My Boyfriend Is Obsessed With Video Games

I've been with a boy for about 10 months now he's very sweet and lovely and all that good shit but he's obsessed with video games and doesn't pay attention to me we don't live together so our main way of communication is via phone he never texts and he never calls I initiate everything and when I do he's distracted with his game so it takes a little time in between every response and the conversations are half assed he plays his games with friends while on discord calls with them every day multiple hours on end and when I ask to call he stands me up for hours at a time so we can call when he's done with his friends and when we do finally call it's at late hours so we're only calling for like 40 minutes before he leaves because he's tired i've talked to him about how I feel with him prioritizing his games and friends (who he's never met btw) over me and how it makes me feel but he doesn't care because the same issue keeps coming up.

Am I being melodramatic? or is this a genuine issue we may have to break up for?

i don't think you're being melodramatic... like, if that happened to me, i'd try to talk to him about how i feel, but if he doesn't do anything to change or whatever, i'd reconsider still being with him...

no yure not being melodramatic, my ex-boyfriend was like that too, thats why he is EX, well, he was nice, but he was killing himself, and i was trying to "save" him, i always was asking if he have eated, sleeped, and that was makying me really tired. Well, my point is, dont wear yourself out if the other person dont give a shit

you deserve way better dude you seem like an amazing person and you dont deserve to be treated like you just arent there yknow? if he doesnt care about you expressing how you feel about him and his gaming addiction then he just isnt worth it. its best to end it now before it gets really bad wish you the best of luck

No, you are not being melodramatic, and you deserve better. He is not treating you well, you've communicated your feelings about it, and he's ignored that. TBH, at this point it sounds like he needs professional help from a therapist for his gaming addiction, and yeah this relationship probably isn't going to work out.
Best of luck. :/
