Problems with the SO.

My boyfriend is a grown man. We’re really mature and we usually communicate with each other. He stopped going to college because he felt as if college wasn’t for him. Okay, I didn’t really think of myself with someone who didn’t put their education as one of their priorities, but some may still become successful without a degree... of course, I supported him. We’ve been together two years.. It has been on and off but the past few months have been great, we disagree but we never really argue.

These past few days have been the most stressful days of my life. He has been stuck on his game everyday and my time must be limited because “he has to get back on. His boys are waiting for him”. It gets pretty annoying after a while. I try my best to be the most understanding and the best girlfriend.

Moving forward, yesterday was one of my most stressful days out the week. I was finishing my college stuff, and every time I take a step forward, I get pushed back 100. It’s tiresome. After spending half of my day at the college I attend, I was so disappointed and upset. I was hoping I can go to my own boyfriend for comfort. I called him and he said hey I can’t speak right now I’m on my game. I’m usually understanding and I’ll say okay babe call me when you can so I can speak to you. But after many times of saying the same thing and being taken advantage of, I’m tired. So I just hung up. I didn’t want to start an argument or throw a tantrum. This whole week of college stuff has taken over me, I can’t speak to him in the daytime because he’s too busy on his game. And after staring at the television screen for 15 hours, he goes to bed so that eliminates my chances to speak to him at night... It’s so unfair to me.

We didn’t speak for the night after he told me I was a headache and he didn’t need that negativity in his life. He texted me today and told me he hasn’t been liking the person I’m being. And definitely not the person I am now. He also told me he will not be putting up with the person I’ve been towards him. And he won’t let me stress him out and he will continue to be happy, because he’s happy with the person he became. All I replied with was “okay, thank you.” I am speechless and just swept off my feet. I don’t know what to think or how to feel but it is what it is and I have to move on with my life..

I feel so empty and just a mess right now. My birthday is in a few days and we had so much planned. Is it wrong to ask for some attention and comfort at the times of need? Am I asking for too much? All I ask is that him being there for me when I’m stressed. Somebody to talk to. And that’s too much for him to do. I feel so lost. What’s my next step?

Please one of you, enlighten me and tell me I’m wrong to be upset. And tell me I should work things out because I am so exhausted of being taken advantage of and just letting everyone step all over me. I’m nothing but kind to everybody, I don’t understand why I can’t get some respect back. I guess this was more of a rant than advice seeking. So thanks for reading ladies and gents. Please feel free to leave some comments and advice down well if you want. Anything is appreciated.

I’m not a gamer girl if anyone was going to suggest that. I work part time and a student full time. I don’t have time to game. I barely have time to watch an episode of a television show..
