So my boyfriend is really unhappy with his job right now. It seems to be draining him and he feels unfulfilled. He has even started "working from home" more recently, mostly to play Destiny.
He says it's the only way he can connect with guy friends. He says it doesn't give him a dopamine boost (like I have read and explained to him) he said he doesn't even enjoy it much he is just depressed and it's an outlet.
I've been trying my best to be patient with him and understanding of this phase. But unfortunately it is seeming less and less of a phase and more of a way of life.
Tonight was really telling. Our daughter jumped on the bed and broke it. He became angry with her, mostly (it seemed to me) because he had to stop gaming in order to fix it. She is 6 and his anger was terrifying to her. I felt really bad for her, and it shouldn't have happened this way.
Then to make matters worse, I wake up at 2:30am to him playing the game and being completely absorbed.
He is ignoring our family, our children, I feel that it will only continue (if not worsen) when I have our third child. He has no interest in helping out with our 2 little ones now.
Honestly, I would leave if I could, but I am not in the position to financially, being 38 weeks pregnant and with no vehicle of my own.
At a loss...
