Also, its not your place to control your partner.
And not to distract from the abusive behavior of OOP or imply that this would ever be ok, but there isn't anything wrong with adults playing Minecraft.
Anecdotally, the average Minecraft player is an adult or at least an older teen. Its just that Minecraft YouTube content is generally aimed more towards young children, giving a false impression of the age and maturity of the user base (as an aside, most Minecraft YouTube content is garbage which even kids shouldn't watch).
Citation: I'm an adult who plays Minecraft. I started playing Minecraft as an adult, a little less than a year ago.
There are also interesting intersections between Minecraft and more important things like cybersecurity and human rights.
See for example Log4Shell - which impacted MC servers - or the Modrinth censorship.
There is a whole technical side to the game, and I imagine for some kids Minecraft modding is a way to get into programming.
There are criticisms of the game, sure. But ultimately its their decision, especially if it doesn't impact you.

Not sure why I'm the appropriate person to lecture other people about their relationships.
