Have you or anyone you know given up something they love seemingly out of the blue?

Well, my partner just did.

And it’s with gaming.

When This Happened

A few weeks ago.

And it was, initially, a shock for me.

What Happened

I won’t go into specifics here, but it boiled down to him losing the intrinsic joy he used to have from gaming.

There was some cliquish bullshit going on within our gaming group, specifically with one person.

And he eventually got fed up with it, saying it felt like clocking out of work only to clock into gaming.

He’s still friends with them, as he deeply cares for them. He just couldn’t deal with the drama anymore.

How I Initially Took the News

I won’t lie and pretend I was happy with the decision. In fact, I cried on and off for a couple of days over this.
