Playing games... (and always losing)

I now remember why Dustin and I watch TV instead of playing games. It's because he wins. Every single time. Every single game. No matter what. I don't know or understand why, but no matter what game we play, DUSTIN WINS. Do you know how bad that is on my self esteem?! It's horrific. One of these days I think I will beat him. Somehow I will arise victorious. But it NEVER happens. And I hate it.

We recently bought the game Ticket to Ride after our friends Scott and Tiffany introduced it to us. We thought it would be a good idea to get it since we should probably spend more time playing games than watching tv... maybe a better use of our minds? I don't know, but we got it and have been playing it the last couple of nights. It started out fun... except then Dustin started winning... and winning... and winning every time. He would even use my strategy to now not just win, but CREAM me. This is not a funny situation. It devastates me every time I lose. And every time he has no idea how he won. And even feels bad for winning because I get so angry. This makes me sick.

What's a girl supposed to do with a husband who constantly beats her at EVERYTHING?! If anyone has any suggestions, I am very open to them. My self esteem could sure use some good ideas.

Loves,

Simple, you need to find a game that it is impossible for him to win. And then use your womanly wiles to ONLY ever play you game you constantly win so that he knows what its like to lose. We can discuss various games later. xoxo, AG

Okay Brianne I totally know how you feel. Nathan and I don't play games much anymore because Nathan ALWAYS wins and I get so devastated after so many losses. He's very competitive and I would wager Dustin may be a more peaceable winner than Nathan. :D I know the feeling and don't have suggestions... except only play games with others when you are on the same team.
