I am really tired of it! I wish he would grow up already. He uses video games as a means of escape. He has spent a lot of time and money on video games. I deal with problems differently. If there is something bothering me I do something about it. I don't escape. Doesn't that make the problem worse?

not to be mean but there are worse things he could be addicted to, but if he is using the games as a means to escape your problems then he is avoiding confrontation and therefore not resolving any of your issues, which isnt good. In order for this to work there has to be compromise on issues that are bothering the both of you, otherwise the problems that you are having wont go away, sit down and talk to him about how you feel, try to involve him more, and most of all try not to get angry as this may be the reason he is avoiding talking out these issues to begin with... you guys can work things out but its going to take the both of you, otherwise this will be an ongoing problem in your relationship...Most of all listen to his side before jumping in about the problems you are both having, and be understanding and he will hopefully follow by example, and not get angry as well...
goodluck to the both of you

Different people deal with things in different ways. Your husband sounds borderline dysfunctional. My husband and I both play video games, but we do it for fun, and not obsessively - however, my brother in law is totally addicted, and all he ever does is play World of Warcraft; he's always online! He's not married - if he was, this would surely cause problems!

Some men use that as a way to escape I know after a long day I like to do things to escape ( scrapbook, write poems) so as childish as it may seem to you he does it to escape the stress that he is in and its his way of being reminded of the days when life was not so tough so be patient with him and if he uses it to never to communicate with you then talk to him about it

Yep, get used to it. Been married 8yrs. and it still hasn't changed. But at this point I would just rather him stay playing his stupid video games than bother me. You'll get there to someday, just hang in there. I remember when it would bother me, that was so long ago.

No, I am single. It is so wonderful to be able to do what I want to do. When I want to be with friends, I can do that. When I want to read and/or be alone, I do that.
I suggest you tell your husband how you feel. Perhaps he is unaware of your feelings because he is so caught up in his games. Best wishes.

Mine not only plays games at home but has a job designing them. I'd much rather he have a game addiction than porn, gambling, or other women.

Confont him about it and if it is that serious to you, unplug the game while hes away and hide it somewhere he will never find it. then tell him about his problem and that he needs to find a solution. dont tell him where the game is, but u might want to really hide it, like at the neighbors house or sumthin.
