I bet she uses Insta, FB, Twatter and TikTok.

If your significant other is trying to dictate how you partake in your hobby then that person needs to no longer be your significant other. The point of having such a person in your life is that they make you happy and leave you fulfilled as a person. They are not supposed to limit you or dictate to you how you live your life.


There is a reason why they are called "Partners" and not "Owners".

This. I have 4 major hobbies in my life. I love to build and paint miniatures and engage in war games, I love to play and collect video games, I love to study natural sciences and history (and even made it my career), and I love to travel just to chill out in nature.

I have had 3 ex-SO’s who all pushed me to stop doing all these. The first caused me to gain 150 lbs as she constantly refused to travel and made me feel guilty about even thinking about going out to hike or exercise. The second tried to sell all my games. The third and most recent smashed my 400 dollar Chaos Knight that I meticulously spent over 100 hours painting.

It is always better to be alone and happy doing what you love than in a relationship and being miserable, unable to do what makes you happy.

you should always take care of yourself first, those people you've been with sound toxic as fuck, glad you're not with them anymore.

The real question is how come Guitar Hero was never made backwards compatible? Some Master of Pupplets DLC would probably light the charts up right now if it was released.

Some important details missing. But she certainly SOUNDS controlling as fuck, which would be enough for me to bail. Ain't nobody got time for that shit.

I dare to posit: Could it be that these missing details would be detrimental to the writer's argument? No...no...The Guardian would never permit bias like that in their content.

Thanks. Focused more on my self overtime and my career/hobbies. Someday the right person will come along, but I am not going to feel like I *need* to be in some relationship to be happy anymore. I got my dog, my hobbies, a great and burgeoning career. My life is so much better when I don’t need to feel like I have to change and be the only one working at trying to make a relationship work.

I dated a girl in college that was really serious. She told me that the games would be the first thing to go after we got married. It didn’t last long after that.
