Dh's who play video games

I was wondering on average how long do they play and how many days a week do they play.

My DH is obsessed with x-box 360 and plays everyday for at least 2-3 hours. It is really starting to bother me. I was just wondering how long everyone elses play.. thanks

He plays about 3x a week for an hour each time. Usually before dinner.

Did you tell him it was bothering you?

Re: Dh's who play video games

ok mine is a big gamer! he plays EVERYDAY before he goes to work for at least 2-3 hours sometimes more. but i look at this way...he's not out at a bar or hanging out doing God knows what with his single friends. whenever i start to feel myself getting upset i just remind myself that he's home with me and to be happy about that. Chat Icon

i try to sit in the room with him so we can chit chat while hes playing. he loves it and i cant take that away from him.

eta: now if your problem is that there's only one tv in the house then yea i'd yell too! Chat Icon he's gotta learn to share!

Re: Dh's who play video games

It depends...if we have nothing to do, he can be there ALL day...but generally maybe an hour or two on a weeknight if there is nothing we want to watch on TV.

he know is bothers me, we always argue about it. He plays about 5 times a week for at least2 hours. He has played one time from 8:00pm to 5:00am and the only reason he stopped was b/c I woke up and last night he played until 6;00am then went straight to work and did not sleep at all. He just came home from work and went to bed.Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

Re: Dh's who play video games

does he have something important to do? what would you rather him do?

being a gamer myself...things that need to get done (dinner, wash), spending quality time with DW and so on come first.

everybody has things they do in there spare time...his might only be playing video games...

same exact thing for me, I have no idea. But I can only imagine its hours on end because he "works" from home which leaves him with a lot of free time on his hands.

Re: Dh's who play video games

DH is an avid gamer....consoles AND computer.
but being the stand up man that he is, sold his units because we needed the money.

Since having kids....it is/was down to only a few hours a week for his down time.

He's been playing the new Half Life game on the computer

He knows it bothers you but still does it? Are you sure he knows it bothers you this much... maybe you should talk to him about it again.

Re: Dh's who play video games

DH is a big time gamer. He can play all night long. There was a time when it bothered me, but I realized, he is not out drinking and gambling, he is home. Last night he played until 4AM, and I got to sleep.

Re: Dh's who play video games

My DH isn't a big gamer at all. He enjoys it, but goes for months at a time without touching the thing. If he gets a new game he'll play it more until the novelty wears off. Then, it's about 3-4 times per week for 30-45 minutes until he beats the game. Then it goes away again for months.

Re: Dh's who play video games

DH will play about an hour or 2, 2-3 times a week..AFTER the baby is asleep.
He'll play XBox..I hop online.
Once every few months him and the guys will have "game night" which is fine with me, the ladies sit and chit chat all night.Chat Icon

Oooh...He informed me today, he is looking into PS3 (with his Christmas bonus)..It's fine with me, as long as he keeps still 2-3 times a week and still helps out with the baby and household stuff first (cleaning, dishes, etc.)

DH used to play about an hour or two per day, but now he rarely plays. It used to bother me. Especially when I would come over and wind up sitting by myself while he played.

Re: Dh's who play video games

My dh plays at night after our son goes to bed. If I'm not on here, I'll play with him. He bought me an account and a headsetChat Icon so we could play together. We've been up to 3am playing some nights.Chat Icon

I would say about 5 nights a week he plays...for about 4-5 hours a night.
