Why wear a ribbon?

MDJunction to me

MissNikkiAnn"When you have an illness with the name "Non-Familial Dysautonomia" (a name that most people, and even doctors, have never heard of), you need a network
of people who understand the name and the symptoms/issues that come with it.
MDJunction led me to that network of people during a very confusing and sickly time. For this I am thankful. And for this reason I try my best to give back to other members the same care and help that I received through MDJunction.

Wow this group is amazing!!!! My bf and I have been together for a year now and yes, we met online. There was a short period in my life where I was at home, and while the kids were at school, I would be on the internet. It was never a need for me, just boredom. I knew my bf was a gamer,and for quite awhile his gaming, streaming, voice chatting, movie watching, urban dictionary looking was at least somewhat reasonable. Now, I will give you his day.. 2PM wake up. Restroom, smoke, all while on the phone playing internet games. Onto the computer. He will get off intermittently, again for the same reasons. He will spend about 15 minutes taking out the garbage, etc. Eats at the computer.. w/ headphones on mind you. When he smokes cigarettes, he "talks" to me while he plays the game on the phone. He goes to bed at about 2 AM. I have tried to have reasonable discussions w/ him. I am not angry, I am worried. If I approach him (he's a very quiet person generally) he explodes and threatens to leave me. Says he does clean, talk to me etc. I have 3 kids. We have to help my mom out and I work. The most devastating part tho is when he forgets me. I will ask him when he has free time to talk to me or do something w/ me. He will say he wants to, and at 2am when he's coming to bed w/ out a care in the world, I am dying inside b/c I don't mean as much to him as a computer. I know he loves me and I love him, but I am afraid I am going to look at his chair one day, he will be gone and he will be living inside his computer.. like I'm afraid he already is. I'm in it for the long haul so any advice would sure be appreciated.

Thanks

Going crazy... made a deal the other day that he would spend some type of time w/ me btwn 9pm and 11pm. I never said a word, second nite in a row he has "forgotten". I tell him twice that it is after 11.. he doesn't even hear me at all. He knows I'm pissed but he's still laughing and joking w/ people on vent. LOUDLY and we are staying at my mom's right now.. he's so rude. Kids and mom are sleeping. Typing this so it doesn't turn into a huge argument AGAIN tonite. He will just say he's going to leave anyway b/c I make him feel like a selfish piece of crap. I don't mind if he plays the computer. I start minding when the computer comes first Sad.
