Question

My husband is 21 and I’m 20 it’ll be 2 years we’ve been married in February. But here’s the issue my husband acts like he never has enough energy to watch tv or a movie with me. But when he plays the game he can play for hours at a time. That starts an argue between us, what should I do? I just want attention from my husband and to feel loved I’m also 33 weeks. He also hates when I bring up the game, but if he showed me as much attention as he showed the game I wouldn’t have too🤦🏾‍♀️ am I wrong for feeling this way?

Answer

Get a controller and play with him too. Plenty of multiplayer games out there. My husband went through a hardcore gaming phase for awhile and it would make me so mad, but then one day I just got fed up, walked out the door without saying a word and went to town to cool down and for something to do. I wasn't gone too long really (i got bored, I'm not huge into shopping).after that I didnt let it bother me, I'd just go find something to do. He came out of it and now has a healthier gaming schedule. I enjoy gaming too, I just don't get to often because I'm a mom  and I'm busy 🤷 but I'd tell him one full evening a week he needs to not pick up the controller. You want his full attention.

Answer

Last weekend, all my boyfriend wanted to do was play his PS4. When I suggested watching a movie together to spend time together, he turned on Netflix and then put on the show he was currently in the middle of 🙄 I sat there giving out little hints like “so, this is what we’re watching? After I requested a movie for us to watch?”
And he finished the episode and then we went and got dinner together to spend time together. I didn’t argue with him about it because I didn’t feel like it was worth getting into an argument over however, I felt it needed to be talked about. I specifically asked him to watch a certain movie with me yet he went and turned on something he wanted to watch. 
It took a couple of hints for him to get that I wanted to spend quality time together and while yeah, we were both sitting there watching the show, I had no idea what was going on because it was the middle of the season versus if we had started the season together. 
Needless to say, I was pretty upset that night feeling like he completely disregarded my feelings. 
I brought it up and we talked about it. Turns out, he didn’t even realize how upset I actually was about it. 
I told him that it’s always him who wants me sitting in his game room with him when he plays his video games but it’s not really like we’re spending quality time together. He’s so caught up in his game that he forgets about me sometimes but I know he asks me to sit there with him in the same room because that’s his way of spending time with me, even if I don’t see it that way. 
I know you said it starts an argument between the two of you but I would bring it up calmly. 
Tell him you just wanna talk to him calmly and to have him sit and here you out, and then he can give his side of it, but in a peaceful way. Communication is key and is what will help you in this situation. If he gets upset and defensive and doesn’t wanna put in the time to be with you or make time for you, he’s the one with the issue(s).
