1st Trimester
husband is a lunatic.
ok so he's kind of obsessed with call of duty, and he was just playing so bad he actually punched himself in the face mid game. i cant believe it. he usually yells, curses or at worst punches his leg, but this is a whole new level.idk what to do. hes been on for 5 hours strait, not to mention this morning's session..
and by the way, i am so sick, and yea, he went out and got some food for me, but that even took some pleading, and of course it was cause he was playing his game.
thanks for letting me vent. anyone else have this problem or some advice??

Re: husband is a lunatic.
You are not alone. Mine, too, has punched himself in the face (more than once)...and in his thigh (that one left a bruise). And, he's been playing video games all day...first on his computer, now on the x-box live...I went out to dinner with his mom, and brought him home dinner...so at least yours got dinner for you, right?

he picked up speggetios (sp?) cause i havent eaten since weds (stomach virus). and he got back late and missed a match and he flipped out.. it so rediculous.
hes very competitive and isnt doing sports, so he takes his frustration and stuff out on this game
yea he's left bruises on his legs too. Im at a loss.
Mine likes his games, but definitely plays less now than he did when we were in college. I call it progress...as for today, he's been sick all week and finally took today off to relax, so I let it go...for today...
One of our best friends lives in Florida, so X-box live is kind-of how they stay connected (they play NHL '08 mostly). They pretty much play one or two nights per week. I can deal with that, at least until the baby comes. Even then, he'll still be able to play, but even he admits it will be significantly less than he does now.

yea he was sick all week too.. he took off mon-today and i got sick around weds night.
he has played everyday this week pretty much all day long. usually he just plays after work.
I feel bad cause theres a 3 yr old girl living downstairs and he screams curses so loud.. and i have a pounding headache.
oh. and I fell asleep on the couch earlier (havent slept since tues night) and he started playing and woke me up by his yelling. i feel like breaking the cd in half.?
Yep. I know how you feel. Mine also goes into a coma-like state when he watches T.V. Dont they know we need all of their attention? We are sacrificing our comfort and our bodies to create something that is half theirs!
UHG!
If it were me I would wait till he went to the bathroom or something...steal the controller and hide it. And when hes freaking out just look at him all sad and say If you cuddle with me for 15 minutes with no complaining I will give you back the controller.
It might backfire...but its more of a fantacy than a plan. lol good luck. boys will be boys...I gusse thats why I really want a girl.

It's a lifestyle choice. That's all I can figure out.
Your husband has a problem and it's only going to get worse. What's going to happen when you have a baby?? Seriously?
Studies have shown that violence begets more violence especially with these video games. Get rid of the damn box. How is he supposed to be a partner to you? What's he going to do punch the baby when the baby cries and he's not able to play his game??
My step son is in his last year of high school and played WOW all the time up until this past summer. In an effort to dedicate himself to his final year, he and his best friend killed their characters off on the WOW so they wouldn't be distracted.
I'm thinking that a few fathers to be out there could learn from this. 7-8 hrs of video game playing IS a problem.?

My husband is an xbox freak too. But he's doing much better with it lately than when we first got together. He usually only plays a few games at a time. Sundays are usually worse because he can team up with his brother and such - but as long as he's not doing it all day I don't mind.
I sometimes try to play with him so at least we're doing something together. I'm trying to get him to get us a wii (more my style of games) so we can play more co-op games.
Also, I've found watching him play call of duty 5 is a great way for me to fall asleep
That is until he starts hollaring at the tv and wakes me up. Then I get pretty annoyed. lol
haha to the satan tools.
yea, i asked him the same thing, what happens if the baby stresses you out, are you going to punch something then? but he says thats?ridiculous.?
yeah, i feel you. I bought this game for my hubby for xmas and honestly I'm not a big gamer. Last weekend your scenario sounds quite similar to mine. So, I got up and grabbed the controller and started playing with him, It was sooo much fun! Plus, he was nicer to me and more willing to get up and get me food and stuff cuz we played together. Honestly, you should try it. I'm sure you'll have fun.

My DH has recently been obsessed with a role playing game called something Oblivion. For two weeks straight he came home from work and played for 5,6,7 hours until bed time. On several occasions he wouldn't even come to bed with me ( at like midnight!) and stayed up until he remembered he needed to sleep. He always told me that going to bed together was very important to him, so of course this made me feel like he didn't value me anymore the way he used to and that this video game was more important than me.
We had a long talk about it the other night and he told me that he thinks he was using the game to escape reality and the pressure of becoming a 1st time dad. I've also not been wanting sex and actually have a physical problem where sex is *excruciatingly* painful, so he says he was playing because he was tired of pursuing me and wanting sex, but getting turned down night after night (we did plenty of other things, btw, I didn't let him go totally without!).
Long story short, he gave me the video game and I'm hiding it. He realized he was addicted to it and it was letting him escape from his responsibilities.
Dunno if anyone else has gone through that exactly, but thats my story. I'm really thankful we're on the other side of that couple weeks, it was really upsetting.
I find it surprising that not too many ladies on here play video games. maybe real-life interaction would prevent DH's from injuring themselves.
babies seem much less complicated now.
