Nobody’s writing reddit/lemmy essays about how great their life is, these topics are skewed toward people venting and ranting. My wife is great and has zero problems with how much I game, and I have no problems with how much she crochets or watches YouTube or watches TikToks or plays Powerwash Simulator. The only thing she’s ever gotten upset about was me spending time on my phone instead of talking when we were out at restaurants, which is perfectly reasonable. She understands my compulsion to pick up and play new games, because it’s the same thing for her with books on and off of her Kindle.
But even before I nuked my decade-old reddit account, you’d never find me posting about it except in comment sections like this where it was relevant, and we’ve been together a better part of that account’s existence. I don’t need advice or to express my love to anyone but her, because we’re happy with each other and willing to talk to one another when we’re having problems.
