I’ve been busy with real-life friends and Minecraft to use Lemmy, but now I’m back. I got a new girlfriend, we’ll call her Lexi. I haven’t texted her all day because I can’t find anything to converse with her about and only talk to her in real life when I see her on dates maybe once a week or two weeks. I will occassionally say “hi” to her. I really like Minecraft, and I haven’t answered my girlfriend’s texts all day because first: I was sleeping. Second: I was playing Minecraft. I am obsessed with Minecraft and I would even say I prefer it over real people, including my girlfriend. Considering I love my girlfriend, that’s saying something.

I also rarely think about her. She’s just a person to me despite loving her. Minecraft is on the brain a lot.

    Might wanna evaluate why she’d want to be with you if you prefer Minecraft over her.

    How would you feel if every time you wanted to be with her, she ignored you for something else?

    You sound selfish and it sounds like you need to evaluate your priorities. If you like Minecraft more than human connection, a relationship probably isn’t for you. You’re being unfair to her.

    Congrats on the girlfriend. I’m happy for you <33

    Minecraft is a cool game, but I think you need to communicate with her more. Otherwise, the relationship won’t last. As someone with a girlfriend who LOVES Minecraft, I still make time for her. I feel like you should not treat her as “just a person” if she’s your girlfriend either.

    Communicate with her, tell her you love her but get distracted easily. Don’t gaslight her or anything like that or make some lame excuse.

    You can also ask for a casual relationship and remind her you care. You should still make sure you care about her and that this relationship is something you want because you love her, not because you want a girlfriend.

    Also, text her maybe when you want to play a game so she knows or talk about how you still care and try to slowly wean off the games. Sometimes is okay, but don’t make it all you do.

    Text her!!!

    YTA, btw.

    Is this real? If so, yeah I think you are the asshole, or at least not ready for a girlfriend.

    Uhhh, yea. It sounds like you don’t really like her. I’m not saying a significant other has to be the most important thing, but it sounds like you’re not very interested in her if you can’t even find things to talk about.

    I have friends who are girls that I interact with more often than you do your girlfriend.
