I like how there's 2 ways people read into this:

1. Empath boyfriend ignores girlfriend's suffering
2. Empath boyfriend acknowledges feelings, and gives her space and time to process. Doesn't hover trying to "fix" the "bad" feelings.

Ah…I read this as in he will play something so she can watch, which is really calming/distracting. 

I really like watching people play video games like RPGs or FPS games. It’s really entertaining for me to experience the game without the stress or focus required to play it. 

When I have a super stressful day at work, I love watching my BF play something and snack on something to unwind. I play also, but sometimes I’m so emotionally and mentally drained that I can’t summon the energy even if I do want to play.
