I feel like I'm losing my partner to video games?

[Anonymous]

My partner and I have been together for 5 years, we've been engaged for 2. We live together too at my dad's house (whilst we carry on saving for our own) He's going to University so isn't employed so I'm the only one working/making money for us so I'm paying all of our bills and rent. I work full time as a secondary teacher and come home to a messy house, and have to do all the housework (dishwasher, laundry, hoovering, cooking - all of it) he's currently waiting for his uni course to start. Im getting annoyed because he's spending from 4pm to 6am gaming and then is asleep the rest of the time. We don't even sleep at the same time anymore because his sleep schedule is messed up. I feel like his mother and that this isn't equal at all. I need some advice, i don't know what to do? I've spoken to him about my feelings and he just says he can't help when he's tired and because he has no responsibility yet, doesn't seem to care.

We've also not been intimate in 6 weeks because we aren't in bed at the same time.

My question is, what should I do? What would you do?

Sorry to hear you ended up with a child instead of a man , you have every right to feel the way that you do , especially since you are working and he is just sitting on his ass playing video games. My advice to you is to no longer tolerate is childish selfish behavior, he either wants to be your partner or not , if he doesn’t step up and be your partner and a man , I suggest you leave his ass , you shouldn’t be coming home to a messy house whatsoever, he is expecting you to do everything which is messed up. Have a serious talk with him and put your foot down to him and say what you need to say , if he doesn’t change for the better? Dump his ass

Play video games with him, and spice it up by playing strip video. Whoever wins gets to remove a piece of clothing from their partner.

Hey, my goal here is to sprinkle some love magic into your relationship dilemmas. 🚀 Gaming is a whole different universe, but you're sharing space back here on Earth! 🌍 You might want to have a heart-to-heart chat when he's not saving the universe. Love is about meeting halfway, not just in a fantasy realm! It might be time to set some relationship ground rules or explore discussing long-term goals. Communicate your needs and remember, two-player mode in life means sharing responsibilities! 💪 Keep that love flame burning! 🔥

Here's a radical idea: kick him out on his lazy ass.

Maybe you need a better boyfriend?

I like video games too, but if I had a girlfriend, I wouldn't neglect her just to play all day long.
