RE: The invisible line of strangers

I believe that even though the relationship is between two, there are things that should not be lost: like individuality, for example. If at the beginning of the relationship some limits are clear, I don't think that spending time doing things individually can create a conflict. If there is time to be together, time in quantity and quality, there is no reason to question the activities that the other can do. Of course, if we are talking about activities that may be detrimental to the couple, it is normal that there is concern and a need to talk about it. For example, if a man likes to drink in moderation and this does not affect the relationship, I think it should not create displeasure in the couple. By the way, I have a friend who met her husband at a party and he danced a lot. She did not like to dance, so she decided to learn just to share with her husband at parties. Now the two of them even dance at her house. Greetings, @tarazkp!

My question is where is the line? For example, if you and I are in a relationship and I play games an hour a day and you are fine with that. But, after the honeymoon period of the relationship I start increasing the time I play - at what point have I "broken the contract" that you first agreed to?

A happy compromise. Often dancing is one of those things that people don't know they love til they spend time doing it. In some cultures (Finland these days) dancing isn't the norm - so most have never really danced socially. It used to be how people met here though :)
