I am a woman and I play video games too. We have 2 Xbox consoles, 1 Wii console (yes the Wii is still fun in 2021) and a gaming PC in our apartment. So the problem isn't that I don't understand why he plays games because I do; they're hella fun, especially when you play with your friends. We even play together from time to time.
But I'm starting to become frustrated because I've expressed to him that my love language is quality time. I love being able to plan dates, go on walks and exercise with him; just genuinely spending time with him. And he claims to understand but does nothing to show that he does. Last night I sat in the living room watching him play at 4 am. I started getting tired around 4:30 and asked he come lay down with me so we could snuggle and he called me clingy.
I put my life on pause for this guy and all he's revealed about his character is that he's a pothead gaming addict with no true ambition and no real desire to keep me around (and I smoke too, so I'm not even mad that he smokes 🍃, i'm more concerned about the frequency in which he smokes which is about once an hour each day. it gives me dependency vibes).
Anyway, I don't know. I know this isn't Quora and I probably seem hopeless but I'd love to get some advice from wise strangers on the internet. What would you do in my situation? I don't want to break up with him because I truly love this dude. Any advice is good though. Thanks.
