Needing more attention :/

Sometimes (probably on my period...so now!) I feel like I just want extra hugs and attention from my bf. normally he is very sweet but sometimes he gets home from work and spends hours on his technology. Even when we watch tv together he always has his laptop or game boy out. I don't feel like I ever get 100% of his attention. He really hurt my feelings the other night because he said that "I can't do anything else but pay attention to you" I obviously want him to enjoy himself after work-but I'm competing with like 4 screens! Just give me a little affection and then I'll be good! Any one have any advice/ feel the same way?
