If she hates you playing and hopes she can change you your realationship will be in crisis later unless you are going to stop playing, or she stops hating that you do. If issue lies more with time spent in gaming, then it's not a bad one. When you get older you start to have less time for your beloved hobbies, since work and family will devour so much of your time.  But if your hobby is important you find some time for it too, though not as much as right now.In this case she simply believes you are not one of those sad cases who get so obsessed with their hobbies that they sacrifise potential job and family life for it. Perhaps you should reinforce idea, that while you love your hobby, you are not going to let it dominate your life. You just want to keep it, and it's not different from other hobbies, just nerdy hobby you happen to love.I had issues about gaming within my family. That and other control freaky issues  contributed to really cold relationship. You can't choose your parents but you can choose your life mate, don't walk the bitter road. Solve these issues before you commit as family.</blockquote>
