Is your SO a gamer?
I was reading a post on TB about some bumpie complaining that her H plays video games for 5-6 hours a day! And someone commented something like "My H is only allowed to play after LO is asleep." But... when does that leave any time for DH&DW just hanging out?
I don't know if I'm just in total culture shock because my H is not a gamer at all. Every couple of weeks he will go to his friend's place for game night, but he only really goes to hang out with his friends.
What do you think? How much gaming is too much?
Re: Is your SO a gamer?
If DH wanted to sit for hours and play video games we would have a serious problem. I have a friend with a husband that does this, and I don't get it.
We don't own any sort of gaming system at all.
...hello out there!
dx with anovulatory PCOS 2005
off bcp 11/11
a few rounds of clomid and femara... no response.
injectables/IUI 12/12... BFN
Feb 13 IVF cycle converted down to IUI due to low follicle response... BFFN
one last IVF attempt April/May 2013: 19 retrieved. 10 fertilized. 2 transferred in a 3dt. 4 frosties... BFP!!
EDD: 1/21/14... Induced early at 36+6. Our LO was born 12/30/13
Not at all. We don't even own a gaming system. We will play Wii or kinect @ someone's house, but that's it. I wouldn't mind getting one of those if we could afford it, because at least they are more active.
Oh yeah.
He has gotten MUCH better, but when he's very stressed out or he's too bored, it gets to be too much.
It has definitely been a sore spot in our marriage.
Daily is too much, IMO.
My DH is funny. He can go months without playing but can also get very into it when he does play and would happily go on for hours. I guess he's a man of extremes.
I actually encourage him to play. He's a workaholic and even when he's not working he's got a self-imposed to-do list that's miles long. I try to get him to relax a little more (if only so I don't feel like such a bum, ha).
Mine plays on the computer but unlike games like World of Warcraft (which has guilds that play at certain times which my XH did and was an issue for us), he can play whenever.
This is pre LO, we will have to see what happens in August but generally I'm watching food network, on TN TB, FB while he's playing so it's not a problem.
Plays maybe once a week but sometimes not at all and then the next week, 2 to 3 times. As long as it shakes out and we have tons of time together, I like being able to watch what I want on tv, lol.
