so I don't know if I've ever told y'all this but Alex sometimes has the tendency to be kind of an addictive gamer. He loves PC and console games (I can't blame him for that as I do too) and he plays them A LOT. I knew this before we were in a relationship as he'd talk to me while he was gaming on voice or video sometimes.
Anyway... so this past week he and his best friend got a 2 week free trial to a new MMO and they have been playing it almost nonstop. Usually they hang out and do whatever on the weekends and then during the week Alex and I talk. Well this past Monday he didn't get on to talk to me, and he didn't on Tuesday or Wednesday. I was feeling pretty lonely. Yeah, he'd send me e-mails (at like 4 in the morning) after they were done gaming, but that only helped a little tiny bit ^^; I didn't say anything, though, because I figured...it's okay if every once in a while he took some time out for just him. He can be a little selfish when it comes to that and it's been a while since he's done something like this so I decided I'd only say something about it if he did it for a second week in a row.
But on Thursday night I texted that I was going to sleep within an hour so if he wanted to talk that's the longest I'd be available and he got online right away. I was surprised but we started chatting and I told him I thought he'd be gaming with his friend. He told me he uninstalled the game. I asked him if there was something wrong with it, game mechanics, etc, and he said, "just figured that if i dont see you this much while im playing a free trial, what happens when i pay for it?" *blush*
So I'm glad I didn't say anything to him about the game because it means more to me that he came up with that on his own. and, also, if he's willing to put away something he likes for me... then that means that he really does care and think I'm important. This had been a problem in the past but I'm happy he came to this conclusion on his own.
Just wanted to share with y'all.
