Mine games more than me, so I don't imagine him asking me 
But if I was with someone else and we lived together and he asked me to stop, I'd only game less so we could spend more time together.
When you love someone, you put up with their habits and make these sacrifices.

No, I wouldn't, just like if I ever asked my girlfriend to stop buying excessive amounts of shoes, she wouldn't either. You can't control your partner.
If my partner starts demanding that i should quit any of my hobbies because they take "too much of my time" i will re-evaluate whether or not i made an error of judgment and accidentally started a relation with a person who doesn't respect me and subsequently how i spend my time.
If they were so great and this was just 1 thing asked of me, I could possibly pack it in. I'd still do my forum surfing/sci fi & fantasy stuff though. I may drop a few elements of my personality to make a relationship work, but asking someone to completely change is a sign they obviously don't care about you, more the person they want to mold you into.
She plays as much as me, so that wouldn't happen. But something strange cropped up and she asked me to quit, I would be willing to play less, but quit? No.
I'd maybe game less, but never give it up.
Even if you love someone with all your heart, can you truly say you want to spend time with them 24/7? I'd guess not, as you'll always want a bit of time to yourself. I could never give it up though, it's my escape from the world.

I find that I game a lot less than I used to as a kid, since I've got more to get on with like work and Uni so I tend to be on a DSi more often than my Wii or 360.
So yes, I could see myself gaming on handhelds more often when commuting or when I'm not busy spending time with my girlfriend (if she wasn't a gamer).

I think if she asked to stop all together I'd probably break up with her pretty soon. Though I felt proud of myself skipping the Gears of War 2 launch for a date with my one serious girlfriend. As much as she doesn't like video games (we have "debates" about them constantly) I'm a teenager and it's not she would be around me enough to be annoyed by it.
Though I guess if I were older and it was like a live-in situation where she would be around me constantly then I guess I might play less...not much so though.

no i wouldnt, and i wouldnt have a partner that would ask me to quit anything i like, unless i was serious addict.
If it was a real relationship and I do mean real love without a second doubt I would cut back en masse for the right person, for a casual relationship or just someone whos okay noooope not a fuckin chance in hell actualy I never have those relationships anymore rather a one nighter than a temp ball and chain I know will go nowhere.
