It seems that videogames aren’t just a relationship strainer for we common mortal mole rats. Even athletes can find themselves so obsessed with gaming that their partners can’t stand it anymore. Take professional tennis player Andy Murray, for example. He spent so much time playingModern Warfare 2,among other games,that his girlfriend left him.
“He would spend all his time glued to them. In the end she just got fed up with it. She wanted more out of the relationship,” a source tells British dishragThe Sun. Apparently, “all his time” meant seven hours a day, which really isn’t all that bad compared to some of theModern Warfare 2players I’ve seen.
Murray’s agent insists that he “doesn’t play computer games any more than any other 22-year-old.” Nevertheless, Kim Sears was alleged to have been driven “mad” by Murray’s love ofModern Warfare 2, and it played a huge factor in the break-up.
Also,The Sunchose to use the pun “in-console-able” in the story. I am almost impressed by how bad that is.
