When a group of friends go out together, it's standard for them to actually interact with each other. Sure, people get distracted by their phones here and there, but for the most part, people are hanging out and conversing. That's the entire point of meeting up in person. The group activity should also be something that most of the group - if not all - is actually enjoying doing. It's really rude to disregard other people's feelings. In today's 'Am I the A$$hole?' post, OP posted about how her boyfriend and his friends expect her and their girlfriends to watch them play video games. They call it "game night" even though the girlfriends aren't playing and straight-up aren't having a good time. When OP told them that she rather wouldn't participate in a night where nobody actually hangs out, the group of guys accused her of ruining game night. Such childish behavior. Scroll down for all the details.

    Font - r/AmItheAsshole. Posted by u/Tough-Second-3696 18 hours ago 2 AITA for shutting down future "game nights" with my BF and his friends because they expected us to just sit around watching them play video games?

    OP definitely sounds like she's in the right.

    Font - My boyfriend and his friends like to play video games together. I have little to no interest in video games. The issue is that for some reason he and his friends think that them playing video games is the most interesting thing in the world.

    We have no idea why they think their girlfriends are actually having fun watching them play video games.

    Font - And you know how guys who are into sports will have their girlfriends come watch their games? He and his friends kind of expect us, the women, to do the same.

    Font - I'll admit that we tried it once. It was boring and a huge waste of time. None of us had any interest in just sitting there watching them play games. But for some reason the guys like, expected that somehow this counted as a "group hangout" and thought it was a great time.

    Font - They started to make plans to do it again, and I stepped in and said "Hey you guys can play but we aren't going to just sit around watching you play video games?" They didn't get why we didn't like it, because THEY like sitting around watching people play games and are always watching "streamers" play.

    Human body - I said if we're going to hang out as a group, we all need to be like... doing stuff together? Interacting?

    Font - They argued back that we could always join them playing the games, and I just said that I know I have no interest in that, and a few of the other women chimed in to say so.

    Font - Well, the guys are pissed at me now because to them, I ruined "game" night, which to them was something that everyone could enjoy. I don't get why they can't just play games together without dragging bored girlfriends along for the ride?

    Font - My instinct is that some of them were using it as a way to pretend they were "spending time" with their girlfriends so they don't get pegged as being shitty boyfriends.

    Font - zoeyjax. 18 hr. ago Asshole Enthusiast [6] ΝΤΑ I think of board games or watching sports when I hear "game night". Regardless, what's a "game night" when it excludes those who...don't play? I've been this GF a few times and it's never as interesting as they wish it was.

    Rectangle - tubaliz 15 hr. ago NTA I love gaming and have a few favorite streamers. But watching my nephew (as an example) play video games? SUPER boring. If you're not interested in watching someone else play a game, then there's no reason to watch said person play a game
