| Anytime we have down time, he picks up his ipad and plays it. He’s 47. I don’t understand, and it drives me crazy. Am I unreasonable? |

| You married a man who plays video games. That was your choice. |

| Mine reads the internet. It’s lonely. |

Actually, when we got married he owned several but never played them. This didn’t happen until we moved to a quieter part of the city and then had a kid and just lead a tamer life. |

Yeah. It is lonely. And when he gets sucked into a game it’s like 15 minutes before he can stop and do anything else. |

| It’s an addiction just like anything. Instead of being an unhealthy addiction like cigarettes or drinking, it simply ruins relationships. There’s a ton of research on this very common issue, just Google it. Have him get help before it ruins your relationship or future. |

| This is a relationship issue not a gaming issue. My partner truly loves gaming - actually played E-sports (? I know nothing about the gaming world) for money when he was younger. He plays online with his childhood friends regularly. That said he has never in over two years neglected or ignored me in favor of gaming or messing around on his phone. If anything I am more guilty of phone addiction and yes it can be a total relationship killer! |

| Fortnite on iPad? Not computing. |

| Would you be feeling the same way if it were golf or some approved man hobby from the 1970s and 1980s? |

| My DW is constantly on Twitter and Instagram. I think she would have withdrawn sickness if she stops. Doesn’t matter time of day or night or what we are doing. Is there any difference?? |
