Feeling ignored

I know everyone has different interests. My husband happens to love video games. I am trying to learn to appreciate them more (watching streamed tournaments with him, listening to him talk about it and ask questions, congratulating him when he wins, watching videos of his own gameplay he uploads on YouTube). I really am trying, even though the household I grew up in had a mentality that video games were a waste of time. I also know he enjoys the socializing aspect and I try to encourage that.

But I’ll be honest- when he plays for hours on end and all but ignores my existence, I get mad. Every time. Even if it has been weeks since the last time it happened.

He’s been playing for four hours already today and I know he has plans to play for quite a while longer because he’s Meeting up online to play with people about an hour and a half from now.

I’ve gone in the office twice, once to tell him I had made dinner (other than a tiny glance my direction, he ignored me), and the second time, to grab the vacuum I had left in there. I tried to get his attention at least to say hi, and he got kinda annoyed for me distracting him.

I want to appreciate his interests. Am I crazy to be mad about this? I feel like I’m out here cleaning the house, making dinner, doing laundry, and being ignored.

I love him a lot and I know he tries not to do this often. I don’t know if I just need to get over it, or if it’s valid for me to be upset.
