I think my husband is an addict to technology. How do I deal?

Question

I hate having to share him with his video games, his computer, and the music he composes as a hobby. On his days off it's almost as if he were at work. Sigh. I know comparing is frowned upon, but I cannot help but compare him to my ex who would spend actual time with me by cooking together, doing dishes together, watching movies together all day... I miss those days. No wonder I fell in love with him. Well, it didn't work out for a reason-- but I cannot help but mss that closeness. My husband was very close to me and dedicated at first, but I guess the fisherman caught the fish. I've talked to him about this, and he said he will spend more time with me... with my ex, this was never even an issue. He just WANTED to spend time with me on our time off-- we'd cuddle together all day. Sigh.

Answer 1

maybe you should try doing things with him. or let him know that this is becoming a BIG problem in the relationship. you may have to come down to the whole its either me or your video games speech. i hope it works out the best for you

Answer 2

It sounds like you still have a thing for your ex.

Forget about him and try getting into what your husband likes and hopefully that will bring the 2 of you closer.

Answer 3

One person's trash is another person's treasure.  I would hate having my husband up my butt all day and vice versa.  I'm glad he has stuff to entertain himself with.  Some people are more touchy than others.  You'll just have to find a balance with him.  At least he said he would try & he didn't blow you off.  

Answer 4

start going braless

Answer 5

Honey we are in the same boat!!!!!!!! But if he works as hard as my husband does to provide for us and our son, then leave him alone because he loves you! It could be that we have so much time on our hands sometimes we could be bored but guess what they need that time! Because get this when he needs and wants attention from you he'll come around! Just think of all the hard work they do to take care of us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's called refrain from disrupting them! Be grateful to everything that we have and love them for the beautiful person that they are........................ Stop sighing....................
