    The most common would be video games (2K specifically) but how do you handle this? Do you act like you enjoy it, avoid them while they're enjoying it, or does it annoy you?
    My wife loves to garden and a ton of other things, she's constantly moving around. I can't watch movies with her because she can't sit for too long, she's always doing something.
    It really doesn't bother me, I like seeing her do what she likes even if I'm not into any of it.
    I have hobbies I'm into that she doesn't do, it just works out I guess. Helps to have 23 years of marriage under your belt.

    What type of situation are you in?

    It's just a question that came to mind because of a meme I saw, trying to get my money right before I even think about dating

    I let him do his thing. But I can't remember the last time I dated a man who plays video games. Sports I can do but not someone who sits around playing games all day.
