Something that's been bothering me in my relationship. My boyfriend is a gamer and has a habit of staying up very late, often playing until dawn. As a result, he sleeps until the afternoon. The time he’s awake, especially in the afternoons, he spends with me, after finishing his chores and giving me attention. But I can’t help feeling concerned about his gaming habits.

A while back, we had an argument about this issue because I felt neglected. He said he’d try to change his schedule and be more mindful of our relationship. Since then, he has made an effort to spend more time with me, which I appreciate. However, now he plays all night, which means he’s still waking up late and the cycle continues.

I understand that gaming is something he enjoys, but I hate that it consumes so much of his time. We've had several arguments about his games, and things improved briefly when he stopped playing for a while. We didn’t argue as much, but recently, he downloaded the game again, and the old habits and arguments have returned.

My question is: am I being controlling or unreasonable for wanting him to limit his playing time? I just want more balance. Sometimes I wonder if asking him to stop or cut back on gaming makes me a bad girlfriend. I don’t want to come across that way, but I also don’t want us to keep arguing over this.
