I initially didn't respond to this as it holds a strong reaction for me but I want to add a +1 for Waiting4. Although I think she and I are coming from the same place.

His actions do bother me a little because it seems as though he is very deliberately trying to punish you. Not just in a "I need time" kind of way.

If I remember rightly, doesn't steam have an offline mode? So you can play your games without being online in steam? If you could not see him in your FL it might help a little.
