i’m gay and he and i are both in our early 20s. hes addicted to gaming and barely wanted to talk to me. he got mad and “didn’t wanna talk to me every day or 24/7” but then he said he was sorry for saying that.

i recently broke up with him and i kind of miss him because in retrospect, our relationship may have actually been healthy. sure, we didn’t have the same interests and such, and he wanted me to pay attention to his but rarely did to mine, but what if he was actually a really good boyfriend?

he did say he never loved me when we broke up, but he could have just been mad. he even apologized but i blocked him. i’m trying to get over him but i do wonder if he was actually a great guy and not just a great friend, but a great boyfriend too. we get mad sometimes, after all. all of us.

and i didn’t text him 24/7 like he said nor every day but he would be playing games or leaving me on read anyway and barely speaking. once he said I could speak to him every day, I did, and he barely talked to me and said he didn’t know what to talk about.

but he always had a good word for everyone, still does considering we just broke up :)

please, i’m going through a tough time so no criticism/attacking against me or anyone, i’m not in the mood or ready for it yet, i just need comfort.

    as someone who loves video games, i’m not addicted. i don’t play every day either. i mainly like my fiancee’s interests but there’s some stuff i may not like and i still engage if she wants me to.

    even when i play games, i still make time for my fiancee and she makes time for me. you can let someone know about your interests and invite them, but don’t force them like he did if they say no.

    he sounded a bit unhealthy for you anyway, you’ll find someone tho.
