Being in a relationship means compromising. Unless you’re right and your partner is wrong, of course.

In this case, a man shares that his girlfriend wants him to let her win when they’re playing video games, but he argues that this wouldn’t make sense.

Who’s wrong? And does it matter?

Let’s read the whole post.

AITA for refusing to deliberate lose when we play games?

This is going to sound petty and I agree that it is.

My girlfriend likes to play board games and games together on the Nintendo Switch.

Most of these games are just luck anyway with no skill needed, but some of them you actually need skill or knowledge.

I’ve been playing games a lot longer than my girlfriend so I am better at a lot of them.

This means I win a lot of the time.

Not all of the time though, and there are still times my gf wins.

But she feels discouraged.

The issue is she’s starting to get annoyed whenever I win.

I’ve tried talking to her about playing different games, maybe not playing at all if that’s the reaction she has etc but she refuses.

She said it sucks watching me win all the time and that I could always let her win at times.

I mention that she’s not a child and me letting her win would be obvious, so wouldn’t really change anything.

I also point out a lot of the games are just luck anyway so I can’t really do anything with that.

He was very honest about how he feels.

I mentioned that there’s no enjoyment in it at all for me to just sit back deliberately losing.

I’ve bought her new games, we’ve tried co op games but she’ll still have the same reaction.

I bought her It Takes Two and some other co op games as I thought it would be good but as soon as I managed something easier and quicker than she did she just said it wasn’t fun for her and stopped playing since she couldn’t do it.

They didn’t reach an agreement.

She said I should just want to enjoy playing the game with her and should be fine letting her win.

But I pointed out the same logic could be applied to her in that she should just be fine playing the game with me and be fine with me winning but she said it wasn’t the same.

AITA?

She should practice alone and give him a taste of his own medicine.

Let’s see how Reddit reacted to this.

This reader shares the way they see it.

Interesting opinion.

A suggestion.

Something to consider.

It’s not rocket science!

Food for thought.

Arguing about who is right is never a good idea.

He’ll learn…
