‘You need a reality check’: Gamer Girl Breaks up With Boyfriend After He Accuses Her of Cheating Based on Her Game of The Sims

Anyone who has ever played The Sims knows that the best part of that game is creating drama and chaos. I mean sure, we all played a few games in which we created a wholesome family and let them live their lives, find a job, get married, buy a house, etc. But the real fun begins when someone gets picked up by aliens, or when a pool party goes terribly wrong. 

The girl in this Reddit story feels the same, as she enjoys creating drama on this game. But for her, the drama also happened in real life. When her boyfriend watched her playing The Sims, he noticed that the sim in the game had multiple boyfriends and fiancés. For some reason, that made him believe that if it happens in The Sims, it must happen in real life too, and he started accusing his girlfriend of cheating on him. If that was true, I don't want to tell you what I've been up to while playing GTA…

Scroll down to read the girlfriend's reaction to the ridiculous accusations. After that, click here for another story of a bride who refused to invite her ex-best friend to her wedding.

    I broke up with my boyfriend over the most ridiculous thing

    Okay obviously, I know the breakup wasn't because of the argument itself, but because of his insecurity and the things he said. But the argument that led to this was so stupid.

    I told him that was the dumbest thing I've ever heard (because I'm terrible at deesclating things clearly) and pointed out that making loyal, nice sims with good morals was boring because half the fun of the game is causing drama.

    Then I said it was ridiculous to assume I was doing any of the things I have my sims doing because 1. I don't like drama in real life 2. I'm a homebody and don't like interacting with people too often so when would I be meeting all these people

    I knew he would likely tell our mutual friend that we'd broken up because I'd cheated, but my mama raised a petty . So as soon as he left I sent a mass text to all our friends, my family,

    the only people who've reached out all think it's just as ridiculous as I do. I blocked James and so far no one has said anything about his reaction to this, but I'm sure he'll be pd our friends all seem to think he's insecure and acted like a child.

    Accidental_Cat45 OP. 14 hr. ago Right like, where was this logic when I was playing GTA while he was here and I stole a tank and took on the cops as they tried to arrest me? That's far more concerning behavior, I think.
