Personal hobbies can be a healthy way to unwind and recharge.

This man was looking forward to buying and playing several new video games over his Christmas break.

His girlfriend, however, felt he was spending too much money and time on his hobby.

She convinced him to change his plans and spend more time with her.

Now, the argument continues. Read the full story below to find out more.

AITAH for how much money and time I’ll be spending on video games?

This year has been stressful for me as I’ve had a lot going on with family.

While also having final exams and other assignments through work.

Video games are a hobby I’ve enjoyed since I was young.

And I usually get new games whenever they come out.

This man planned to buy several video games and play them over Christmas break.

I haven’t had the time this year.

So I said I’d wait until Christmas and buy the games that came out this year that I wanted.

I planned to play them for a few days over my time off work between Christmas and New Year.

My girlfriend has known about this since I planned it a few months ago.

But this weekend, she mentioned that she doesn’t think I should.

His girlfriend did not support this plan, convincing him not to spend so much.

She said it’ll be expensive getting them all and that I shouldn’t be spending that much money on them at once.

She also said that it is a lot of time to spend on them when we’re off work.

I’ll be getting probably 6 to 7 games that have been released this year.

So the average cost will probably be £45-£55 per game.

I pointed out it’s my money and that I’d still be able to afford bills and the plans we’ve got.

He argued that they would still spend time together.

So it’s not really up to her how I spend my money.

I pointed out we’ve got a lot of plans over the time off over Christmas.

So me taking a couple of days for myself is not an issue.

The majority of the time off will still be spent together.

Now, he’s wondering if it’s wrong to spend fmoney for his video games.

She said I should be listening to her and open to changing what I had planned.

She said I should only get one or two games and only spend a few hours on it.

I refused and just repeated again that it’s my money and time, and it doesn’t impact anything we have planned.

AITA for how much money and time I’ll be spending on video games?
