My husband is so into video games and friends that it seems he has no time for me anymore! And when I talk to him about it he says Im home and he conciders that spending time with me!

Boys will be boys! Many times it is impossible to get a man to see the difference between "being in the same house at the same time" and "spending time TOGETHER". You can talk until you're blue in the face and he will not understand what you want. I have learned to find something to do myself; get on the computer, read, clean, or even go out shopping or meet friends. Let him play games if he wants. Remember, you still have a life to live.

Men and thier toys. I have learned over the years that no matter what you do men are selfish by nature. I love my husband but I know that when sports are on that is it no matter what he says.

Well I believe you should be happy he is home and not out somewhere else but I dont consider playing video games spending time with you.Better get a handle on it before it is to late,there is a time for games and a time for family and he needs to learn what is most important.

My husband sometimes will act the same as yours. Because he is a part time muiscian, he loves to keep in touch with his friends and arrange as many gigs as possible. So he would glue to the computer for a long time. I used to argue about this with him but did not seem work. Now thanks to Mylot, I have my time devote to the site and don't care his ignorence. (We have two computers at home). Slowly, he not only realizes it, but also try to spend times with me. Sometimes he jokes that mylot is my boyfriend...LOL

I have experienced this, right now as i am here doing mylot he is sitting in the room beside me playing playstation2 online, and he is into his game and if i said something he probually wouldnt hear me even though we are only 2 feet apart, but this is what he calls spending time with me. I fortunatly dont have to compete with friends as he dont keep very many. I mind it sometimes but then i think that well i am on here and he isnt bothering me to get off or things like that so i let him go. But it would be nice to have a conversation with him form time to time.

my husband used to be the same and it would really annoy me, if it wasnt the video games it was the internet, and if i talked to him it was like talking to a brick wall, now though we made an agreement that we would spend one day aweek just together watching films, walking anything as long as it was together, we also arranged that we would spend at least an hour each night just talking about out day etc. it certainly makes a differnce and now i dont mind so much if he plays his games (although i can still feel a little lonely at times)

If your husband ignore you all the time, it will lead to marriage wreckage. I mean, two people need communication to make their love grow stronger. Communication is the key for a relationship to last long. In your case, what I can suggests is for you try to jive in his hobbies. Like entering his "world". If he likes video games, why not join in. Maybe with that you will be more close to your husband. When you both enjoy playing, start to have conversations. It's a slow process but it can help.

hi honey. first of all welcome to mylot you newbie you!! my hubby is like that in a way. he LOVES him some video games...it's so frustrating. BUT i tell myself that he IS home, he's not out at some bar all the time. he DOES spend time with the family outside of video games, so at least that's good. but i would rather him be in the other room playing, than out clubbin, drinkin and pickin up other chicks! i just don't understand the whole video game fascination...
