Would you be mad? (Read First Plz)
I want you all to pretend this is your situation, so I’m going to try to explain strictly facts and you tell me how you would react. My fiancé and I decided together to make this poll because he doesn’t think i should be mad but I am. (I’m not constantly mad, but i am when he plays xbox)
Okay, so we both work. He works full time, leaves the house at 6:45 and gets home around 4 or 5. I work part time on the weekends because I’m a full time student. We also have a child together who is 10 Months Old. My fiancé likes to play Xbox. Excessively, in my opinion. He’ll get home from work, say hi and give me a kiss, pick up the baby and play with him for a little bit and usually the TV is on Netflix watching my show (because my son is 10 mo and doesn’t like tv so I’m not gonna torture myself with cartoons until he’s older). I’ll go to the bathroom or something and while Im gone, he’ll change the TV over to his Xbox (in the middle of my show) and that annoys me but it’s not worth arguing over. So I don’t say anything but it adds to my anger later. He’ll play from 5:30 until he helps me put the baby down at 9 and then continue to play until we go to bed at 11:30 or midnight. This is an everyday occurrence except weekends when I’m at work. This really bothers me because he’s been gone all day and i miss him but he plays online so I can’t talk to him while he plays because he’s talking to his teammates.
I’ve brought this up and used the words “I just want to spend more time with you” and he said “we have all our lives to spend time together” but I’m like, so when does that start? This has been a problem for months before the baby was even born and is still a problem. He doesn’t think I have the right to be mad. Would you be mad? I want you all to be aware that M-Th he plays xbox like this and I work Friday through Sunday.
