what would u do

Im 40 weeks one 1 day. And i think i cant go into labour because of my husbsnd he plays computer games 24/7 when he's not at work. Im scared that he won't be there for me he told my next door neighbor that he wont be at the hospital because there is things to be done at home. But i cant even get him to feed our dog because of the game its getting that bad he wont even stop to eat dinner with me. On a firday for the past 8 yrs we would take a shower together that has now stopped.  He wont come to bed until 2-3 in the morning. I feel very unloved and dont wont our son to feel the same.

Does he have anything like depression going on?  He's self medicating with porn and gaming it sounds like.  I'd try to get him to see a doctor.  Is he a former addict of drugs or drinking or anything?  Because addicts will switch what they abuse when something is taken away.  I'm sorry you are dealing with this hon.  Hard stuff.

This is very unhealthy hon.  In reading your post, adults don't sit and play games from wake up to bed time.  Doesn't he have any work to do around your place or anything else he cares about?  It sounds to be at the level of addiction and that is very difficult to live with.  Just like any addiction is difficult to live with.  They put their 'drug' of choice ahead of you and in your guys case, it's the game.  

I guess try to talk to him but he'll resist it.  I'd make the gaming system disappear.  It would just be gone and he'd hit the roof but so be it.  good luck

Do you know that gaming can become like an addiction?  That it is a way of avoiding feeling or doing things.  It's very unhealthy and I'd be concerned about this.  11 year olds get lost in a game, grown men don't.  

I'd get rid of your gaming system.  I'd sell it.  Because it is a barrier to to true intimacy.  And making your conversations about gaming with someone that is out of control with it is like drinking with an alcoholic.  

good luck

The new destiny from when ge wakes up to when he goes to bed. Because he talks to the plays on line i cant talk to him because he is to busy talking to them. And when he dose talk to me its only about the game at first it pissed me off. But now i talk about it so we actally talk.

Ask him why is he doing so. Is there something in his mind thats making him tense. I guess games are just veil to hide anguish... it may be anything.
If its just addiction... then after games he sud be with you... just talk to him and try to placate
