Am I being selfish?
My husband and I had some people over to watch the UFC fights tonight. I’m not having the best of nights, I feel really down. And whenever I feel down and want some love from my husband I tell him that. So I text him, saying that I needed some love (just cuddling or whatever) and obviously after everyone leaves for the night. He saw my text but when everyone left he told me he felt sad because his work friends blew him off which I totally understand and I tried to make him feel better but he still was sad. Then he got onto his PS4 to play a game with his friends and asked me to go to the store to get him beer. He always plays video games which I know that’s the guy I married. Video games make him happy so when he’s down he wants to play. I feel upset though because it seems like he didn’t care how I feel. I want him to be with me but instead he just jumped on his game and put his headphones on to talk to his buds, laughing and everything and now I’m alone and sad. At the same time though I feel like I’m being selfish because he actually had a reason to be sad and video games cheer him up.... not me. So I don’t want to make this about me or make him feel even worse. I don’t want him to have to turn off his game and hence be sad. Thoughts? Plus I feel like i must be an awful wife if he would rather play video games 24/7 than spend any time with me. The only times him and I spend together is either when we’re eating, or if no one is online to play. And even then, he’s just on his phone the whole time.
