Husband plays Fortnite constantly

Sounds super immature to me.

I guess I would try to negotiate an agreement whereby he helps at home or spends time with the family a certain amount.

he should be allowed to have some of his own time...though I can't personally picture myself with a middle-aged man who plays video games.

Have you told them that it bothers you and that you'd like to spend more time together? Or are you just quietly (except for DCUM) seething about it?

Mine does too. And he didn’t play games 20 years ago when we married. Also, smart phones and tablets didn’t exist.
I’ve mentally checked out of the marriage at this point and just do my own thing now. Let him spend his life playing video games. I am out living.

+1. While I'm on DCUM intermittently, my wife is on DCUM constantly. It's lonely.

Fortnight sucks, you should dump him for having low gaming standards.

How often are you on DCUM, OP?

Use your tools. Your tools are not words. My wife recently told me that a friend of hers was complaining that she couldn't get her husband to do 'X' around the house.

My only response was, "How bad must she be in the sack that she can't get her husband to do X for her?"

You know what to do.

How are video games any different than watching sports on tv, playing golf, going bowling, or posting on dcum all day?

Yes, it is unreasonable. He is an adult and has a hobby. It’s not harming anyone and there are benefits such as hand eye coordination as he ages that helps from gaming. There are plenty of men that play Fortnite (especially with their kids).
