Raise your hand if the sight of your partner immersed in video games drives you wild. There’s nothing inherently wrong with gaming; in fact, video games have helped many of us cope during times of isolation, right? Whether it’s adults or kids playing, the gaming world has evolved significantly since the ’90s, and it can be quite entertaining.

However, what isn’t entertaining is feeling neglected by a partner who seems to be addicted to gaming. How many times can we remind them to take out the trash, fold the laundry, or just help out when they’re completely absorbed in their virtual worlds? Many parents are fed up with their partners prioritizing video games over family responsibilities.

During the pandemic, I lost my job and my mother received a devastating diagnosis. My partner, however, seems more interested in gaming than in supporting me. I’m at a breaking point—this constant worry is exhausting.

Confession #1: “I dread weekends because I know he’ll just be glued to the screen, ignoring everything else.”

Confession #2: “My partner would rather play video games than be intimate. I walked in wearing something nice, and he barely noticed.”

Confession #3: “I can’t stand the endless hours he spends gaming every day!”

It’s as if a disaster could strike, and he would still be focused on his console instead of helping around the house. While I’m juggling work, homeschooling, and caring for our kids, he’s content to sit and play. Why does he wonder why intimacy has dwindled?

Confession #4: “He barely showers and only wants to game all day. I’m fed up!”

Confession #5: “His idea of a good night is staying up late gaming while I’m up early managing everything.”

It’s infuriating that some partners prioritize their gaming over spending quality time with family or even basic hygiene. Do these men realize the example they’re setting for their kids? Yes, everyone deserves personal time, but ignoring responsibilities for gaming is unacceptable.

Sometimes, I wish I could trade places with my partner, spending my days gaming while he managed the household.

Confession #6: “He thinks that going to work excuses him from helping at home. He eats, sleeps, and immediately returns to gaming.”

As we navigate life during quarantine, many have noticed a concerning trend: partners who are more invested in their games than in their families. Between managing kids and household chores, I often feel entirely overwhelmed while he seems unbothered.

If you’re also feeling frustrated with a partner’s gaming habits, you’re not alone. Many are looking for balance and connection in their relationships. For more on this topic, you can check out this insightful article on home insemination and explore further resources on development.
