- I promise this is a real problem I've been having. My boyfriend, who is a lovely, caring, man, who I love dearly, is bad at video games. We love to play together, and this wouldn't really be a problem, but... It bothers him. Not to mention, he loves to complain about how bad he is. (Been dating him for a year, friends for 4+ years before).
- I've had conversations with him in the past about more specifically his complaining and that the attitude was making it less fun to play with him. He agreed it wasn't fun for him either. Me, him, and all our friends decided to dedicate more time to improving and learning about our favorite games. However, since then, he's either complained about the guides or just completely ignored them to continue making his usual mistakes. My friends and I have mentioned many of these mistakes to him in the past 5+ years of us all playing together, usually in the form of a gentle correction immediately after he experiences the consequences of his decisions. However, he never seems to take this advice to heart. I feel like I'm repeating myself constantly, watching him act completely on impulse 50% of the time and unable to make decisions the other 50%. It's... kind of infuriating to watch.
- It's less about making him better so that we can start winning games and more about us being on the same page. It's hard to watch someone utterly refuse to learn from their mistakes, all the while complaining about it and getting annoyed when me or any of our friends does better than him. I think he believes he can't change, or improve, so he just doesn't. How do I explain that it's bringing the group and I down? How do I... get him to be better at video games??

- **tl;dr: My boyfriend is bad at video games. His attitude is souring because of it, and frankly, I want to win. How am I to tell him how bad he is?
