Competing with the Play Station

southernmomof5 April 25th, 2022

How can someone spend 6-10 hours on the play station EVERYDAY and not understand why I am upset? If he isn't on the PS, he's on his phone watching other people play. I have had sensible conversations with him about this going on 2 years and I am so sick of it. He never comes to bed with me, are sex life has almost become non-existence and if he does go a day without playing, he doesn't say anything to me. The game isn't the problem. We use to play together but a couple hours here and there. He doesn't realize I have one foot out the door and I honestly don't even know if he cares. This is literally controlling every part of our life.

That sounds difficult, especially if he knows it upsets you but he continues to do it anyway. From what I have read, it is a form of addiction. Do you have any hobbies that you used to enjoy together that are non-electronic in nature? Perhaps you could ask him (while he's not playing) about planning a specific activity, then go from there? I wish you the best as you figure it out, though - not an easy spot to be in.
