Are video/online/computer games ruining your marriage/relationship?
I’ve been hearing many women online talking about how their husbands spend hours online or playing video or computer games, to the point where it is ruining their marriages. Some have said their husbands basically eat, sleep, work and then come home and spend the rest of their time on the game. I’d like to know if this really is a problem out there or not. (If it is, I’d like to write a magazine article about it to make people more aware of the problem.)
That’s pretty much all my husband does. He does take breaks from the computer to watch TV, though. Usually, if he’s home, he’s on the computer. I spend much of my time at the computer, as well, but it’s mostly because I’m trying to spend time with him. We definitely don’t do very much together or talk very much. I try to talk to him, sometimes, while he’s playing his games but he doesn’t really pay attention to what I’m saying. I’m usually ready to go to bed at 10:00 while he stays up till 2:00 a.m. (& later) on the computer. I guess I’ve gotten used to living like this but I can’t say that I’m happy.
