Don't marry a gamer.

Jessica

Unless you are a gamer yourself or you've resigned yourself to the fact that games will always come first. It's ruining my marriage. My husband plays games, the extent to which I could not have known and did not realize until we were married and living together (like most things you learn about your SO). Our entire household revolves around his games and is set up just so he can have wired internet. It's moved from our bedroom to the family room and now if my 9 month old son goes near his games he just pushes him out of the way. He's 9 months and walking and wants to be in the middle of everything. Can't blame him. He's a baby. All my husband talks about is internet and games and which ones are coming out and watches videos on YouTube about his games and it's exhausting. We'd separated before over something different but he promised to try and because we have our son, I decided to give it a chance. I'm feeling like this was in vain now and don't know how to handle it. I don't want our son growing up in a broken home where daddy isn't there but at the same time, I feel like he's not present most of the time anyway. He goes to work and comes home, showers, goes straight to games, then if we are lucky he will spend maybe an hour a night with us. What do i need to do?? I feel very lost and like any decision I make will have a major affect on my son. 😔 please be gentle. I'm struggling a lot with this.
