One of the most important parts in any relationship, at least for me, is spending time away from your other half. Maybe it's because I'm dead inside, or perhaps it's because it's important that two people maintain their own lives while in a relationship, rather than merging into one person - or maybe it's a combination of both those things.
Having friends, hobbies and interests outside of your relationship is what keeps you from becoming that boring couple where you never see one without the other.

In the post, he says: "Today I get a text from her asking what I'm doing tonight. I tell her when I get off work I'm going to play some Destiny before I have to leave for hockey.
"She ends up calling me gets pretty upset saying that we should spend some time together before I go to hockey and that I shouldn't be wasting my time on a video game.
"I remind her that we hung out yesterday and are hanging out again tomorrow and I was looking forward to some me time. So then she drops an ultimatum on me, its either her or Destiny. Then hangs up."

The man, who posted the exchange on Reddit to get some advice, also added that the pair had only been dating for a month. If she was behaving like this after a month, can you imagine what she would have been like two years down the line? Matching hoodies, probably. Looks like you had a lucky escape, mate.
This guy isn't the only one to find himself in hot water after choosing gaming over his girl.
This fella's group chat when viral due to the sheer amount of gaming puns from him and his mates when he was dumped by his partner for spending too much time messing around with his joystick.

You've got to hand it to them, that's a seriously impressive amount of punning.
