I (24F) was unemployed for a few months and got hooked on a Roblox game. It helped distract me from stress and boredom. I would play at night after my boyfriend (23M) went to bed. He told me it made him uncomfortable, but I kept playing since it was just a way for me to cope.
Now, he says it bothers him so much that he wants space from me and blames me for it. I wasn’t doing anything else (like texting other people), just playing. I feel like he’s overreacting, but he feels it’s a big issue.
My question is: How do I handle this situation? Should I compromise and cut back on gaming for the sake of the relationship, or is this a red flag that he’s reacting this strongly?
TL;DR: I (24F) play Roblox at night, my boyfriend (23M) says it makes him uncomfortable and now wants space. Is this something I should compromise on, or a red flag?
