People have this image in their heads of 'gamers', and how they must behave in a relationship. It is as if they assume that unless both of the people in the relationship are into video games, it cannot possibly work between them. If one is a gamer and one is not, the gamer surely is not a great partner, right? They must spend all their free time in front of their PC, and they must neglect their non-gamer partner who just wants to be cared for and loved…
Well, let me let you in on a secret–gaming, just like any other hobby, is all about moderation. If you care about your partner, and your partner cares about you, you will not have any problem finding a middle ground that works best and makes everyone happy.
You can decide on days when each of you does their own thing, allowing you both to invest in your personal hobbies. You can agree on a certain amount of daily hours to have for video games, or even agree that gaming only happens after your partner goes to bed. Nothing is impossible when support and love are there, which is exactly the lesson the couple in the story below should learn.
