Tips/advice for dating a Twitch streamer?

Perspective: Married, I stream, and I have a full-time job.

I do 4 days/week right now, and do 6pm to about 10pm (plus or minus an hour). We just barely make it work. But why do we make it work?

  • One of the days, we play together on stream as a couple. This usually isn't my "main game", but sometimes is. We don't have a lot of "us" time for games, so this was important to work in.
  • My wife handles all the video editing. She's a champ and is having fun learning something new (when the editing software isn't being a pain). She also mods for the stream and hangs with chat to a degree (understandably not 100% engaged at all times!)
  • We've met some amazing people and the community does grow slowly.

Basically, we do streaming as a team.. It's been fun, and we've grow a small little community.

So what are your BF's motivations? His goals? Your goals? Do they align, can you support each other? How can you make this a two-way street?
