Why does he do this to me?

    HI I'm new to this forum but am having relationship problems with my boyfriend and I really need help because my friends just don't understand. And I apologize if this is long..
    Well I've been dating him for a bit over 26 weeks, I'm 16 and he's just a bit younger than me, but lately he's changed. He plays and online computer game and I swear he loves that more than me, he's always on it, whenever I call him he's says he has to do something on the game and that we will talk later.
    I thought I would start playing the game, maybe he would talk to me more, but it made it worst. He hardly talks to me, he's always off with other people, most of the time with other girls. He flirts with them and I wonder is it bad that he flirts with girls on the computer? And he ignores me when he does it so it makes me feel worst. All I want is for him to talk to me, but he hardly does anymore.
    Whenever I talked him, over the phone or computer and said I had to go he would say no don't go I really want to talk to you, so I would stay, but now when I say I need to go he's like ok talk to you later.
    I don't know what happened why he changed. But I;m beginning to think he's to obsessed with this computer game. And I'm starting to question if he truly loves me anymore.
    I'm so totally in love with him and couldn't live without him, but is he worth all the tears he makes me cry?
    I'm just sick of him ignoring me
    Even at school, he's to busy with his other friends to notice me..
    I know he's young and all but he can be very mature for his age, and he said he would die for, do anything for me, he would die without me, and that he will love me always..
    I just wish he could see what he was doing to me..
    Thank you if you read all this I know its long..
    Any help you can give me is greatly appreciated.

    I think this computer game is his way of relaxing, and sometimes, adverting problems in reality. If his flirting is really bugging you, you need to bring it up with him. Also, you may want to sit him down and just talk to him. Tell him that you are feeling sort of neglected. Ask him how he is feeling about you, whether he still feels the same way.

    Yea your right..I should try and talk to him, but I'm to scared..I'm afraid of how he will react..And I've tried..twice..first time we got into an argument and then he just didn't talk for awhile and when he decided to talk, he didn't talk about it..the second time he just changed the subject..so I don't know how well a talk with him is going to go..

    My boyfriend is exactly the same way, or has been in the past. He says that the game is his way of hanging out with his friends- although I can't figure out why he wouldn't just actually go hang out with them. Honestly, I doubt he realizes how much he's hurting you, because I know my boyfriend doesn't usually have a clue.

    Now, for me personally, things have gotten a lot better. But not until they got way worse. He left me for the game on the one day that I really, really needed him, and this was after we'd been dating for a year and a half. I forgave him, but I think it was a real eye-opener for him.

    I guess what I'm saying is, that I let the situation really drag itself out before I made it clear that I had an issue with the game. You need to tell him now. You've been with him about six months? I wouldn't let it go any further without having a serious talk about it. In my case, it went for a year and a half until I sat him down and we talked about it for about four hours. I don't recommend putting it off any longer. As hard as it is to bring it up, I'm sure you already know it hurts more to lose to a game constantly.

    He might get upset, he might say what you want to hear, he might not care, or he might actually put an effort into leaving some time for your relationship. If this is the end of things, then it's better to find out now before you get hurt anymore, and if this is actually going to be a lasting relationship then you might as well start making it worth lasting.

    Good luck, seriously. Things have changed dramatically with my boyfriend over the last little while, so there is a definite chance for you and yours. Take care.

    I think that you need to talk to him and tell him exactly how you feel, because if you keep it all in then it is only going to make you sick. Also it is going to make your relationship worse with him because you are not communicating.

    Thanks heaps all. Your all right..I will talk to him next time I see him, which will be in 2 days. I can't put it off any longer because it's driving me to tears and I hate. And talking bout it will help. Thank you so much and I don' t think I would have ever had the courage to talk him if it wasn't for all of you. Thank You!

    I think that it will be a good thing for u 2 to sit down and talk even if he dont want to you could even write a note to him i went tru the same thing but it wasnt a game so try ethir talking or writing to him it might be hard but it has to be done if u want to try and save ur realtionship with him

    You are only 16 U shouldnt be worried.. Dont let this get too u.. I promise u this wont be the only guy u are ever with u are 16 u have alot of years ahwead of u and he is younger than u so I know u wont be the only person he is with let this be a learning experince and let it make u stronger so in the future u wont let no one else walk on u and u will know how to handle issuse like thins.. Gurl put ur foot down u are better than this.. If he wants to firlt with others gurls filrt with other guys dont let him do u wrong.. how he acts u may just need to move on and get u someone on the side so when things do come too an end u will have an back up and someone there for u.
