My husband is 28 and we have been together 7 years. He has always enjoyed video games but i thought he would grow out of it. When the ps3 came out I bought it for him ( i thought we would both be able to enjoy it with the blu ray and all). Well, now his life revolves around this machine, He gets on it as soon as he walks through the door in rhe evenings. He does not even leave the coucto eat dinner with us, he just eats at the coffee table. I know they say it takes men longer to mature but this is crazy. Also, his friends seem to think this is the local hangout. I dont mind having company over but this everyday thing is getting out of hand. Not to mention they come over and eat all of our food and my kids juices, which would not be a problem if it wasnt everyday. I tell him when i am not in the mood for company, but someone is always knocking on our door. I have two kids, go to school, and work soo i am exhausted. how do i get him to grow up and be the man of the house rather than my (third child). Does anybody else have this issue, i mean he is not 15 anymore.

Hi Bryanna..!!!Its not like,men take long time to get matured.Your husband is just addicted to games...Now a days games have become much more addictive.Your husbands mind is habituated to play games.Its very hard to get diverted from games.You have to divert him from them by some other interesting things...You try to interfere in his gaming.Tell him that,your kids are getting distracted from their studies and they are not able to concentrate on their studies...Remind him that he got to take care of his family..Tell him that,he is not a kid..instead he got kids to be taken care of... You can easily get rid of this addiction by attracting him towards some other things..But it takes some time to come leave those games... All the best..!!!!N Have fun...!!!

Wow, you got him a Playstation 3?? Lucky guy. I want that so badly you don't even know, lol. I definitely understand his attachment to it. But the behavior of him and his friends need to change a little. First I would make sure that I take care of my wife and family before playing, lol, then bring on the games. Have you talked to him about this yet? I really do wish you well.
