Game addict?

Question

My hubby loves video games. I don't mind them until 6 hours later he's still playing or all day even...
I'm not a gamer and he knows I've never been. He got better about not always being on it until recently he got bad about it again. 
It annoys me to death.

Anyone else's hubby or SO a game addict? How do you deal?

Answer

I wish my husband would spend half the time. He does gaming at the gym! Like come on do something a little more productive

Answer

I am married to a video game addict, but I don't mind because that's partly why we fell in love in the first place. I grew up playing Sega and Playstation, while he was more a Nintendo man. Ten years later we have combined our video game collections and play together every day. We even have couples tattoos based on a Mario game.

He plays all day if he's not at work. It doesn't bother me one bit. He has ADD and games are one thing he can always focus on so it makes him feel good.

The good thing is the second I say "Hey do you think we could do something else?" "Can you help me with this?" Or anything at all like that the game goes off. So he's addicted, but it has no effect on our marriage.

I just wish people knew that if you enter a relationship with a gamer you're going to need to learn to accept it. We don't outgrow it lol

Answer

My hubby is addicted to games. You need to talk to him. And one thing I've learned is that being naked and asking him a few questions helps, also trying to get him to BD helps distract him from games. Lol

But in all seriousness, talk to him and maybe try to come to a term of agreement that many he not play games 2/3 times a week where y'all spend family time together. Or maybe he only spend 2-3 hours a day uninterrupted game time because it might be how your hubby distresses.

My hubby uses gaming as a way of destressing.

Ugh! I to can relate.. Constantly playing video games- and I am totally not into it... He says well you're always on your phone... Well yeah cause I have nothing else to do....

It's super annoying to me. And honestly he knows but doesn't really care. lol!

I just totally made him sound like a jerk- but he isn't! It's my pregnancy hormones!!! lol

Answer

I'm a gamer as is my husband, so it's a shared hobby. I can see where it would be a problem if the person was spending too much money, or never interacting with their spouse/kids. But I would just like to ask any person who has a problem with video games, if they have any time consuming hobby of their own, whether it's sports, or soap operas, or even being on the phone with friends/family for long periods. It's OK for each person to have their own hobby and how they want to spend free time.

But to this specific situation, if your husband is spending too much time or money, it's easy to install apps that track how often the system is used. You can use them then to illustrate that he's spending too much time on a hobby and you'd like to spend some of it together, instead. He may just be losing track of time. Then try to tell him specifically what you want to do and when. Most people aren't so obsessed with their hobby they don't want to be with their spouse. :-)

Answer

Yeah I'm the addict. But I'm a stay at home Mom and twitch my gaming to make money.

Answer

My husband constantly plays vids. How I deal is tell him the I want a couple hours of his time either going for a walk or playing a board game or watching a show. It seems to work.

Answer

My hubby was the same! It's ok to play a couple of times a week. Not all day! I had to sit down with mine and explain to him that his game is not real! I am and at the end of the day he is hurting our relationship. It'll get better. Mine will play every other day for a bit. We make time during the week for date night. 😃

Answer

Ugh my husband is obsessed with clash of clans, random skateboarding FB videos, and 4 fantasy leagues. Lord help me

Answer

My husband is and on the weekend he plays all day, but he also works all week. It's his time off and he can spend it however he pleases at home. As long as bills are paid, housework is done, and we spend some time together I don't care how much he plays.
