Am I being unreasonable?
Hello! I want advice on a situation with my boyfriend that happened literally just 10 minutes ago.
So, we've been together for 2 and a half years at this point and from the beginning I've known he was super into video games which isn't an issue of course. Any time I would visit, he'd give me his attention and only play when I wasn't around.
I ended up moving in with him about 6 months into the relationship and when I moved in he immediately switched to playing games more and more each day.
Now here we are, in a situation where he's unemployed and at home literally all day every day so he has all of the time in the world to play his games. I however still go to work everyday and when I come home, he'll say hi and have a quick little convo (some days) and then he'll be back to what he's doing. He stays like that for literal hours and when I finally get tired enough to sleep he'll be bummed out because he apparently wanted to hang out.
There are points where I'll go through phases where I feel super touch starved and it makes me super irritable and I literally want to cry at every little thing. When this happens, I crave attention more than I typically would.
I just got home from work and I asked him if we could spend time together on the couch and just hang out. He was in the middle of something and said I would have to wait at least an hour. I then asked if there was any way at all that I could have one single day of the week where I could come home and immediately start spending time with him for just a couple hours. His response to this was that he felt I was asking a lot, but he would try. Rather than accepting what I was given I asked how it was asking too much and he told me "I'm just not comfortable with being controlled like that"
And like???
I'm sorry, am I being controlling? Am I asking too much? With the way he responds I think I may be a little bit wrong, but the way that I feel doesn't really match up :/ this is my first serious relationship and I would really appreciate any insight/advice
