Man Becomes Suspicious of Girlfriend After She Marries a Female Character in Skyrim

Videogames and jealousy in relationships don’t go together – they break things apart. Such is the case of today’s Reddit story where a man in his 20s is suspicious of his girlfriend after she married a female character in the massively popular videogame Skyrim.

The Story

This man posted his story originally on AITA (Am I the A**hole?) but it has since been deleted. Luckily, it went viral and a lot of people reshared the story because of how “unique” is it. The boyfriend wrote:

“We’re both in our 20’s and living together during quarantine. My girlfriend has been playing Skyrim for the first time and married Serana. For context, I’m a dude and she’s a (supposedly) straight woman.”

“I personally feel uneasy about this. For starters, I know she would have to install a mod specifically to make Serana marriable. It also makes me question her sexuality, I feel like maybe she’s hiding something from me. When I asked her about it she said that Serana was just the most interesting character and she was still straight, and that it’s a video game and it doesn’t matter. I still think it’s weird because I couldn’t see myself marrying a dude in a video game. I asked her if she could try and find a divorce mod and marry someone else and she laughed at me. I don’t like that she isn’t considering my feelings. AITA?”

The Responses on Twitter

“God the insecurity of this dude is astounding. I am a straight dude and I would absolutely marry a man in a game if I thought he was the most interesting option. That doesn’t make me gay. If I play as a woman character that doesn’t make me a woman does it? Who frilled cares”

@Melpinthe3rd commented:

“This is kind of laughable considering he’s okay with his girlfriend marrying some other guy in a video game. What’s the difference if it’s a woman or not. Someone is simply being paranoid I think…”

@RaulMiranda1981 chimed in:

“I married a dude in this game, purely because I felt bad rejecting him. He just accosted me on some street corner, asked if I liked him, I said yes, and he was all ‘its settled then! Meet you at the church tomorrow’. Been with him for months now, and it’s going OK.”

@Vaelgraev spoke pure facts:

“So a man is gonna reevaluate his relationship over pixels marrying pixels? Let alone got his feelings hurt over the pixels not getting divorced.”
