The thing about Morrowind for me was that it was so completely alien. It wasn’t just more sword and sorcery in the British countryside but instead unleashed ridiculous magic where people lived in giant shells/mushrooms and the fauna was like nothing I had ever seen. To say nothing of the mechanics which I found more engrossing than the follow on games.
And then you get to Oblivion and Skyrim and they’re Britain and Norway. Cool.
I’m sorry you went through that. The way he treated you is 100% not okay. Your boyfriend appears to be lacking a reasonable level of empathy and EQ. It’s likely to only get worse. It may not be quite on the nose but google the acronym DARVO.
If he were a half-decent person he’d apologize to you regardless of how he felt—that’s what people do when they respect you and give a shit.
As for your friends who thought you should have dealt with that… get some friends with some fucking empathy. That’s not how people treat each other when they care.
Again, sorry you went through that. It’s shitty.
