So I can only ever play games with my friends, which is almost the only time I play due to outside circumstances, after 9pm because they often don't want to or have something to do, but my gf only wants to call usually after 9pm, I've tried suggesting the I'll be open before then no matter what, that even if she called at 8:59pm I'll pick up and stay on, but she won't accept it, she's tried to say that we can swap and I get on with them before 9pm and after I'm all open, but as I've said, that can't work due to pretty much just life.
Gaming has been a big part of my life ever since I was probably just a toddler, so it's just integrated into me, it's also how I unwind from the day if anything happened or to just recharge since I'm kind of an introvert. But she's not a gamer in the slightest and is much more of a lover, and don't get me wrong, I love her dearly, but she insists that I be available to call at anytime of the day, which I honestly just can't do. She's suggested that I sacrifice weekends to call, but weekends are really the only time I can get on with friends because on weekdays they're doing something or just don't want to get on. So I feel that weekends are too valuable to give up, please tell me if I'm wrong about that though.
I've tried to think of something that would work for both of us, but I just can't. Can anyone please help?
Edit: OK, I think we've found a compromise. I have game time from 8pm-11pm, before and after that I'm open to calls.
