Ah yes, the follies of youth (my apologies and condolences if you are both adults). There was a time when video games were my world and hanging out with friends to play was the most I could hope for. Of course, I didn't have a girlfriend at the time. Now that I'm married, I find myself turning off the games to pay more attention to my wife.

You have the right to feel disappointed but you should also try to understand his point of view as well. Since he doesn't see you that often, he must spend most of his free time with those same friends you mention. Now it may seem crass to say things this way but the impact of blowing his friends off versus the impact of blowing you off is much greater due to the relative amounts of time spent with each group. To put it another way, blowing you off will affect the 2 1/2 days he spends with you but blowing his friends off affects the 11 1/2 days he spends with his friends. From that perspective it is easy to see why he does what he does.
