    My ex-spouse accused me of cheating on him.

    …with a character in the video game.

    …because I “clearly love him more that you love me!”

    Whenever he’d be upset (for whatever reason), he would snap and say “Why don’t you go talk to the person you actually love??” before giving me the silent treatment until he needed something.

    It was the beginning of the end.

    Don’t miss it lol

    EDIT: oh fuck, I forgot… he actually sold our PS4 containing the game/save file completely out of the blue a few months after his first accusation, without telling me first. The game in question was “Stardew Valley”. He was a shitty little man.

      What I’m reading is he was right on the money about the pixel character being a more appealing love interest.

      Wifey found your post very insightful and also funny. Despite not being funny. As we’re currently in a stardew-marathon and she (being not a hardcore gamer) asked me if I knew if anyone ever fell in love with an NPC. I didn’t knew, then I stumbled upon your comment and showed her 😁

        It’s funny in its own weird way! No worries.

        I tried to show the game to my then-spouse, because I wanted him to play, too! He didn’t want to play “”“a lame girl game”“”.

        Have a fun marathon!! And keep doing stuff together! (:

          Sounds like you dodged a bullet… What’s more manly than playing a dating farmer that wears a dotted minnie-mouse-bow? 😁

          And thank you, we will. Just bad I already introduced her to the king of the genre…what next? Sandrock? SunHaven? Anyhow …

      Was it the poet who lives on the beach? That was the only one I’d have been threatened by

      Lol, my girlfriend says she always marries Sebastian because he reminds her of me. I hope that’s a good thing. She wants me to play but I struggle getting into top-down games 😕
