Iinto break up over a video game

Well as the title said I did break up with my girlfriend of 2 years over a video game. It was cod ghosts and I bought the game when it first came out( I'm not really in to cod that much and haven't played a lot of them) and I got really in to it and was on it everyday. I will confess that I LOVE games it's what keeps me from going insane. I don't think anyone but true gamers can understand this. When I'm in a video game I can be a superhero or a soldier or a doctor and feel good about it. It's a place I go where I can escape this shitty world and be who I want to be.

Anyway this is what happened. I recently at the time lost one of my every good friends. He got in to a car accident and suffered major brain trauma before dieing. I was so upset and was crying my eyes out for weeks. Well I did what I normally do and went to video games so I got the games and started to feel better. So one day my now ex comes over to cheer me up but as always I was playing games. She sits down next to me and asks me how I'm going. I didn't answer and kept playing and she sat there in silence for awhile. She gave me a couple of funny faces and told a few jokes to get my spirits up. I smiled and she was spinning in the swivel chair and hit my Xbox with her foot. The Xbox was standing up on the desk where all my games and tv were and it fell over and I heard the disc make an awful scratching sound. With a surprised look on her face, she quickly picked back up and said she was sorry. I just looked at her I went over to the Xbox and got the disc out and looked at it but it had a huge ring scratch on the center of it and I knew it was ruined but I still tried to put it back in and tried to play it as if it didn't happen. The disc and the console would not work and I got very angry I didn't yell or scream but a tear went down my face . She kept saying she was sorry and she'd buy a new one and she knew how important they where to me. I told her that she should leave but she came up to me and hugged me. I pushed her away and told her to get out. She walked out crying and I could care less I was and still am more worried about my games.

The next day she tried calling me and I ignored it and the texts and I didn't answer the door when she came over. So you could say we broke up and that was it I didn't make any contact with her and just let it be . So tell me did I do something wrong or was I just acting NORMAL.

    You are a pompous douchebag. I don't even care that you lost a friend anymore. The way you are acting is inexcusable. That girl sounds like an amazing person. Send her to me, i'll treat her right. You go play your silly call of duty

    Im a girl and I have been in your situation relating to the Xbox.

    I was doing insanity fitness and p90x and other workouts on YouTube nonstop for many hours each day. I was also working at two jobs and barely ate and I got down to 80lbs. My husband dragged me to the doctor who told him It is recommended i get admitted to a hospital.

    he got upset I was fighting against him and was still trying to work out. he smashed my DVDs and I didn't talk to him for months and yes I did wanted to break up with him because of that.

    I'm soo happy to be recovered now. I mean,I still like working out but I know my limitations now and I eat a lot.

    No you were out of line...you have a problem...an addiction. You should seek professional help for your addiction.
    games should never mayter more then people.

    You want to know something...I could do that exact same thing your ex did ...and yes my bf would be pretty mad as these things cost a bit of money.... but i would be forgiven. Even i would be maf if my bf broke my ds and pokemon game ... but id forgive him and he would save up and buy me a new one. Games and things are replaceable people arnt.
    She was just trying to be there for you and you countinue to act like a class A asshole.
    so I guess you can be alone with nothing but games left in your life ...or you can strengthen up.

    I am sorry for your loss.

    OP, do you care that she's not in your life? Why did you make this thread if it's normal to you? Obviously something feels wrong here to you. Think about it.

    How ya going. Lol Aussies. Yeah man, you need to chill out, sounded like it was an accident. She might have had a new game for u in her hand when she came to ur door. You never know, plus, you shouldn't be that attached to a video game. Especially when you have someone flesh and blood that loves you trying to help you.

    There are stages to the grieving process. And you are clearly in the denial and isolation stage. This is a normal reaction. You need some time to be alone and come to terms with what has happened. All that said, you could have been more polite to your girlfriend. It seems to me she was trying to help, she just didn't know how. If you can, just explain to her that you need to be alone right now. And that you will call her when you can. I'm sure she will understand.

    Also if I may. You need not feel so bad that your friend has died. Death is not an end, but a beginning. Your friend is free from this world, and in a much better place. I'm sure he sees you now and wishes he could explain that you should not grieve so. Rather celebrate the things you remember about your friend. The good times you have had. I'm sure he does not want you to suffer in the way that you are. I hope I've helped a little. And blessed be.

    Next time, get a Wii U. I think it has CoD: Ghosts on it.
