So my boyfriend took a week off work to play a new expansion for his game. Which I don’t mind because I am a gamer myself and I know how it feels to want to binge a new game. I expressed that as long as he makes some time for us during the week, it’ll be okay. And he agreed.
Issue is, before his vacation, I was telling him how I’d like to set some time aside to do something together that doesn’t involve a screen. Like get out the house or maybe do an intimate date at home. He said he’s been busy with work and catching up with household chores. I’ve been living with him for 6 months and he works remote (hardly does his work) and he doesn’t really clean much. He usually stays up all night then wakes up and gets online. He also makes time to hang with his friends at least once a week. Which is out at a bar.
So during his vacation I mentioned that It would be nice if he made time for us to do something since he has time off work and he got defensive and said he should be able to spend his vacation how he wants. So for a week, he gets up and gets on the game for 15 hours and goes to bed. The issue lies that his friends ask him to come out and he gets excited and is more than willing (during this vacation week). I don't know what to do. I’ve spoken with him about it and he gives me excuses but I tell him he has no problem making time for friends. Maybe I should cut my loses. We’ve been together for 3 years. He’s 33 and I’m 28.
so point being he has no problem pulling himself away from the game or anything in general if his friends beckon for him, but me a live in girlfriend, wants to do more stuff then just stare at a screen and he acts like he has no time and seems annoyed.
