Well, this relationship sure sounds healthy!

In case you didn’t pick up on it, that was SARCASM, my friends…

Because this sounds brutal!

Did this woman treat her boyfriend badly because she wasn’t constantly in touch with him while she was playing games with her friend?

Read her story and see what you think!

AITA for not texting my boyfriend much during family game night?

“I (F33) have a family tradition where we gather every Friday to play board games. This day was specifically chosen because, in conversations with my boyfriend, we agreed it would help us plan our week better without any schedule conflicts.

This past Friday, we had a last-minute realization that it was my cousin’s birthday, so I quickly organized a small celebration with cake.

During the four hours I spent with my family celebrating my cousin’s birthday and playing board games, I sent my boyfriend (M37) a total of eight messages, including a video and a photo, to keep him in the loop.

It sounds like a good idea to me…

I don’t like to be on my phone texting or talking while spending time with family, as I believe it’s impolite. When I’m with my boyfriend, I also put my phone away unless he leaves the room, and I can scroll through it without interrupting our time together.

My boyfriend was invited to join us for game night, but he couldn’t make it because he had his own family gathering, as his sister’s family was leaving for a couple of weeks and she would be out of town for her birthday, this was also organized last moment and initially he expressed the desire to go see his family first and then come to play with us, but he couldn’t and it’s very understandable. I was happy he is spending time with his family.

Oh, boy…

When I finally spoke with him after the game night ended and I was on my way to see him, he expressed that he was upset that I hadn’t reached out more during that time and he doesn’t feel prioritized.

I think it’s normal to spend an evening without texting while I’m at home with my family; it’s not like I was out at a nightclub. I believe that people in relationships can spend some time apart without feeling guilty. If the roles were reversed, I would be happy for him, knowing he was enjoying time with his family, and I wouldn’t expect him to text me every 20-30 minutes.

From the beginning of our relationship, our communication expectations have been different, and while we’ve fought about it, I’ve done my best to adjust my style to meet his expectations over the past two years. That’s why I still made an effort to text him during those four hours.

I don’t want to invalidate his feelings, but I also feel that my values and needs are not being respected since family time is important to me. I’m still questioning whether I might be the ******* for not meeting his expectations, especially considering I have an avoidant attachment style.

AITA for not texting him more during our family game night?”

Her boyfriend sounds like he’s a bit of a baby, if we’re being honest.
