26-year-old man misses long-distance girlfriend's arrival at airport, she breaks up with him for prioritizing gaming over her visit: "[He] couldn't even set an alarm after I crossed the country to see him"

Maintaining a long-term, long-distance relationship is incredibly difficult. You go through the same trials and tribulations as normal couples, but with very few of the benefits. It's a lot harder to work through an argument with a face on a screen that can just hang up on you when things get too tense than with a real person in front of you. Even when you're feeling confident with your LDR, it can sometimes feel like there's very little to show for all of the hard work, love, and effort when there is no one physically by your side.

The best thing you can do in an LDR is plan to meet in real life. Seeing your partner after weeks or months can completely reinvigorate a long distance relationship, giving both partners the strength to continue. In our story today, our protagonist plans to meet with her boyfriend. Despite all of the happy planning and promises, he essentially ghosts her the day of. When she asks for an explanation, he says he gamed a little too hard and forgot to set an alarm.

Our protagonist didn't explain what else happened during the week that made her consider breaking up. However, his behavior at the start of their week together is more than enough to warrant an end to the relationship.
