Armchair psych:
OP mentioned that their partner has several similar issues that they themselves possess when it comes to RPing with other people. We only have one side of the story, obviously, but what we're hearing is traditional maybe-intentional-maybe-not signs on manipulative behavior: Guilt-tripping someone for not being online for a day, pressure to log-in and RP, pressure to leave current RP because they don't want to be in public, and passive-aggressive challenges followed by logging off of a messenger.
We don't know the reasons for this sort of thing, but I can make my uneducated guesses: OP says they play other games or hang out with other people, so I'd bet my bottom dollar that their partner lacks other people to be able to provide the extra attention. Failing that being the case, it's possible they just prioritize the OP and is effectively playing favorites.
We can't know what the actual situation is, and OP hasn't replied to any of the good advice in this thread despite having checked in on it as people post, so arguing over it is fairly meaningless stance for the time being. The cynic in me just thinks this is attention dollars, too, but the sympathetic part of me thinks that confronting someone you care about regarding their behavior can be scary, since the prospect of losing someone can appear worse than just indulging their shitty habits.
Shit sucks.
