Is this playing games?

So during this quarantine my bf has been playing a lot of video games. Which i’m perfectly okay with but when we r texting he’ll just leave for like eight hours mid conversation and i find myself waiting by my phone for a response. I really want to stop this because i feel pathetic. So what i’m going to do now is just tell him to have a nice day in the morning in a kind way and that’s it. That way i’m not waiting around you know? I just want a no bs, mature relationship so hopefully this isn’t game playing right? I just don’t wanna sit around and wait for a text all day, but rather try to focus on doing my own thing.
