video games ruin marriage

I bought my husband an xbox 360 for christmas because he wanted it really bad and he never gets anything for himself.  So I bought it for him and he's been attached ever since.  I go to bed alone most of the time and nothing gets done around the house unless I have a nutty.  On top of all that, my husband is a sore looser so there is lots of swearing and yelling at the idiots that play this game "CALL OF DUTY 4"  all over the world.  I dont understand what is the great thrill in playing a game that your mad at the whole time.  Of course I get the famous " your on the computer all the time" Well what the hell else do you want.... your not doing anything with me. I hate to say it but I'm jealous of a frickin video game.

video games are similar to internet chat. They're both addictive.  I've been reading you post and the thing that kept cropping up in my mind was this.  Why are you sitting around home waiting on him to do something you want.  Grab a girlfriend and go to the movies, create a social circle that improves your life.  Amazingly enough, it captures their attention if you're living and they're not.  Now, don't get me wrong, i'm not suggesting a friday night with the girls in a singles bar.  I'm talking about something that sounds fun, entertaining and might also interest him.  If he's like most typical guys, they hate missing out on something that other people enjoy.  How about a cook out at one your friends house that he also enjoys being around.  Gear up some entertainment and activities.  

I understand how you feel and i understand how your husband feels.  I've been on both side of the fence.  I just don't think people take enough action to correct the problem that is solved by video games.  Just a thought
