my husband is a video game fanatic. Most men are i know, but its crazy. We dont have alot of extra money to go throwin into video games for his ps3, so on the rare occasion that we go out and he gets one, he does nothing but focus on that game. From the moment he puts it in the console he is in "the zone" hes a chain smoker and it takes all he can to get off the couch and have a cigarette! He doesnt "hear" the toddlers sitting next to him screaming for his attention, he doesnt feel the dog pulling at his pant leg to go out, he doesnt smell his favorite dinner sitting on the table which might as well be in the fridege because thats about as cold as it is when he gets to it, he doesnt sense that i want to get intimate with him... etc etc... i will go to bed and feel him climb in beside me at 2-3 in the morning.... when i get him up for work in the morning hes grumpy because "we" didnt get intimate and because he is over tired. Like i can control what time he goes to bed at night... !!! Most games he owns hes bought and beat in the first few days of owning it. then he complains later on down the road that he doesnt have any new games to play! What is it with men and video games? seriously!!

i dont have the issue with my husband and video games i have that issue with my husband and his cats or his bed.. LOL what i mean is that he is in bed most of the time napping from the time he gets out of work until the time that i climb into bed for the night.. then he will get up and play with his cats or roam the house and talk with his cats. during the day while he is at work i dont see him, when he comes home its right to our bedroom turns on his tube and naps with his cats... sometimes i think that i would rather it be video games then maybe he would have a better excuse

Well... o_O They are fun to play ^_^ And theyre like a break from the real hard world :) It just takes your mind off your problems and the pressure at work and so on :) ...Besides , if you find a nice game that is close to your likings , it can be like for a moment there you live in your dream world :) And even tho youve most likely done it , you could always say "Because you were too busy playing" when hes mad about something and asks "why" xD ... For men playing games just like for women to watch soap operas or eating chocolates or talking about ppl with other women :) ...Just men have to do that in the late evening after work , so its more noticeable :)
