      If one is too shallow to understand that ‘video games’ is a stand-in for a much broader problem, leave them. They are either really fucking stupid, a narcissist, or both.

        Are you able to concieve that video games are a fun and enjoyable hobby?

        Does it occur to you that perhaps a balance can be reached other than ‘100% partner 0% video games’ or ‘0% partner 100% video games’?

        Is it abuse to … not do anything other than exactly what your partner wants, when they want it, or else they will leave you?

        Has it occured to you that… your mindset is the extremist, totally black and white thinking, no room for compromise, the worst possible interpetation is always the assumed default…

        Has it occured to you that that is the abusive mindset?
