Boyfriend/girlfriend or games?

When you like to play games, a lot, then your boyfriend or girlfriend might not be so happy with that (unless they like games just as much as you and love playing games with you). This can lead to some unpleasant arguments that sometimes lead to a break up. It's not always that extreme but sometimes people don't understand why you like games or you spend more time on games then on your boyfriend or girlfriend which makes him or her unhappy.


Games are important?


To some people they are, especially when you spend a big part of the day playing games. It's not surprising to then realize that games are important to you and that they play a big part in your life, so when someone else tries to be a part of your life then he or she might feel like he or she has to compete with these games. I'm not saying that this is all the fault of the gamer, because if you like playing games then your boyfriend or girlfriend will have to accept that. But that doesn't mean that it's all about you and what you like to do. In a relationship it's about both of you and so you share interests and sometimes do something you like and then other times you do things your boyfriend or girlfriend likes.


What to do when my boyfriend/girlfriends wants me to give up on games?


I've heard stories about this, people that are forced to give up on games because the boyfriend or girlfriend hates them and want you to give them up. I say fuck people that want to take away something you like, if they can't accept that you like something then they should find someone else. This might be harsh but ask yourself, do you want to spend your life with someone that can't accept you for who you are and forces you to change into someone you're not? Of course it's reasonable if your boyfriend or girlfriend wants to spend more time with you, which means spending less time playing games. Because you can't expect someone that doesn't like playing games or isn't really into games to spend just as much time on that as you.


Do you really have to choose?


I don't think so, there are a lot of ways to compensate where you play a bit less and your boyfriend or girlfriend shows some more interest in your hobby. Nothing forceful though, just some friendly game time where you play together for fun. In a relationship it's about finding a way forward together, it's not about one person getting what he or she wants. You can always try to show your boyfriend or girlfriend what makes playing games so much fun for you, hopefully they'll understand but if they don't then that doesn't automaticly mean that it's not going to work out. If you both love eachother and want to be together then there should be ways to do that and without you having to give up on games. I think someone that wants you to give up on something you like isn't good for you anyway, because if you really care about someone then you take someone as he or she is and don't try to change that person!
