This all depends where you live. Dave and Buster's is probably the worst place you can take her.

not it’s not

really don't know where to start with this, and it sounds very petty, but I am at my wit's end dealing with my boyfriend.

Some context, we have been together for two years and he is overall fantastic. Very thoughtful, kind, funny, interesting, and responsible. For instance he always brings me my favorite snacks when he goes out without me even asking for them. He'll comfort me after a tough day at work (I work at a call center and get some crazy ones). For the most part he is also very respectful of me. We were both raised Catholic and he's very active in the church and an overall stand-up guy, which I admire a lot. Literally the only problem in our relationship is this obsession with Dave and Busters. I'm only telling you guys all of this so you don't just tell me to break up with him, because although we have this problem I really don't want to leave him.

I guess I will just get to the bad part. My boyfriend absolutely must go to Dave and Busters once a week, or else he throws a tantrum. I am not exaggerating when I use the word "tantrum". We are talking crying, stomping, etc. It's bad. He will beg and plead, and state that the only thing he wants is for us to "Go to Busters" and if it's been more than a week he'll say we haven't been in "forever". I've tried talking it through with him. I have suggested other restaurants, even other barcades, but it *has* to be Dave and Busters. When I tell him I don't really enjoy going with him and that he could go alone, he says something like "What do you mean, you love Busters, I give you all the prizes!" When we do go, we spend a ridiculous amount of money (which I split with him), and he makes me follow him around to each game to play together.

I pressed him about it and the only explanation he's been able to give me is that he had his 9th birthday at D&Bs and considers it "the single best day of his life". How do I help him move past this? I really want to keep dating this man. I know nostalgia can be a powerful force, but this is absolutely unacceptable. PLEASE help reddit!

tl;dr, my boyfriend is obsessed with D&B's and won't accept not going there at least once a week. We have a great relationship other than this and I need help because I am really at a loss for how to deal with this

I thought I recognized this. I dunno if it’s the exact one, but it’s similar. That dude was obsessed with pizza eating for his YT viewers though.
