[quote=Anonymous]My husband loves video games. It's also a great social outlet for him, as he plays online with several buddies.

It doesn't bother me at all, but he probably plays 10-15 hours a week on average, so not a ton. It does ebb and flow - it'll be a lot right after he gets really into a new game.

The thing that would make the difference to me is if he was leaving me holding the bag, or if I felt neglected. He does half the childcare and housework. We both work full time. We get plenty of quality time together, including at least one date night a week (although they're a little lame right now in the covid era, we always reserve 1-2 evenings per week as us-time). If he wants to spend his lunch break playing video games, or play video games after the kid is asleep, or while I'm watching the baby, what do I care? No different, to me, than reading or golfing or being really into CrossFit. You do you.

If he wasn't doing his half of the housework/childcare, I would feel VERY differently - but I would try to focus my displeasure on that, not the video games. [/quote]
