What should I do with my boyfriend playing video games?

[Anonymous]

My boyfriend started playing video games this couple of days, for hours, and he doesn't respond to my texts as fast as he used to at the beginning. I was very upset yesterday because i just wanted to talk at him and i thought that maybe he didn't like me anymore and i talked it out with him and he said that i am pressuring him a little bit to much to talk fo hours. I understand that we both need some space but i was really sad and he kept telling me he is sorry that he is playing and he doesn't respond. Also my boyfriend is the type that goes out a lot with his friends and i am the type of person to stay at home. In addition my boyfriend has more friends that i do but when he doesn't respond as much because he has a life and he does something nice for himself it upsets me because i just stay at home all day and he is my only company. How should i behave and what to do to calm down when he late responds.

It is your own fault if you want to stay at home all day and he has a life. Why is he not allowed to do stuff on his own? It would be one thing if he was playing videogames all day long every day but that is not what I am reading here. You say hours. Well let me give you an example. My dad golf's with his buddies. It takes them around 4 hours. My mom will go to lunch with a friend or me and my sister and do some stuff she wants to do. She doesn't pester him while he is trying to relax doing what he likes. You can't expect complete control over your boyfriend.

this is a bit harsh but true

Honestly you need to have more relationships outside of your boyfriend, even if it is only one friend that you spend time with and talk to outside of him. There are apps that will help introduce you to other people also looking for friendships. It is healthy to have some space and not spend all of your time together or talking all the time. Or even just picking up other hobbies that you enjoy and doing that.

It's cool for you to stay home all day, probably watching tv and using gag, but he isn't allowed to play his game for a couple of hours?

Get a hobbies and some freinds.

Sounds like you need to go make friends and have some hobbies and company aside from your boyfriend.

Or, if you are set on only having your boyfriend, then you need to find someone else who is also looking to become co-dependent.

But honestly? You can't expect him to be your only company.

You need to make connections and relationships outside of just him.

U need to actually have your own life and nor expect him to be all your relationship and social needs unless u want to burn him out

You are insecure. He is enjoying a hobby. Get over it or join him.

Run away from him, video games are for losers
