am i overreacting w my bfs gaming habits?
i have been living w my bf for the past 6ish months now and though it has been amazing, but his gaming habits are starting to get to me a bit.
to start this off, he’s an amazing guy, he’ll go with me anywhere, anytime i want and he’s super sweet. when we first started hanging out he never gamed when we did, at all. then the closer we got the more comfortable he got with doing it every so often. facetiming him before we moved in tg, he would game all night. and now living with him, he still games all night long. any time he is awake, and i’m not dragging him out with me to do something, he is in his chair, gaming. i am thankful for the time he does spend with me when i ask him to go somewhere with me, and the time i get btw his games when he will talk with me for a little bit, he will also sit and watch youtube videos w me sometimes but it’s always in his chair. i just feel as if his gaming is just very excessive and it’s starting to bother me. ive asked him to build legos w me the past few days and i get dramatic responses sometimes bc he just would rather game i think.
i’ll ask him some nights to lay with me for a little bit and i normally get a “maybe” that never really happens, or a “in a little bit” but once he realizes i’ve fallen asleep without him he continues gaming.
sometimes when he’s super loud and i can’t fall asleep i’ll try to hint at him to get off or take a break as i have school and work early every few days out of the week and he never seems to quite notice. i don’t know if im overreacting or not so pls lmk!
