Watch porn and masturbate. Video tape and show him what he's missing.

Marry an adult next time.

I love it when DH gets a new game, I can get so much work done around the house ... and I don't even have to feel guilty about it!

Take the cord and hide it.

It's probably his way of decompressing and relaxing. DH does this all the time

Also, I can't do movie nights . I always fall asleep.

Are you really complaining about this behaviour after just a couple of days? And the other DWs are cheering you on and suggesting a "serious discussion" about time limits? Sigh.

First, chill, and let him just do this harmless and relaxing fun for a while. If he just received a new game, he will slow down after about two weeks.

Also, why not ask him to find a two-player game so that you can play sometimes too? Not some "dance studio" crap, but you can look and choose one together. Then do that together one night each week.

And, you can probably get the OK for one set movie night each week. Just don't use it as a trick to pester him about the games or give him long "honey do" talks.


I could probably do a two player game. Any suggestions?

If it's a new game I'd give it a pass for a few days. But after that he needs to stop otherwise a serious discussion is in order and time limits need to put on him playing. I'm so glad my Dh outgrew playing video games.

Both.

I don’t know if this is the case with your DH or if this is an ongoing issue, but didn’t some very popular video game come out last week? A bunch of my adult male friends on FB were posting about it. If that’s the case I’d probably let it go for a week or two until he gets bored with it. Let him have a little fun.

If this is a permanent, all-the-time problem, that’s different.

He puts on a movie, I fall asleep, and he goes to play games.


NP. I agree the first step is to just ask him directly if he'll hang out with you tonight. People suggesting "sexy texts" and other "hints" are missing that direct communication often works best. If you want something, ask him directly.

But you need to be reasonable too. If you fall asleep and he wants to go do something else once you're snoring, there's no problem with that, is there?


This is where you are missing on the art of seduction, the mental foreplay. It's nice to mix things up, to give your partner a build up. The routine becomes routine and then the video games become more interesting than the bedroom.
