Relationships are partnerships that require a certain give and take, but it really ought to be painless. You should want to put down the game controller or remote in order to spend more time with your partner. Someone forcing you to give up a favorite passtime is just as selfish as the person who won't give up a passtime to spend more time with the partner.
It is tremendously important for both man and women to realize that thier partner needs a little alone time in order to keep their sanity. If more people would simply accept thier boyfriend/girlfriend for who they are and not try to change them (people only change if they want to) there would be a lot more stable relationships out there. But that would require patience and maturity - the two things most easily nulified by selfishness.
If you cannot hold someone else's needs above your own, you aren't emotionally ready to have a relationship.
Eliminate selfishness and you'll find happiness. It works. I'm married 11 years now and still in love:D
