I'm working on having an attitude like yours. It isn't easy when it's something you're not used to. But... I'm done with drama. I no longer care.

I would say that this isn't a very good way to look at life.
An earlier poster had a great analogy. You're basically saying because you've eaten some rotten apples, you're just never going to touch any apple ever again. That's misidentifying the issue. You should still care and try, but if this is repeatedly happening, you're problem is that you're jumping into significant relationships before actually knowing the person. Drama is going to happen no matter what, in every part of life, and just saying you're going to completely avoid it is a very....high school-ish thing to say. You need to be able to identify those things that cause it unnecessarily, learn to avoid those, and just be able to deal with drama you can't avoid. Romantic relationships are incredibly important in life, and you can't just ditch them because you've have some bad experiences.

I definitely don't believe romantic relationships are important in life. I have always done without them and will continue to do without them.

Going along with the apple analogy, if you ever try a computer with windows, and you get a virus, it doesn't mean that you should give up on windows and get an apple.

oh the sad lonely people that have no idea what they're missing out on. GL in life to you and don't give up on gamers because it's important to find a person that shares your interests to some degree, it can take a little work to find the right person but imagine a bit of work for finding someone amazing you can spend the rest of your life with. Pretty worth it id say

You shouldn't classify all gamers like this.
There are gamers who put their girlfriends before the game, even if they are Pro-Gamers. And/or there are gamers that try to get the girlfriend into the game, so that they can still remain close with them.
I'm really kinda disgusted that a player, who isn't a Pro-Gamer at his respective game, would do the things you've typed out (ignoring for days, "co-existing" so to say.) Not to say that it would be acceptable, even for a Pro-Gamer, but it would be more "understandable" (detestably, given the circumstances of your living together.)
I remember, back to a relationship I had, when I really didn't value the relationship, as much as I should have, there were periods where all I wanted to do was game. Looking back, I realize how stupid this was, and never could've imagined how they felt.
You owe it to yourself to give him an ultimatum, at the very least, it will give you guys a talk, and you can explain everything. If he still remains this way, well then it's telling you who he really is.
Note, even if he does "change", it could just be in light of the ultimatum/talk, and you'll still have to wait for him to slip back into old patterns (weeks, days, or even months after the talk).
If/once you moved out, even as a "test", it would force him to see how he really feels. But then again, you talk about how he is spoiled,etc and just always gets what he wants. So any "impulsive" emotion that comes out of you leaving or a big talk, could again, just be him trying to subconsciously get what he wants, until things "go back to normal" in his ideal world.
Just my two cents. Hope this helped ;;
edit - To all the people saying relationships aren't worth it. That's simply not true, and just because you choose to live your life the way you do, classifying every human to be just like the ones that hurt you, do not make it true. Being afraid to open up again is normal, but to go without it is very sad and unhealthy.You can't fall in love, if you never fall at all.

there is nothing more sexist and annoying than when girls claim they are more like guys and dont want relationships and are better off blah blah lying to themselves. Dont give up on everything because previous shit didnt work out, what kind of trash mentality is that?
If you are going to stave off relationships at least have a legitimate reason like you need to focus on school or work or whatever things a bad or misunderstanding person would not understand or could not deal with.
There are plenty of healthy relationships from all levels of seriousness that also have fulltime school, work, and play. Its all about balance and communication.
A wise meme once told me, for a relationship to work a man needs 3 things: Time, Energy, and Money. If you lack one you must make up for it with the other 2. If you lack 2, then you better fucking have a shit ton of the remaining 1.

I said *one* of the reasons. The others happen to have nothing whatsoever to do with romantic relationships, or even relationships themselves. They're personal issues that I am dealing with myself. Being in a relationship would only further complicate things. It's not highschool-ish not to want to be involved in a relationship at the moment. It's not as if they're compulsory.
Why are they so important? Why should I put energy into something I don't want? I function perfectly well without them, and have no desire to start any now, or in the near future. I don't get why people seem to think they're so essential.

If you're refering to me then why is it so inconcievable that a woman wouldn't want to be in a relationship? I am better off in many respects, and I feel grateful not to have the pressures I associate with being in a relationship bearing down upon me. It's not 'trash mentality' as you put it - it's just personal preference - and mine is to not get myself involved in relationships. Saying that I'm 'lying to myself' is like you trying to impose your views on how I should feel upon me.
Also, if you want 'legitimate' reasons here is a list of mine;
1) I like my space/free time.
2) Language barriers cut off most of the male population here.
3) I have severe body/confidence issues.
4) I don't have the time or energy for a relationship due to work.
5) I'm focusing on my diet/health right now.
To put it simply; relationships are not compulsory, and not all women are the same.

ILOVEKITTENS got banned.
He is more commonly known as fantacist.
The only advice I give is, don't date people that are overly obsessive, not dating a "gamer" is going to do you no good if you start dating a guy that only ever watches/plays sporting events.
You call it a relationship, but there seems to be that there was very little relationship going on, more like 2 people co-habiting.

I wasn't referring to you specifically. I hear it all the time from girls, all the time, and it's just bullshit.
For starters girls trying to claim self toughness by relating themselves to guys who just avoid relationships and do as they please (sex with many partners or not) is self deprecating and sexist against the fact that not all men do this.
Also it just so happens that most of the time I hear this its from a girl who consistently has bad relationships, or just broke up with someone, or just can't seem to get over the fact that they feel incomplete and can't find a better half.
I'm not trying to attack you, I'm just annoyed when girls use those lines like it's some kind of accomplishment.
