Just wondering who else out there is pushed over the limit with the amount of time their SO is playing games...either on the computer or other video games.

yup, jason plays pretty much all day. he gets home from work and goes straight to his game and sometimes he doesnt even come out to see the kids and me till 5 mins before its time for them to go to bed. Its getting really old. Sometimes i dont mind because we are busy doing things or i dont feel like listening to him tease my kids especially Tyler.

Seems like thats all db does...especially now that he just got his new laptop. :(

actually when he plays games he plays them with me. like we play harry potter the NBA Minority Report and other games. If I dont play he dont play. Not cause I wont let him jusrking together as a team, nd eachother and like working together as a team, we feel it makes our marriage stronger.

My hubby used to be REAL bad about the video games. Enough that when we were dating it got bad enough that I considered leaving him because if it. I felt like he was always choosing video games over time with me. Eventually he got the picture and realized that it was really affecting our relationship and he cut down majorly.

He still plays them, but he does it when I am on the computer or I'm not home etc. He never puts them before me or chooses them over time with me.

i voted for he doesnt play much. BUT he certainly COULD if i would allow it. i put my foot down about a month after we got married, i told him an hour a day, after that its family time.

My DH plays but he is really good about not playing too much. If I want to do something and I actually have something in mind he will usually stop playing and go with me. The game he usually plays is Counter Strike and since he deployed I have gotten into it so now when he comes back he is getting a new computer so we can play together. :D

I dont even think he plays them at all but my x-fiance played them ALL day and it got on my nerves.

DB plays but not THAT much. He plays when he's around his friends and stuff. but whenever I come around he never plays. I'm sure that would/will change when we get married of course, he'll get bored of me and I'll get bored of him. But I wouldn't mind learning to play so I think we will find a compromise somewhere....

I divorced the one who played video games 24/7

I choose other. We do play a lot, but since neither one of us is into tv and we tend to like to be hermits we play the computer together. Once the kids have gone to bed its our time together.

He plays a lot but it could be worse and sometimes he doesn't play at all.

DH used to play video games every day and sometimes 3 or 4 separate times a day.... but a couple months ago I put my foot down and said he was playing too much. He cut back and now probably only plays one or two hours a week tops.....

I'm waiting for him to put his foot down on my computer time.... for me I'd rather surf on here than watch TV so it's kind of the same as sitting on the couch watching the tube, which he does constantly.

I voted he plays but not that much.
He plays WOW a little bit everyday but if I need him or want to do something or just talk he will drop it all. Its a fun thing for him but we mean more and always will. I will watch him play and have played myself too.

I said other, because he used to play a whole lot more then he does now. Like to the point where it nearly flew through the living room window, over the balcony, and down to the ground.

DH has never really gotten into games, we have a playstation that sits in the TV hutch gathering dust, we don't even think about spending our money on those types of things. He and I spend time together watching our fave TV shows for about an hour or two some nights, but most of the time we go out for a scenic drive when the weather permits. He's too busy with his work and his side jobs to play games, he's always on his computer sitting next to me on the couch working on house plans to earn us some extra cash. I don't mind because it's something constructive, and I have a laptop too so I sit with him and surf the web or digitally scrapbook.
