I don't limit my activities due to age. If I find something to be fun then I will continue to do it regardless of how old I am. Some of you may wish to place artificial limitations on your activities once you reach a certain age but many of us don't.

An obese 42-year-old who's addicted to video games and needs mommy's approval to buy a PlayStation. Congratulations, looks like you got yourself a diamond.

The OP is a codependent relationship, and if you read her other posts you'll see she has been trying to control him for quite some time, with little success.

The answer is very simple, games are his escape, if he was like this with his ex, and not like that with you at first the how were you different in the beginning?

I love video games, play them for hours, but if its a choice between making love or playing GTA sex wins 9.5 out 10 times, if you want him to spend less time with his games and more time with you, then you will have to make him happier than the games do.

From reading your posts it seems that has not been tried by you. you seem to want him to replace the gaming with things that are not as entertaining or stimulating as the games, to him that would not be a fair trade.

Exactly, its like people think life is supposed to be devoid of enjoyment after you hit 30ish.

Me and my wife will spend usually an entire day playing the PS4 when we aren't working. It's called having fun. I don't get why people try to put an age limit on things.
