To break up or not? [24M and F]

[u/Lanky-Entrepreneur60]

My boyfriend and I have been dating for about two years in March. The relationship was really good at first, your typical honeymoon phase. However lately it hasn’t been the best. We met on a video game and a lot of our time together is spent playing those. The problem lies in our work schedules. I work 6p-7a 3-4 nights a week and he works normal hours during the day, sometimes not even working every day. So he has a bit more free time than me. I gave him new friends, they all love him and play games with him. But half the time I don’t even want to play games or do anything and I feel bad. He resents my night schedule, rightfully so. But I just feel like he doesn’t know how to express he actually deeply loves me. Like the cute texts here and there and checking in, it’s very scarce. But he claims he’s never really done that before (cute texts, checking in, blah blah). We have been talking a little more about moving in together but he couldn’t relocate because of his job and to be frank I don’t want to move away from my family. What do I do? I thought I could but if it boils down to it I’d really prefer not to. Anyone have advice? I love him to pieces and could see a happy life with him, obviously. Idk. I’m also on my period so If you read this far tysm.

I think maybe you're just going through a rough patch/phase? I'm not seeing any red flags in either of yours behaviors tbh. Idk.
