Hormones or do I have the right to be upset?

Question

My husband and his best friend talk like at least 5 times a day on the phone. He plays ps4 with him with a headset for at least 3 hours every night and they also work together. The second he gets done playing with him and tells him he's going to eat out watch a movie with me his friend calls him and has to go over what they just did in the game. So yesterday I yelled at my husband telling him he should marry his friend since he would rather spend all day at work with him plus multiple hours online with him then probably another 2 hours worth of phone conversations with him every single day. He just says he isn't the one calling him and he has to answer his friend calls because he doesn't want to have no friends like me. I have one good friend and we talk probably once or twice a week and that is fine with me I married my best friend so I could have that all the time connection with him not someone else so I don't need other friends to be that close to. Am I wrong for being mad that he spends so much time and effort on being a good friend and then almost completely ignores my wants and needs as his wife?

Answer

Ok, what your husband is doing is giving all his time to his friend and leaving little time for you and that's not ok. But it's also not ok that you expect him to reverse the roles and give all his time to you and little to his friend. It seems like maybe your husband is the more social one. Some people need out side interaction and that's ok. I've been in both your shoes and his shoes. It's so important to find a balance.

Answer

Yes you have a right to be upset. You are his wife which should be his first priority. I would sit down and talk to your husband about it. There's really no reason a grown should be paying more attention to video games and his friends over his family. Yes he should have friends and down time but it should not take priority over you.

Answer

Maybe find a social activity you can do together that you are comfortable with. I hate that I had to divorce my first husband but he became an addict and abusive. Marriage was something very important to me. Are you able to talk to your husband about how you feel in a constructive way so you guys can fix it?

Answer

Seen plenty of relationships ruin because of them games

Answer

I think you have a right to be upset. Tell his best friend to just cut down on the conversation maybe only talk like twice a week or 30 mins a day?

Answer

It's sounds immature but get a male friend and see what he thinks of that. Or hell make a nice relationship with the office whore and see if he enjoys you guys going out together
