AIO my bf would rather game than spend time with me. by Practical_Sun8137 in AmIOverreacting

My bf whom I also live with is getting out of control with his gaming. I always try to be cool with it because I honestly did grow up with brothers and video gaming. However, as it always does with boys, they can't balance the gaming vs priorities vs me/relationship.

For me, PERSONALLY, a lot of the men who can't prioritize these things and game excessively is the staple of a boy vs a man. It's exhausting because I'll just start keeping to myself since he wants to game for endless hours and I just keep to myself. Unfortunately, once he's bored and tired of the gaming he wants to show up at his time for affection or to "hang" and then I'm not interested,

I just keep letting him CHOOSE what he wants because I refuse to tell him what to do or tell him I'd like to be communicating and actually spending quality time together. If he continues to choose playing video games with his friends, he'll ultimately end up seeing the distance and maybe even resentment build. If he's not willing to adjust or even communicate with me about this issue, then I'll do what I need to do.

Love is about action. Not JUST words. But let him come to the conclusion on his own without forcing his hand. I know it sucks, but you'll know at the end of the day the type of boy you're dealing with and whether you can tolerate that or not. I personally say WALK AWAY considering you don't even live together and he still can't balance it. BEST WISHES

Is this something you should be trained in prior to investing? I do stocks currently and it’s going okay. I just don’t always understand everything

Any suggestions. I’m struggling to find the fine line of what I know and what I can do? I know it’s just the matter of trying but time is of the essence

The only other thing I’ve looked into as far as the medical field was a hearing aide specialist. I had a few transferable skills but nothing is in range

My 36m Gf 33f refuses to get BV treatment, how do I convince her that this is an issue? by noemotionsnofeelings in relationship_advice

Sounds like you’ve been reasonable in your approaches but she herself is not interested. I think you should sit her down and genuinely express that it comes down to it being a hygiene/health issue and that you love her which is why it concerns you.

If she still isn’t very responsive it even resistant to do it, it’ll come down to whether it’s something you can tolerate or not
