    Our partner tells us that we spend too much time playing games online. Is this a good response (that shows we understand their concerns) “I don’t spend that much time on it. Steve plays way more than me and his partner doesn’t complain.”

    TrueFalse

    How about this response, to the same scenario from the last question: “I appreciate how spending time playing means less time for us. I was just trying to make time to do things with my friends, but I can see how that makes you feel ignored, maybe I have been going a bit overboard with it.”
