Gaming still has a massive stigma attached to it and rightly or wrongly, many women consider men who play video games to be losers (even though some of those said women will sit and watch trash TV all evening whilst permanently scrolling through Facebook).
The article doesn’t seem to be entirely accurate but if I’m being honest I could understand anyone wanting a divorce if their partner spent a good chunk of every day being rather irresponsible with their time.
I agree with this. My girlfriend always thinks it's nerdy to sit at a pc and game, especially with a headset on to talk to my friends and game. When I used to argue my case that she spends hours on candy crush, and so has no real weight in what she was saying, it got to the point she stopped playing candy crush to prove a point, but she's back on it now since i never gwme up gaming to do the same. There was a point where all I did want to do was play games and not spend time with my partner but as others said, there were underlying issues with our relationship and gaming was the easiest way to escape out the way and avoid a night arguing.
Everything is okay in moderation. People don't have to enjoy the same things. Gaming does have a stigma of being a socially reclusive, nerdy hobby. My girlfriend has come round loads to me gaming - more so recently. She didn't agree with how much I spent on a VR headset and thought it was a waste of money, but when I argued she went to benidorm this year with the girls and really had no say what I spend my spare money on she didn't say another thing.
She wouldn't even give it a try, still hasn't but after seeing my parents have a go and love it, as well as my sister and also having 3 of my friends round for a VR night shes stopped looking at me so strangely when I use it
