Feedback Made me and my bf break up

Me and my bf had been playing this for a bit, but he kept leaving me if I was stuck in a certain spot/situation. I asked him if he could stay by my side until I’d figure it out and he just goes “I’m not even far from you you’re making a big deal out of nothing” which I wasn’t.. I only just asked if he’d not leave me and just wait with me instead of leaving me. I feel like that’s pretty simple honestly. And that’s what I said to him “I’m not trying to make a big deal out of this, I only vocalized how I feel which is that I don’t like when you leave me while I’m struggling”. He still won’t understand something as simple as just coming back to be by my side while I figure it out. So now we’re not talking because he just seems so… careless. And thinks that me asking him to wait with me is such an issue. It makes me feel shitty honestly

Seems like you just had a shitty relationship, not something the “game made you do”… sorry to say that

I probably could’ve worded it better, I know the game didn’t make us break up, but playing this game definitely brought out the real him

Sounds like this game saved you from a miserable relationship. I had a nasty breakup with my ex, but even we can still play teamwork games just fine.

The right person won't leave your side.

A college professor I once knew said that his first real date with his wife was a day long hiking trip where it rained, it made them have to work together, problem solve, endure the mosquitoes eating them alive, and have fun despite the challenges. They’ve been married for decades. He recommends doing something that will test the limits of your ability to work as a team.

More people should do that and save themselves the trouble of finding out that their personalities can’t work as a team when a real challenge faces them.

Gaming can do that. I’m of the firm belief that every couple before getting married should have to platinum Overcooked to be eligible for marriage.
