There are issues in ever relationship, they just come with the territory. It's can actually be a great way to get to know someone better. But when it is the same argument over and over again with no change, that is when things get dicey. 

One wife took to Reddit to get advice on her current marital problem. The issues for this couple, however, has to do with gaming. See, the husband and wife are avid gamers and take the games they play very seriously. They both are heavily steeped in the gaming culture and know the edict behind it. So when he husband keeps playing her saved game without her permission and saving over it, she begins to see red. It isn't just the fact that he did it once, it is that they had the argument and concluded that he was in the wrong and he wouldn't do it again. But when she was out of town for work, he repeated the offense. When she came home she simply lost it. It was both a disrespect to a boundary that she set, and also misogynistic  in the since that when she asked if he would have done this to any of his guy friends he said no. 

She asked Reddit if she was overreacting, but fellow female gamers came to her side to support her anger. Read the her story and gamers' reactions below!
