AIO for not having anything special for just my boyfriend and I
My boyfriend and I have been together for almost 9 months and I’m starting to feel weird about the fact that we don’t really have anything that feels like “our thing” anymore.
At first we had sushi Wednesdays where we’d go get sushi together every week and it felt special because it was just us. Then eventually he started bringing his friends and now he mostly goes without me.
Recently we were both super excited for Subnautica 2 because we both fully played the first game and I thought it would finally be something we could experience together for the first time. I hadn’t bought it yet because I didn’t have the money right away, but I bought it last night and then he told me he already started a whole world with his friend who never even played the first game. So I kinda just kept my buying it a secret.
And honestly I know this sounds dumb because it’s “just a game” but I’m kind of hurt? I was really excited to discover everything together equally, but now it feels like I’m just going to be trailing behind while he already knows everything. I also kind of hate playing games with people who already know all the mechanics because I start feeling stupid trying to figure things out while they sit there already knowing everything.
I’m not mad that he has friends or plays games with them. Infact he plays with them all of time, even when I’m there, he’ll hang up on call with me, or stop texting me just to play them. I just feel like every time something starts becoming “our thing,” it eventually becomes something he shares with everyone else too. And now I’m realizing we don’t really have anything special that’s just ours outside of sex and sleeping together.
Am I overreacting for being upset about this?
