I have a dilemma. I dont spend enough time with my husband. And I mean actually as far as sitting down and talking to each other. He comes home from work and immediately the TV goes on and doesnt go off until we go to bed. I try to get him to turn the TV off and he gets angry. So, I bury myself in my laptop and mind my own business because I dont like to watch TV all the time. I have tried playing video games with him but last time I accidentally caused his death in the game so he got angry at me over it and was mad the whole night and talked to me like i was garbage. What on earth can i do? I would love to get rid of the TV and the games altogether but he wont let it happen. It is consuming his mind and it bothers me. It is like he is escaping from life when he watches tv...i can have a whole conversation with him and he has no idea what i say because he was listening to the TV. The TV always comes first. I need some advice here.

The first thing I would suggeust is to talk to him and tell him how you feel but i'm sure you've probablly already tryed that. Tell him how you feel it's more inportant than you and that's it's ruining your marraige. Hope fully that'll work cause I can't think of anything else.
