[quote=Anonymous]I think you sound like a jerk for being judgemental about his choice of hobby. Gaming doesn't have a goal but does fishing really? The satisfaction of catching a fish yes. There is satisfaction in finishing the puzzle of a game. Many many games are basically mental exercises. It is fine to not be into it yourself but I don't see how I can criticize my husband playing a game when I watch the Bachelorette. I know that's very gendered and stereotype filled but accurate in my household.

I played games too and still do when I feel like it so maybe that is the difference? I dunno, but you sound like a nag.

That said, my husband loves games and plays games, sometimes even until 2am or something, but he never shirks his morning duties or any other kid duties. He gets all his chores done (which are not insubstantial) and he pulls his weight with childcare. And he doesn't let it impact our intimate time with each other. If that wasn't the case, we'd have problems. And it was actually a problem early on, so he quit warcraft, which he couldn't play in a controlled way.

You don't have a gamer problem, you have a specific person problem, and that problem is that he leaves you holding the bag, not that he likes games. [/quote]
