On a serious note: Try to make a compromise. Like so und so many hours per day/week. If that doesn't work, go out without him. Gym, bars, friends, whatever. Just be gone and see how fast he gets anxious and wants you to be home more.
I'm guessing not at all. I don't know that people seriously into gaming would care at all what others do while they are gaming. It's just more uninterrupted time to do their thing.
Thanks for all the replies. I just am so upset and it bugs me how he like so many other men prefer stupid "virtual worlds" over the real thing.
OP, was there no sign during dating and/or engagement that this could be a problem?
What happens when he's done playing each night; does he assume you'll provide sexual services after ignoring you all evening?
1) Find a good male friend. Good looking and cool car is a plus.
2) One night while hubby's mesmerized by whatever stupid game he is playing, go into your bedroom and slip into the hottest dress you can find. Nails. Hair. Stiletto heels. You name it.
3) Sashay around the den and see if he notices you.
4) If not, call male friend and ask him to pick you up. Make sure he pulls into the driveway and honks the horn.
5) Leave.
6) Go sit in a coffee shop around the block with friend for the next 30 minutes, enjoying innocuous conversation until your mobile phone blows up with calls from hubby.
7) Have your friend drive you home.
8) Walk back in the door and say, "Well, I guess I'm more important to you than those video games after all."
Video games are almost as bad as heroin. Adult men who play them every night should have their freaking heads examined, especially when there are so many better things to do with their time. A little bit? Sure. Every night for hours at a time? It is a seriously empty and pathetic existence he's choosing to have.
But, ultimately, this is as much your fault as it is his. You overlooked his addiction before you married him, thinking he was going to change. What? You thought it was going to get better?
I have to laugh at this. I did exactly this with my ex-husband. He is an ex because he never blew up my phone at step 6, and he never even noticed that I came home at step 7. I knew without a shadow of a doubt that he truly did not care about me as a person.
