My boyfriend and I started playing path together many years ago, it quickly became our favourite game and each league we would get up early and make a day of it.

With the recent league he has been losing interest more and more in POE and over the last week he has done something absolutely disastrous. He has started playing Old School Runescape. This is a very difficult thing for me to process as I didn’t realise I was dating a 12 year old. I had no idea that his self esteem was so low that he would punish himself in this way. If I am being completely honest, I am completely disgusted by his actions. While previously we would spend romantic evenings together discussing POE build ideas, league mechanics and crafting techniques, now I have to endure him talking about the most efficient way to get to 99 so that he can “finally enjoy the game”. I find that I am much less attracted to him then I once was, and I worry that if this continues our relationship may not survive. As much as I love him, I don’t think I can get over this. I even tried playing OSRS myself but as I found myself suicidal after 15 minutes I don’t think this is a viable option either.

All I can do is plead. Plead to GGG to make this next league the best they possibly can. Please help my boyfriend see the light and save our relationship. Please, he is talking about starting an ironman. Its almost too late.
