maybe after some time you don't even have to bring it up anymore as some "this is me". Maybe with some time in a happy relationship it becomes a thing of the past.
so, my take would be "let it happen, don't scare her away and try to find luck in the relationship, maybe you can leave it behind"
absolutely. And if it isn't your main pastime, the importance of it in your life maybe lessens over time and even vanishes
