I met my ex-partner at a disco. My friends and I went to the disco every weekend and played a lot. Of course we already had cell phones and we also looked for partners online. I think it\’s great to meet people online, it\’s very popular these days and it\’s everywhere. This makes me very sad because I used to love going out with friends and talking face to face. But my friends who had partners before me always stayed at home with me.

And sometimes we would meet up on Skype or do video calls together. That\’s cool too. Later, when I found my partner at a disco, he confided in me that he played various computer games professionally. I was quite intrigued. He also taught me how to play various computer games. I just didn\’t know that my partner was that into computer games and that he was a computer addict who spent about 10 hours a day on the computer. When he came home from work, he would sit at the computer and stay there until morning, many times sleepily going to work, and when he came home from work he was grumpy and very uncomfortable.

I endured this for two years. And then I realized there was no point anymore. I told myself that there was no future in this relationship at all and that I would rather be alone than be with someone who was addicted to computer games and spent all his time online. My partner was playing such online games. He told me that I could not actually leave, that I could not rest. Of course I understand what online games are like, but on the other hand I also understand that he was making money. But I wasn\’t as into online games as he was, and I wasn\’t as immersed in them, so we had to break up.
