YTA. So, u called him unplanned with the chance he was occupied w something? And now ur upset he was? I just know u woulda been upset if he continued to play and call at the same time, or he woulda been frustrated having to drop everything he was doing. Girl, the only way id say ur nta is if he didn’t seem interested in calling back later, once he was able to give u his full attention.

I don’t think it’s that deep. Like did you text first or just assumed he wasn’t busy? It’s not like he knew you were gonna call him. Sure maybe you think the game is dumb but if it’s for money I’d assume he’d just call back

Nta I get he was gaming and in a competitive match my bf does too but it’s literally just a game, if I call or anyone important calls he stops playing doesn’t matter what he’s play atm

It’s incredibly emotionally immature to put a video game over the emotions and accomplishments of your partner. Unless he is a competitive player that makes money from this, he’s a child and you need to have some self respect. Free yourself from him.

Nta you deserve better and yes he cares about his game but your gf graduating is way more important than that

You could just talk with him. The fact that you posted here about it is lowkey a red flag.

I don’t think this raises any red flags for either side, but did he ask to call you back? I don’t know to me I’m more important than my man’s silly little games and if I called him with something important like that he wouldn’t want me to just hang up. That’s a big accomplishment! I’m so proud

Video games are alright i dont really think anyone needs to be mad in this situation. U could just said ill call u back and hang up. If he only plays video games then i would say theres an issue.

All the comments talking abt how op is in the wrong bc ‘bf passionate abt smth to’ are just fucking gremlins in their moms basements who feel attacked & have nothing better to do w/ their lives. Its literally just a fucking game and is not that important. While op graduated (congrats btw!) and wants to share that with someone who is important and who they love. It was kinda an asshole move to just dismiss that so he could finish a freaking game. op is completely validated in their feelings.

Yea I agree, I’d rather give someone 5 minutes to finish up what they’re doing and give their full attention than half-ass it immediately. Also, I think cell phones have lead to a societal idea that everyone should be able to be contacted all the time, and that’s just not true. Nobody is entitled to contact another person, and everyone has the right to silence. Everyone has a right to enjoy their free time, and if you interrupt their free time, you can give the courtesy to give them a minute

Yea, even if op thinks it’s dumb, she should know he’s somewhat passionate abt it and dismissing it instead of supporting him plays into a lot of red flags

She could have just waited and then told him after, there’d definitely a difference between casual and ranked, but he shouldn’t have to interrupt his fun at a moments notice. I’m happy your boyfriend does that, but it can get exhausting, especially if you call all the time and he wants alone time.

“It can get exhausting” this isn’t even a normal call she literally said she graduated

I’m not talking about OP’s post in this, I’m talking about this person, reading comprehension is important. “If I call” … “he stops playing doesn’t matter what he’s playing atm” this is also very important depending on what game it is too. Idgaf dying in an Elden ring fight, but I’ll try to focus in an online competitive match. I’ll pick up and talk, I do a good job at it but it takes a lot of energy to split focus and hear a game while listening to my phone. Another big reason is, word limit

Continuing, another big reason is that ruining other people’s experience too, that sucks a lot having someone leave a match especially one that’s a lot of fun. You ruin it for your team a lot, and ruin it for the enemy because the game becomes too easy to enjoy. Also, she didn’t graduate, she “finished college” surely he would’ve been there for graduation. Making sure he’s available to call is really important too, me and my girlfriend always text to ask to call. It gives us our space and time.

Crazy how all of this would be solved with, “hey can I call you” also, she “finished college” if she graduated surely he would’ve been there. Expecting people to drop everything for you at a moments notice isn’t realistic. Just because it’s a game doesn’t change that. Communication is the most important thing that she doesn’t have by the sound of it. Me and my girlfriend operate perfectly using the phrase “can I call you”

Dog what? I have been a woman in OPs exact position before, but i don’t get mad. my bf makes sure theres time for me, but i dont demand he make time for me whenever is convenient to me. He literally answered and said congratulations, showing he cared, but communicated that he wasn’t able to give her his full attention at that moment. I feel like that’s pretty solid communication on his end 🤷‍♀️
