Gaming has been the source of him completely neglecting our relationship for years, going through periods of trying to do better/patch it up, and then falling into the same pattern of neglect. I don’t know why people on this sub think it’s okay for people to game for 50-70 hours/week (roughly as much as my boyfriend) even if they’re barely scraping by in other areas of life, be it social or financial. It has been detrimental to our relationship. It goes so far beyond me disliking his hobby. It isn’t a hobby- he has let it take over his life. He works the bare minimum so he can get by and pay rent and commits the rest of his time to games. To put it in perspective, his job allows him to make the same amount in 10 hours as I do in 40.
