But there is NOTHING that could make me keep my kids in that situation one more minute after discovering that information. And his ass would be reported to the authorities, if I didn't kill him myself first. I'm not trying to make her feel guilty. To tell you the truth, I don't give a rats ass how she feels. I care about those kids. Read the post...most of it is all me me me when her kids are in potential danger of being screwed up for life. Thats a little alarming to me. It didn't sound like she fully got the seriousness there concerning her kids, and I felt the need to tell her. Anyhow, I didn't mean to bash on the gamer commenters, I do understand that and I apologize. I just hated to see 2391 slipping under the radar and it did make me a little sad that I didn't see more concern being voiced for those kids.

Your behavior is tiny when compared to the grievances your husband appears to have committed. <BR/><BR/>It sounds as though he is not as interested in his relationship with you as he is in gaming, which is unhealthy and unfair to you. I'm not going to ask if he's always been this way, but if he has always been this way, you may want to consider the idea that he will probably never change.<BR/><BR/>It also sounds as though this may be an unhealthy addiction for him which he's nursed for some time. He may not be able to quit on his own.<BR/><BR/>How you handle the inequality in your relationship is entirely up to you-- and if he's let himself go weight-wise and is no longer attractive to you, that's yet another case of him not being invested enough in the relationship to make compromises. I read Dan Savage a lot, and as he says, you have no obligation to sex with a partner who won't take care of himself to stay attractive for you. <BR/><BR/>And since I still don't know the whole situation, I would suggest these two things without knowing entirely whether they'd work in your situation at all:<BR/><BR/>1. Choose a night for yourself, once or twice a week/month, when you call a babysitter and let yourself do whatever you want to do. Your husband is spending your shared money on hotels, you can spend it on a babysitter every once in a while. You deserve it. If your husband has heard how much you need a break and refuses to help give you one, then you must take one yourself so you can continue being a whole person and healthy parent.<BR/><BR/>You could potentially make these babysitter nights as frequent as your husband's avoidance tactics, but I'd say do it regularly enough that you feel restored, but not so much that you feel guilty about being away from your child. I'm sorry your husband can't seem to put yourself or your family first, but you must step up where he's failed and take care of yourself.<BR/><BR/>2. Demand that he pay you back once a month. One weekend a month, you take the dogs and toddler to your parents and have a weekend with him alone. Where you both get to relax and eat out. And if he can't invest this time in you, he may not really be interested in the relationship anymore. Try not to turn this into an ultimatum unless you really feel done with the relationship-- this is a dangerous card to pull if you still want to be with him (the "invest in me or I'm out" card, I mean).<BR/><BR/>Forget about the "month" he's built up up to now. Start fresh from your next discussion of this matter.<BR/><BR/>And, taking into account what 10:43 said, perhaps you should email him with your thoughts/suggestions on the matter so when he gets home he's had time to digest it.<BR/><BR/>**hugs** Best of luck to you.omnia_vincit_amorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17027778928923110846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29562711.post-42278322701110202162008-03-11T16:23:00.000-04:002008-03-11T16:23:00.000-04:002393That is a completely different situation, it i...2393<BR/><BR/>That is a completely different situation, it is still irresponsible to assume all gamers are like that.

He told me he was going to quit when the toddler was a newborn. "What would you rather your husband be doing? Staying home with you?" Is that such a crazy notion? Truthfully, I probably wouldn't mind it so much if he got home on time when he says he will. I'm sick of being last on his list. He leaves work on time if he's meeting them or going away for the weekend with them. Me and the toddler get told he'll be home eventually. Sometimes he gets home in time to read a story. It probably wouldn't be so bad if it were just once a week. But, no, he stays up late writing games and making up characters and has yelled at me for "disturbing" him from this. He also does not exercise at all and is more than 100 lbs overweight. <BR/> Omnia, 6:50, 3:00: I have met these guys. Some of them have negative social skills. When they were in my house (my house, that I cleaned and stocked ), and I came down and said hello, they ignored me. This was during a break, they all looked at me, and then turned away without saying anything. No nods, no greetings, no acknowledgement at all. Rude much? I was so shocked I left the room.<BR/> I understand having interests outside the home. In the three years since the toddler was born, my "outside interests" have included paid work and a once a month book club at the library. At this rate, he "owes" me a month's vacation. When he goes away for the weekend, he stays in hotels and eats out and leaves everything at home to me (and gets upset if I haven't cleaned the house). When I go away for the weekend, I take the toddler and the dogs with me and stay with family. And yes, I have discussed this with him. He doesn't care. He doesn't have the time to "pay me back." He's working all the time, because that's important, yes, and then he wants to spend his leisure time with people he barely knows.<BR/> I am not withholding sex to punish him; I find it hurtful that he would rather do this than spend time with me. It makes me feel the opposite of sexy and loving when he does this, especially reneging on a promise.

It is completely normal and healthy for people in a relationship to have and pursue outside interests. Gamers are not all losers. I can see it being an issue if your husband is gaming all the time, all day, and not paying any attention to you or kids at all, or not working because of it. But one night a week? That should be something that is GOOD for the relationship. Do you have interests that you pursue? Does he hold down the fort while you go out once a week? If he doesn't, talk to him about it: you will probably find that you like it and may see his venture from a different POV.<BR/><BR/>As for the withholding sex, that is completely immature. And it seems that you are so smug that it took so long for your husband to "figure out" that his gaming is why you are withholding sex. Hmmm, how about just TELLING him what's bothering you? It's quite effective when you try it.
