Two hours a week is nothing! I don't consider myself a gamer at all, but I definitely spend more time than that tending to my island on Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

She cares more about maintaining her negative perception of gaming that our protagonist's mental health. This is definitely not a long-term partner.

26-year-old demands that 33-year-old boyfriend give up video games completely despite only playing 2 hours a week, he stops for a month before standing his ground: "I'm not asking to play for 10 hours a day"
For some reason, video games get kind of a bad rap. Many women consider the hobby to be something of a red flag; they think that if their partner is interested in gaming, it is a sign of immaturity. Now, barring some extreme cases where excessively playing games has led people to neglect their hygiene, social relationships, and finances, it isn't really fair to make these sorts of assumptions about people based on their affinity for video games. There are plenty of games out there that are not meant for children — and I don't just mean the ones rated M for Mature. There are beautifully-crafted games with complex story lines, thought-provoking themes, and gorgeous artwork.
In our story today, a young man who gets major peace of mind from his hectic life through gaming just 2 hours a week, finds himself facing the worst ultimatum from his girlfriend: stop gaming or be single. He gives it a shot for a month, but he finds that without his hobby, his mental health deteriorates.
