Boyfriend... issues?
I've mentioned before that I worry about Andrew choosing video games over me... Right now is one of those times.
He works during the week, 7:30-4 or so, and when he comes home, he plays video games all evening. To be fair, we'll eat supper together and watch an episode of our latest show, but even while we do that, he'll be doing something with his game in the background.
Every other day or so, I manage to catch him in the right mood to play Minecraft together, which is fun... I just feel like he plays his games SO FRIGGIN' MUCH. I honestly feel a little attention-starved at the moment. It's Saturday night and all I want is for my boyfriend to reach over, caress my cheek and say something sweet. I don't need an hour-long snuggle session. I just want him to acknowledge my presence every so often.
I wish I could just talk to him about this, but he'd only get upset. He'd tell me that he'd never choose video games over me. I know if I was crying or hurt or something like that, he'd turn the game off, but if I just said, "Hey, let's hang out," he'd tell me that he's in the middle of something, maybe in a bit. I feel like I'm not allowed to be upset about this stuff because he truly believes we're spending enough time together. To me, though, there's a world of difference between sitting in the same room and actually spending time with each other. I want to talk with him, joke around and be silly, go outside... But right now, all I can do is watch over his shoulder as he plays his game. I can't tell him that I think he plays too much. He'd tell me that he'd never choose video games over me, but he would still finish his goddamn instance before we talk about anything.
What do I dooooo. This isn't some high school puppy love. This is grown-up living-together love. Why does it feel so juvenile?
