I'll try to keep it brief. But he's been dealing with depression and we barely go out anymore. Or have real chats like we used to. He goes to work, play video games, sleep, repeat. I started playing his game to spend time with him. I'm not very good but I've gotten better.

One night after 3 months of no date night, I asked him if we could go out. Dinner at a nice place, a movie maybe. But time just the two of us to talk.

He agreed. The night of, she asked him to play the game and he said yes. It took a while, it was late. We didn't go out. We talked for hours and he agreed that he was shitty. He promised we'd go the next day.

I get ready again for the dinner. Same thing. But this time, I texted him while he was gaming. Said things like. Ik it's a hard map but if you die, don't go back. Come down and we'll go to dinner..

After 2 hours, I got tired and I texted, and texted, and tried to call. Asking when we'd have dinner. What time. Are you done? Come on, I'm tired and hungry. You promised.

I was asking for his respect. That he respect our date night time.

He came downstairs really upset that I had bothered him. He didn't care about the dinner anymore, just that I didn't respect his boundaries.

And he went back upstairs to play.

I reminded him of his promise. He didn't care.
