Forever alone

By Perry Winkle - 03/05/2024 07:00 - United States

Today, all I wanted was to spend some time with my husband, since we're always very busy. He couldn't be bothered to put down his video game. Guess I'm forever alone, even in a relationship. FML

For every couple there are times when we crave some alone time and times we crave together time. Managing that is one of the keys to getting along - And that requires person to person communication, but not in a hostile or accusatory way… If this is not a frequent problem, don’t overblown it and turn it into a big issue. But if it is a frequent problem then you need to find a compromise.

Have you tried gaming with him? He likely needs a mindless break from what all has happened to unwind. So if you want time with him, try gaming with him.

**** that. he can't be bothered to want to connect with his wife, but you damn well know he'll whine up a storm if the food isn't made, the laundry isn't done, or the sex isn't on tap.

Set up dates, so you can mutually agree on a time to be together. The problem here is that you see his gaming as "time not spent on you" rather than "something that's important to him"... basically, entitlement. You have to understand that his hobbies and activities are as important to him as yours are to you, even if YOU don't happen to like or even support his activities.
