In January I bought my SO his long awaited PS5 slim for our 2 year anniversary gift. He was delighted and I’m happy he’s happy.
He slowly started getting addicted to it and because of this I’ve had a big fight with him once, after which he tried to cut down on his usage when I’m around but now it’s starting to go back to how it was before the fight again.
Last night, after a long day of work, despite feeling very tired, I went to do grocery shopping and whipped up a meal for us. (He works from home and he would be playing the ps5 intermittently every few hours as his ‘break’. Usually once he picks it up he can’t put it down for at least an hour. )
After dinner we both did the cleaning up and when I went to shower I heard him picking up the ps5 to start playing. When I came out he continued playing. He usually does this when I go shower but doesn’t stop for another hour after I come out. At 9:30pm he said he had a meeting but it should be quick. We were going to spend some quality Friday night time together after his meeting. He brought his ps5 in- to which I gave him a look- but he was explaining he needed to turn it off. Because he had been playing till 9:28pm before running into the room to set up his meeting.
One hour later and I heard nothing from his room. It was quiet for a while. I opened the door and there he was lying on the bed playing on his ps5. He couldn’t even take off his work shirt before playing; he had to plunge into playing the moment his meeting ended.
Clearly I was upset since I was waiting for him to end his meeting. He started to raise his voice and said his meeting only ended 15min ago and started saying I was also on my phone. I said I was waiting for his meeting to end!
Anyway we finally started watching a show together (though my mood’s been ruined and I was very tired at that point). I half dozed off during the show and after the show ended I went to get ready for bed and so did he. Usually I wait for him to finish his work before we go to bed together. He was getting ready for bed too so I said I was gonna head into the room first. He said he’s wrapping up and coming in soon. That was at 12 midnight.
I fell asleep and when he finally came in I asked what time it was and he said 2am. I know he must’ve seen I had fallen asleep and was playing his ps5 again. Maybe he was really busy working but I don’t like how now I have to suspect he’s just wanting me to sleep so he could play. We don’t even go to bed together anymore ever since he’s had the ps5.
He tells me at least he’s not out clubbing.
Is this me being unreasonable or him being too much? I feel like I can’t proceed to our next stage in the relationship (which is to get married) with him behaving like this.
Any advice is appreciated. TIA
TLDR: bf getting addicted to ps5 and causing a problem in our relationship
