Is it appropriate to game for 3 hours when your partner is over?

I'm over at my boyfriend's right now and noticeably upset because he asked if he could game for a "little bit" which turned into damn near 3 hours. I'm giving him the cold shoulder because I'm afraid of saying something out of line. I feel like that's too long to play when I'm over but not sure if this is normal and if I should just deal with it.

Mind you, I don't care about gaming and he knows that. So playing WITH him is not an option.

Three hours is way more than a little bit. I'd say 30 minutes is the upper limit for appropriateness, especially if you don't have anything else you're doing, and you're not playing together.

I mean, what's the point in being there if you're not interacting for that long?

Clearly he doesn’t care about you. And clearly you shouldn’t care about him.

3 hours is nothing especially if he's on a multiplayer game, you'd spend half that time waiting for matches to begin.

What you need to do in your relationship is tell him it bothered you because you have an expectation of what a little bit means. Then you need to tell him he has to be clear about his intentions in the future

That's all messed up. If it was something you were doing together it would be fine.

Honestly it would be fine if you were living together and you both had something to do.

.. but it's neither of those things. You're there to see him, if he wanted to game you could've stayed home.

what was the plan? cuase you have a right to be upset if the 3 hrs ruined plans if there was no plan then i dont think the anger is justified

As a hardcore gamer I can say for sure, nah that's just being a dick
Half hours one thing, it can happen alot but 3 hours is ridiculous
