My bf wants to get back into WOW and I don’t know if I should agree to it.

My bf (25M) and I (25F) have been together for 4 months now. He has recently started expressing to me how much he loved playing WOW for years and hated how his ex made his quit. He has been talking about the new expansion coming out and asking me if he could join a guild (group) and start playing/raiding with them a few days out of the week. He also mentioned that other than those days that he is going to play with them, he would also need time to grind things for his character to stay caught up with everyone else on the team.

He is asking me if I would be okay with that and honestly I don’t know if I should agree or not. One on hand, I would love for him to do something that he loves and see how happy it would make him knowing how much he loves it. But, on the other hand I’m afraid it would ruin our relationship. He himself is telling me that he really wants to do it but is afraid of how he might get addicted to it (because he has a history of doing so as he phrased it himself). And I’ve also seen so many stories on Reddit talking about how the bf’s addiction to WOW totally ruined their relationship and I wouldn’t want that to happen to us.

I also don’t want to tell him that I am okay with it and then change my mind because it would just not be fair for me to let him commit to a team and get back into the game just to take it away from him. But at the same time I don’t want to not tell him how I feel if he got too addicted to it and then end up killing the relationship by not sharing how I feel.

What should I do?

TL;DR My bf wants to get back into playing WOW but I am afraid of him getting too addicted and ruining our relationship.

Boyfriend decided to take me with him on partners-included team building weekend

I am wondering whether I should be suspicious about my [24F] boyfriend [32M] having decided to not take me with him on team building weekend although his colleagues decided at the beginning that it would be a partners-included weekend. 3 out of 4 of his colleagues are there with their partner, the partner of the one colleague who is also alone couldn’t join them because he is abroad.

When we had the discussion about whether I should accompany him or not, he told me that he would rather go alone since this is the first time he is going to meet his teammates in person (he works remote) and he wants to focus on them and have uninterrupted time with them during the weekend.

He’s there now and I feel a bit hurt about him deciding to not take me with him. I am also wondering whether I should be suspicious about his decision and worry that the reasons he gave me are not genuine. Is it reasonable to not want to include your partner in such an activity even if is a partners-included event?

Tl;dr: partner decided to exclude me from team building weekend although the majority of his colleagues are accompanied by their partners. Should I be worried?

LE: up until May, it was a fixed decision that we would go together. He changed his mind this month after having had some conflict with his colleagues at work. He impulsively decided that he wants to thread the situation carefully and spend time alone with them in order to repair any damage that might have been done.

My(f21) boyfriend(m21) has really strict parents. How do I help him feel less stressed?

Me and my boyfriend have been dating for 8 months and met at our university. I'm not sure if this is relevant info but I'm latina and he's asian. I have strict parents too, but they're just not as strict as his imo. I feel sort of bad for him because his parents expect him to do everything. he said it's always been that way since he can remember, but he has a younger sister who's 19 and his parents expect my boyfriend to do everything for her and for them. like he always has to drive her around everywhere just because she doesn't feel like driving. and his parents only expect him to clean the house and do the cooking and chores. his sister does help out sometimes, but the majority of times he does everything. I get it might be because he's the oldest...he said his parents always do everything his sister wants. they don't allow him to really hang out with me. and we only get to see each other once a week and for a few hours on that chosen day. because his mom says why does he need to see me more than once a week. but yet they let his sister go out whenever she wants, and as many times as she wants a week. and he's told me how when he graduates his parents still expect him to send money to them and help with his sisters education because it's "his responsibility". now don't get me wrong, of course I think it's good that he helps out his parents and sister when he can, he's a great guy. but I feel like so much responsibility is put on him, that shouldn't be. I do understand about his parents needing help with certain things, because I also have immigrant parents. there's a lot more, but I'm not going to go into too much detail. I'm not sure how to help him. he has trouble talking about his feelings with me because he said it's not something he's ever learned to do. and I really love him and care for him. I just want him to open up more and know that im there for him. please help it would mean everything <3.

TL;DR! - my boyfriend has really strict parents who expect him to do everything for them and I need help on how to be there for him and make him feel less stressed.

Boyfriend doesn’t seem to be attracted to me anymore and it’s very hurtful

Hello everybody! I apologize if I make any mistakes while trying to communicate in English, since it’s not my native language.

I (f28) am in a long term relationship (6 years) with my boyfriend (m26). We are living together and he is supportive to me. Marriage and children are in the plans. Or they were in the plans, since our relationship have been changing lately.

There’s a lack of intimacy between us. He seems to be losing interest in sex, although I often try to initiate it. It’s very hurtful to think that he isn’t attracted to me anymore. Other guys try to flirt with me though but I’m not interested in any of them.

We’ve gotten into a routine, like we’re just best friends. After work at the end of the day he spends his free time playing online games. There’s a girl in his game group he meets online often. He is always talking to her, sharing confidences, or even talking about our relationship (even personal things about me which I would like to be private). He is open to me about it.

I feel lonely and like I'm not a priority. I don't want to misjudge or to be toxic to him or the girl, but I can’t stop think he is having an emotional affair. Should I be concerned about it? How to deal with it?

I always had trouble connecting with other people, it takes me a lot of time and efforf to strengthen love and friendship bonds. And I value my time with him, we’ve been through so much together. That’s why it’s so difficult to know what should I do in this situation .

Thanks to everyone who can read and help.

tl;dr: Boyfriend doesn't seem to be attracted to me anymore. He is losing interest in sex. I think he is becoming attached to someone else. I don’t know how to deal with this situation.

Question that I shouldn’t be asking.

Me (22) and my gf (20) broke up due to multiple red flags on her part. I really liked this girl, but knew I had to move on. However, I want her to realize what she’s done and try to change.

Since talking it through did not work, what is the best way to make her truly feel my absence from her life and hopefully make her make a change and come back into my life as a healthier and better potential girlfriend?

Tldr: broke up with my gf because of a few issues. I want her to change and come back to me, what’s the best way to make her feel she has messed up?
