I tell my single friends it pretty much balances out. Being in a relationship (albeit a healthy one) definitely makes you happier, but it comes at a constant price of compromises.
Loving someone and being loved is great, but i do miss playing online games with my microphone on until I pass out in my underwear covered in doritos dust.
After 25 years of marriage (no kids), I can say that, if you make the right choices, you can have both lol. We both played WOW for a decade or two off and on, and still game, just less passing out, less online, and less Doritos… Because age.
Why would a relationship be in the way of that? My partner would have zero issues with me doing that, as long as it doesn’t become a concerning pattern

Yes. Relationships always require ongoing compromise. No two people are identical in their desires or needs.
For some people the benefits of a relationship offset the need for compromise, for others they don’t.
