She’s Threatening To Dump Her Boyfriend Unless He Lets Her Continue Playing Video Games, Which Are Her Favorite Hobby
This 33-year-old woman claims that, ever since she was a kid, she has always been a geek and a “big nerd.”
Her favorite hobbies still include watching animated series and playing video games, which she plays for about two hours each day.
“Up to four hours if everything else is taken care of and my schedule is completely open,” she clarified.
Her 35-year-old boyfriend, on the other hand, is not into video games at all. Instead, he’s interested in more “conventional” hobbies for someone his age, and she has nothing against that, either.
However, her boyfriend is always bothered by her hobbies because he thinks that they are childish. So, he is constantly trying to get her interested in more conventional pastimes.
“Which has become kind of a nuisance already, despite how much I like him,” she admitted.
To be clear, she regards herself as a “functional” adult. She has a job and her own apartment, and she pays her own bills. She also exercises for about an hour every single day.
She just happens to be an adult who enjoys hobbies that many people believe are for people of younger ages. And her boyfriend just can’t seem to understand that.
So, they recently got into yet another argument about her hobbies.

“And I ended up telling him that I would sooner end our relationship than stop enjoying the things I like. And I meant it,” she revealed.
However, she has since confided in a few friends about the situation, and some of them actually agreed with her boyfriend that she shouldn’t spend so much time gaming.
She admitted that she does spend a lot of time online, and sometimes, she even declines invitations to social outings just to stay at home.
“Since I am a very introverted person. So, I’m not sure if I’m completely right or if I should think through this better,” she vented.
That’s why she is now wondering whether threatening to dump her boyfriend if he doesn’t let her enjoy her video games was really the right way to handle the argument or not.
Do you think playing video games as an adult is okay as long as other necessary responsibilities are fulfilled? Does it sound like video games are hindering her life or not? Does it seem like she and her boyfriend are compatible? Should they stay together?
