So, I had a chat like this on r/confession but I didn't get much helpful help.<br><br>I'd like to know what you guys think.<br><br>Basically, I'm in a relationship with a girl since 6 years.<br><br>My biggest problem is that she everything I like is a "game" to her.<br><br>We play video games, but she consider Gamerscore to be a game in itself.<br><br>We play Pool and sometimes we make little bets (I put some money in the machine, she has to do the same and the winner takes the money). She can consider the game of pool to be a sub-game and the main game is the betting game.<br><br>We go to the gym. She considers the gym to be a sub-game to the game of fitness.<br><br>The problem here is that she is always focusing on the main game than the sub-game.<br><br>For example, if we play a game of pool, she will only try her best if she looks at the bigger picture, so she may intentionally lose 2-3 racks to try to lose less in the betting game, which I **H A T E**.<br><br>I've tried to sit and talk with her, explained her how her behaviour is annoying to me, she always agrees to do what I want, then after a while she just can't help it and go as I described above.<br><br>What would you do in my situation?
