This is something that one woman found out when her boyfriend took offense at her buying a PlayStation 5 for herself. The couple had always enjoyed gaming together on different consoles, and he had mentioned that it would be a nice idea for them to buy a PS5 together so they could share their pastime even more.
In the end, his girlfriend decided to initially buy the console by herself, as she wanted to replace her lagging Nintendo Switch and had enough money in her savings account to do so. She knew that her boyfriend wasn't currently in a financial position to help her, but reasoned that he could pay her back.
This led to a falling out because her boyfriend had wanted them to buy it together. She turned to the internet to ask if she had made a mistake.

Man flips out when girlfriend of 8 months buys a PS5 without him and says it's hers: 'It's mine until he pays half of it'
For many of those in relationships, having a partner that they can share their interests and hobbies with is a matter of importance. What you like to do in your spare time is often a big part of your life, and sharing that with the one you love can be a great bonding exercise. There is a reason people insist on putting pictures of them enjoying their favorite pastimes on dating apps.
However, finding somebody who loves the exact same stuff that you do isn't all cute dates and dream compatibility. Sometimes, it can wind up being a source of conflict when you have different perspectives on a hobby, or one of you is more dedicated to it than the other. If other parts of the relationship aren't as solid as your shared interests, disagreements can arise and make things more difficult. There are many layers to any relationship, and your free time is only one of them.
