My gambling on my birthday?

I'm writing this at 12:30 am on my birthday and I'm sadly alone in my bed.

I wanted to hear your opinion on it. My friend and I don't live together yet. Today is my birthday and I wanted to see each other at 00:00 and start my 22nd year together. My friend said he comes to me around 10 p.m. Because he still wants to play Playstation. Would not mind.

Then it was 11 p.m. And he still wasn't there. So I wrote him a message where he was staying and that he wanted to come at 10 p.m. His answer was just that he wanted to play a few more rounds. A couple of laps take over 1 hour. It's half past one now and he's still not there.

I'm just so sad that gambling is really more important than your girlfriend.

We always argue about gambling, but after a while I don't feel like getting upset anymore and accept it that way.

I wonder if I'm overreacting but that really hurts me that you can't even put the controller down on my birthday.

Congratulations

Never rely on other people.

Generally it is not allowed to go out after 8 a.m.

We have been together for 6 years now, gambling only came right about 2 years ago and I don't want to give up the relationship right away, because he's a good friend and I can understand him, we're still young and all his friends play with him and he just doesn't want to miss it… Was in such a phase once in a while. You still have to set limits for him! It's pretty bad on my birthday, he'd never do that to me. But on normal days it often happens that he says he will come and then gamble until dawn… Just think about how the relationship is otherwise, are you happy apart from that, do you often do something, he does too what for you to compensate

Sorry wanted to answer you under your comment habs messed up 😅

You can meet as a couple. And where should you go out now, please? Everything is closed and it's cold

First of all, happy birthday. Looks like your friend is already addicted to gambling. Hardly anything else matters when it comes to addiction. Many even run into extremely high debts and forget everything else about it themselves, eat, sleep, etc. It is also not good for your health to just sit all day long. Always sitting down is more harmful. You could try to talk about it first, also about the fact that it might already be an addiction and something should change, and be it with help. But if nothing works, I would end the relationship.

Happy Birthday 🍾

I would have migraines at least the next 5 times.

That is absolutely disrespectful

Happy birthday and all the best!

I agree with the previous opinions, does not work at all.

If he has not yet started and apologized honestly, it is time to take the necessary steps. Which one is up to you.

And now enjoy your special day, there are guaranteed to be friends and family who will appreciate and pamper you.
