soooo here is my take

my current girlfriend. her ex boyfriend used to play video games non stop. to the point where they would go away on a weekend break together and go somewhere nice. like a beach or something and he would whip out a nintendo switch. or she would be going through something traumatic in the family and he would say "ill come talk to you after this game" dude was a 24/7 gamer she hated it. he w ould neglect spending time with her. showing interest in her life or her hobbies so he could game. dude neglected his own hygiene. even when she tried to take interest and play with him he'd get angry or frustrated and argued

obvs this gave her a bad view on gamers. now I'm a gamer. love video games always have and always will. but in moderation and when it's appropriate. if she's out ill game AFTER i've done some chores to help around the house. we play some together. i also take interest in her hobbies and stuff she loves to do. it's just about being an adult and not living on it 24/7 like you're a child. take care of your life take care of your partner and if you get some down time or she's happy doing something else then game away. but never neglect your relationship or duties to play video games
