    I’ve never had a partner who a) didn’t have their own hobbies and got upset at mine, or b) didn’t play video games at all.

    I think this is just a mismatched couple thing, rather than men vs women.

      My partner and I both enjoy video games, but I def enjoy them WAY more. It is possible for me to play video games too much, to the detriment of my relationship with my partner. There is also an element of “we want to spend time together but we don’t want to play the same game”. Idk, I guess my point is, it’s not a black-and-white thing. There’s a lot of daylight between “couples that game together all the time” and “mismatched couples”.

        Oh yeah, my partner and I don’t play games together very much at all, I just mean that if your partner is actively opposed to your hobbies, that’s a problem.
