At least he's not running off to the bars etc...Be happy he is doing something constructive and making money on the side.
You show him love and rub his back etc...
Be positive and don't nag too much.
Do sweet things for him and I bet he'll do them back eventually!

Yes...sounds like a classic case of ebayitis.

Make sure you strap-in your kids and pets or they will be auctioned of too. I have seen whole families get auctioned on ebay.

Supportive care and vigilance is the only defense and treatment. Occasionally encouragement to watch sports on TV helps in very difficult cases.

Scientist are working on a vaccine for ebayitis but inital results have not been encouraging.

Sorry

Look at it this way, hes not in the bars, at the casinoes or in the t*tty bars. hes home... talk to him, maybe set a time where its just you and him, or tell him you appriciate that hes found a hobby but you didnt get married to be "alone" and tell him that you need him to take time to wind your clock every once in awhile before you become an antique.
Good luck

Addicted is such a strong term to use. Maybe he has just found a new hobby that he likes to do and is in the beginning stages of it, when all of his free time is consumed by it. If you are feeling left out of his life, then you should speak to him about it.

What are you saying? "That I can't do myself" I am trying to understand the statement.
Talk to him. Explain your views and complaints.
Are you saying that you can do it yourself that you would like him to be gone.
I really don't understand what your trying to say.
I hope this helps.

Tell him he has to spend TIME doing other things as well. (heh! heh! sorry couldn't help it.
Seriously, he has to allocate Time (oops! sorry ) to your home as well as his hobbies in somewhat of an equal manner. Tell him you are really ticked off! (oh! oh! another one there!).
