Well Im lucky my hubby is this addictive to games and stays stuck on them, but one method you could do to get him off, is to seduce him

My husband loves to play with his PSP but he is always ready to stop immediately and willing to help me out if I call out to him for anything. He also makes it a point to stop his game every few minutes to come and see me to give me hugs and kisses. Thus, I don't have any problems with him playing games as much as he wants. I know I don't have to do anything to get his attention as it is always there and it doesn't hinder with anything that has to be done around the house.

I hate playing games. Utter waste of time.

But I am always tinkering with my computer. Or looking at sites & their vulnerabilities.

My husband isn't like that at all, so I am very lucky. My sisters husband is a slug! He gets on the computer and plays games for hours at a time.

I guess if you want your husbands attention to be away from the games, give him something else to focus on. Pay more attention to him and it may just make him realize you are more fun than the games.

Ahh that's really sweet, so he does what he wants, but also at the same time he gives you attentions and shows you love!

I so know what you mean. Me and my neighbor were just talking about this. Her husband stays up til 4 am and plays the PS2 and doesn't help her at all with her four kids and one is disabled. My husband used to play til the wee hours as well until his new job sometimes keeps him out late,so by the time he gets home he has no interest in playing the game.

My husband has one online game that he likes to play on occasion. It is not anywhere near addiction though, and if I need something, he'll get up and do it. I feel so sorry for women whose husbands waste their lives gaming.

Well there are some solutions to that:
1. Switch of his game console. He might be angry for some time with you but after a while he will realise his mistake.
2. Ask for help from a electronics student of 3rdyear or sixth semester (they can do that) to design a remote hardware by which you can switch of his console if you are feeling he had sit there for quite long.
3. Ask what he like except gaming & try to indulge him in those activities.
4. If all these fails become his second in command in gaming. & make him lost his game. He will lose interest in it.
5. Sold his game console if every thing fails. He will be mad for few days but hopefully you know how to press right buttons & get him happy again.

I'm not married, but might as well be, because I live with my bf and have been dealing with exactly what you're saying for some time now. It's a terrible feeling cuz it makes me wonder if I'm good enough or if he really loves me.

I hate being ignored! The only thing that helps me get his attention is by coming up with something, like a date day or something like that. Compromising is probably the best thing and being honest and open about how you feel.

Congratulations Kat!!!! I am very happy to hear it. It is a rare situation when a guy realizes he's got a problem, faces it, and takes drastic measures to solve it, like your husband did. Good for him! And for you!!

No, I cannot say my husband has ever caused me a problem like that.

The only thing he needs to be in control of is the television remote. LOL!!

I think every single man has that particular issue. The remote seems to be magical for them and they just can't drop it for the life of them. I used to get mad as my husband kept on changing the channel in the middle of shows, but thankfully he grew out of it and doesn't do it anymore...

My husband loves to play the PS2 also. From time to time he spends time with it. I am not really bothered at all since every time I need him, he is ready to help me. He just plays when he have extra time, or he is off from work.

Congratulations, for your successful training of your husband, Kat. Maybe you could share some pointers on how you did it.

LOL, that's a great idea, but I'm aiming for no TV at all in the house. If I added another TV, that would defeat the whole purpose
