I've been in a relationship with my girlfriend for about six years, starting back in college. We’ve both been gamers since the beginning, and for a long time, we were pretty much addicted to gaming together. Over the years, we had arguments, but we eventually got better at understanding each other. However, as time passed, I started playing games less and less, while my girlfriend has continued gaming nonstop.

Lately, I've been struggling with her spending so much time on Overwatch 2. We’ve had several incidents where she’s crossed boundaries, like talking to other guys inappropriately. On top of that, I feel like she’s been distant—she’s constantly texting her male gamer friends and avoids talking to me. Most days, she plays so much that we barely see each other, even though we live in the same house. The only time we cross paths is if I enter the living room or when she’s ready to come to bed. I'm really not sure how to handle this situation anymore.

You obviously liked each other because you shared the same hobby for gaming. And since you slowly lost that hobby, which you both fell in love with each other for, I think she might've fallen out of love with you. She talks to her gamemates more because that's hee hobby and you aren't there to play with her anymore, making her neglect you. I'm not blaming you for not liking to play games anymore, it's just how life is, I'm sorry that you had to go through that though. I know it must've been sad to see your lover talk to other people more than you.
