My husband will come home after work and play video games all night. He is begining to be late to work because of staying up all night for more than one night in a row. If anyone has any experience with this please leave your imput. If you think you might know then i would like your imput as well.

Same with my husband, he is always playing xbox360 like he is right now. It can be diffcult to pull him away from it alot of the time. Once in a blue moon i'll play a game with him I hope he grows out of this phase soon because it is driving me up a tree.

well, he doesnt have to wait in line because he is the only one who plays. But he will play all night despite how long i stay up waiting for him to be done, because i hate going to bed alone. I slept on the couch last while i was waiting for him to stop playing. lol. it's so pathetic. I have no clue what my husband is thinking. I dont think he does think. lol

Oh no I meant wait in line if he is going to buy the playstation 3 because so many men want to buy one. My husband waited all night at Best Buy to go in and buy the xbox360. I wait up for my husband also.lol

try switching to movies or partys....
in the early days when the game relese's we pashionatly play for hours but later we lose intrest and get back to other intresting stuff..
if u can turn his attention to any other stuff then he might reduce playing vidio games...

I seryiously think that you should talk to him about this problem long and hard. If there is a reason for him to play games all night, pry it out of him. If there is not do what I do and lock the console at least an hour before he comes home. I am 18, and I always play on my DS until 10:00pm (Montgomery, AL time, if you live in the Eastern Time Zone). I just go to sleep and plan the next day. I am sure you will find a solution to all of this. Good Luck!

I think you should accompany him in the video game and you will see after someday if will want to stay with you than video game...as he will see that you have to stay awake because of him..
