If he's doing this to you now, anything further will nearly be the same, if not in near future but later he will soon be back to playing games, my advice, if he really really wants you, he will do anything to get you, else call it a ditch

Talking to him and letting him know how you are doing, and finding out how he is doing is something that a girlfriend and boyfriend should be doing. His text about working being a bitch is his way of reaching out. Empathize, and try to make him feel better. Often just listening will do the trick.This is one problem with how text messages have permiated our culture. Some things are best when done in a conversation. Good luck. I don't think the game playing is a conscious effort on his part if that helps any.
