I'm sure he's devastated that his ex's friends are supporting her.

It depends on the more on what is at stake more than just the ultimatum. Get sober or get out is very different than stop your hobby or get out. No matter how you try to get someone to give up their running club, it's probably an abusive move.

So I'm a woman and I play a lot of games. But I don't disregard my other responsibilities over games.

I dated a guy gamer many years back and he played literally every single day for at least 4 hours usually more.

Mostly in the evenings. Most of the day on his days off. But he definitely would make excuses why he couldn't help me with things all the time just to go and play games instead.

I sure would have liked to be able to fuck around all the time too but things have to be done.

He basically lived with me so it was frustrating to always be cleaning up after him because he just played games in all of his free time whereas I had to clean and do my studies when I wasn't working. And the little free time I had to maybe go out and do something, he just wanted to play games.

Idk if I would call it addiction. But he just prioritized it over time with me. And I wasn't even asking for much as I worked full time and went to school half time. He had a part time job.

I dated him way too long. 2 years.

He mostly played league of legends. He didn't really play anything else. Which I also thought was kinda meh.

Zero other hobbies or interests.

As I said I myself play a lot of games. I'm not against video games as a pastime. But for some it's literally the only thing they do and they prioritize it over experiencing life or being present for anyone else. Use it as an excuse to not help out their partner or take care of themselves.

I was always cleaning up after him.

It wasn't a video game issue per se. It was him being incapable of putting in effort. And using games to avoid responsibilities. But I could see how someone might think it was the gaming causing the problem.
