Not really a problem per se, but they're much older than I am, in their 70s or so. I'm only in my 30s. So our hobbies are completely different. I wouldn't mind if it was once a week or so, but at this point its quickly turning into 6-7 times a week. And its not a small one or two hour things, its a 5-6 hours thing, where my entire dinner is ruined. I've started putting my foot down on time, because its getting a little on the ridiculous side. I don't mind hanging out with people, but I also dont appreciate eating pizza every day and watching 3 hour long movies every single time. However, I am relatively introverted, so what kind of ways can i let them down more slowly?

It sounds like they are afraid of what it will be like when one of them dies and they have to be alone. Maybe they are trying to stock up on time spent with you now so you spend time with them when their spouse dies. Tell them that as long as you love yourself, being alone is not that bad.
