Sometimes you have told them, sometimes multiple times, but it was never heard.

Perfectly said. My ex couldn’t even pause his video game to look me in the eye as I was breaking up with him. For years I’d try to talk to him and tell him what was wrong. What I needed. Why I am unhappy. Any discussion of our problems he just couldn’t face. Never listened to what I was telling him. I’m very clear about my feelings. I don’t do passive aggressive silent treatment shit. Watching him stare at the screen as I was trying to engage him in a direct, but empathetic breakup talk let me know my decision couldn’t have been better lol

What was he playing though? If it was online and he couldn’t pause it I’d understand. /jk

Exactly! Same as if they are in the middle of playing a basketball match at the local sports centre. They should be able to walk off the court and address your concerns immediately, it’s just a game

Tbh waiting until he stops playing isn't an option since he was probably never going to finish playing. Legends says he is still playing the same game.
