I honestly don’t see how the average working class adult find that time. I feel like gaming is a luxury for rich/middle-class teens.

    No kids here. Last night as we were falling asleep my partner said, “I really need to play Counter Strike tomorrow.” I fully respect that.

      Blessed be you. I wish personal space wasn’t such a controversial thing inside of a relationship.

        It’s not, that’s a you and your partner thing. Healthy relationships have space for independence and personal hobbies in them.

        I think my best advice is just to talk about it. Bring up that you want to play more video games, but it’s hard because you want to spend time with your partner, too. I’m sure my feelings were hurt at first, but I realized it wasn’t about me. Make it about you and not about them. Do you have your own space in the house? That is also really helpful.
