Didn’t include in the first post BUT, any advice for how I should deal with this? I’m lost, tried everything pretty much.

Pretty much what the captions says I (25f) have had an issue with my husband (26m) playing his game recently, I’ve always been aware that he’s had some sort of addiction but when I try to say something about it he’ll get defensive and say ‘well I’m not like you’ (in reference to how I don’t ignore my children for hours while I’m on the game) which shocks me. He is NOT a professional gamer, though I’ve told him several times that if he did this for work I’d be fine with that. When I ask him to spend time with us for a day, he IMMEDIATELY shows discomfort or discontent with the idea. A huff, a sigh, or a really long moment of contemplation. Whereas for his game, not a second friggin thought.

The other night, he got in bed to spend time with us and he grabbed his remote and kept playing while we were watching a movie.

I just want connection. I’m fed up with having to get my children some of his undivided attention.

I’m tired. I’m angry. I’m well aware this isn’t therapy, I’m already doing that.

I just want to know if I’m crazy for asking my husband for crumbs of his attention the way he gives it to his game. We’ve spoken several times about this and he always seems to ‘relapse’. I’m about ready to leave this marriage.

TLDR: husband won’t give his family attention like he does his game and it’s been happening for years.
