To contantly watch football and play X-Box instead of wanting to spend time with your wife of nine years.

YES.... let him be a boy... My husband is a HUGE fan of Football... every sunday from about noon till about 7 i sit on the couch and watch it with him.. not because im a fan of it (although I enjoy it) but because its time spent together doing something he enjoys.... and I enjoy being with him... he explains to me and i help him cheer... :-) good times... :-) I also play some video games with him.. for the same reason... try it...! im sure he'll appreciate it..
after all its better for him to do those things with you than alone or with other people... trust me it'llbring you both a bit closer.. He says he loves the fact I do those things with him rather than him doing them alone or with someone else..
:-D

Yes, my man will play video games and use his computer and read ALL DAY LONG EVERY DAY.
I don't really mind though... I like to do my own thing too. We just stop in and say hello to each other throughout the day. I'd much rather him be at home than out drinking or spending money.
We also do things on the days we have my stepson, so the family time makes up for it.

Throw that x-box in the trash and take that man for a walk. If he has been playing that thing and sitting in front of the tv for lon periods of time he probably need a walk. Tell him that marriage is about 2 people working on the relationship not just one.

My husband will play Xbox sometimes or spend time on the computer to relax. I have no problem with that, he only does it for a few hours on the weekends and he takes good care of his family and our kids, some men just like to be boys for a while with video games. Nothing wrong with that as long as its in moderation.

it's not abnormal, but not all men are like this. my husband doesn't watch football or play xbox and we spend the majority of our free time together. however, the football-watching, xbox-playing man is not unusual.
perhaps your husband just likes to unwind and tune out daily stresses by zoning out a little. my husband likes to watch car shows, work on his car, or read car magazines (see a trend here?). however, we still spend a lot of time together because we do new things. try doing something new with your hub to recapture his attention.
- go to play, museum, zoo, art gallery
- join an intramural team. last year we played broomball even though neither of us had ever even heard of the sport. we had fun and it was exhilarating doing something fun together.
- go to a car show, book reading, jazz club
- and the most novel idea...play xbox with him

My husband doesn't watch football or play X Box! He does go fishing, goes to the bike shop and works on his motorcycle but those things don't come before our family. All guys have something that they like to do. If it is interfering with his family life then you need to talk to him about it.

hmmmm, football games are on saturday noon to 5pm, thats leave the rest of saturday night spend with you. Sunday at noon to about 6pm in some cases, then rest of Sunday night with you. Now here come Monday night , that is only for four hours and the rest of the night with you. I see there is still plenty of time for you on those football days, don't you?

No most men watch football and play Playstation. You might want to think about having an affair.

People need time to themselves to pursue their own hobbies an interests. Perhaps you could try doing the same. If you seem to have no hobbies or motivations in life and only want to spend time with him, perhaps he is turned off by it and uses sports and games as an escape outlet.

No its not. I've been married six years and we've been together eight and my wife is still the center of my life. I can't get enough of her. You need to talk to your husband about how you're feeling. He might not even realize how neglectful hes gotten. Give him a chance to make it right.
