“My husband and I have been together for 10 years and married for a few months now. I'm 26, and he's 28. From the get-go I understood gaming was his hobby. However, his gaming habit has recently caused a rift in our relationship. Because of his constant gaming, I must pick up the slack. I feel like his mother. For example, when he’s gaming and I need him to help with dinner or to take out the trash, he only helps when his games allow it. It’s become such a nuisance. We’ve had many conversations about his gaming, and we’ve come to an arrangement that he should spend two days in the week off his computer. Therefore, he plays games five out of seven days a week. This arrangement satisfied me for a while, but he’s still shirking his responsibilities as a partner. Recently, I’ve been feeling alone, depressed and sad. I’ve been seriously contemplating leaving. My husband is the type to coast in life, and he has no ambitions, plans, goals or anything of that sort. I am not that way. I’m outgoing. I want to open my own business, which he has told me wants to no part of. I have a career plan that I’m working on, and I’m in school. I fear we’re just not cut out for each other, and I’m disappointed it took me this long to realize that his gaming was going to cause such a huge issue in our marriage. I’ve cried many times feeling like he doesn’t take me seriously or prioritize our marriage. We recently had another conversation, and it went nowhere. Should I give him an ultimatum? Or should I leave and find someone else who is husband material.” 🎮 What would you do in this situation? Let us know in the comments.
