I agree with Tinyrabbit that showing rather than saying is not necessarily a bad thing. Both present together are probably best, but if I were to choose one or the other, I would choose showing.

The problem is that he does NOT show it. If he cannot move the game, he prefers the game.

From Wikipedia: "Revealed preference theory, pioneered by American economist Paul Samuelson, is a method for comparing the influence of policies on consumer behavior. These models assume that the preferences of consumers can be revealed by their purchasing habits."
Revealed preference - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

So your boyfriend's preferences, according to this theory, are revealed via how he chooses to spend his Saturdays.
