This sounds so ridiculous but I am legitimately worried. Its not just "I cant get him off it" its how he acts too. Once he starts he's on it for the whole day. I've recently managed to get him to stop playing in the evenings but every weekend is the exact same. He says he'll only go on for a little bit and then seven hours later he's still on it. He's snappy and grumpy if I ask him to do even the littlest thing. He gets impatient with DD and tries to tell her to "wait till he's done this bit" when she's crying for a nappy change (she's 4mo ffs).
I got him to agree to turn it off at midday the other weekend but he was on it till half 4.
I told him I wanted to talk about it last weekend and he paused the game, listened to me say all this, gave me half a nod, a huff like he was thinking about it, then went back on his game. And started talking about it to me like I hadn't said anything! Whenever I try to talk to him when he's playing I get nothing or "did you say something" five minutes later.
I know he loves me and DD but it just feels like his brain gets sucked into a game and nothing else matters (spyKids 3 anyone?)
I don't know what to do, he's perfectly reasonable about it when he's off the game, sort of like how an alcoholic is perfectly reasonable when sober...
