Courtney, I don't know your husband, but I would just wait for a time when he's in a good mood and NOT playing video games, and calmly and respectfully tell him that you love him and want to spend more time with him. Do NOT come across as naggy or whiny....guys just tune that out.

There is a good chance that he uses the games to blow off some steam and unwind after work, but he does need to set some reasonable limits. Just make sure he knows that you're bringing it up because you love him so much! ;)

I lived with my boyfriend for three years. When I first moved in with him, I found that he would be gone an average of 11-14 hours as a full time college student and working at his family restaurant, so when he came home he would go straight to either professional wrestling or video games. For about 5 months I was jobless and home by myself, wanting to talk when he came home. He said he was too tired to talk. I knew he loved me and we had the best conversations on monday during his day off, even though he had school work he always took time out on monday to spend with me.

I had quite a few choices, especially since I wasn't married, but I thought this man is working so hard to better himself so that we can have a better future. So I compromised, I sat close to him while he played the games and began to learn everything there was to know about video games and wrestling and we had something to talk about while he enjoyed his games. Other times I would just read a book or chat with my family or friends on the phone, but I still stayed close.

Still I was glad when I did finally get a job and I was gone during the day as well. Which makes me wonder do you work at all or are you in one of those job seeking phases in life?

Anyhow, I'm sure you knew this before you married so it is the choice you made. It's not the most horrible thing to join in another's interests.

I have had fun in the past shocking a group of boys with my knowledge, when I do not look anywhere near someone who knows anything about either. Lol

If he isn't listening to you suggest counseling. if he has no interest go yourself. Another suggestion what are your interests? Do something you enjoy. But make sure if it doesn't change you figure out what you want for yourself.
