To be worried about him?

[anxious1012]

Bought my DH PlayStation at Christmas. Thought nothing of it to be honest, thought we'd play some of the games we played when we were younger and it would be a fun thing to have in the house.... first few months it was barely used and when it was it was fun.

Recently though my DH has got a war game and is on it CONSTANTLY to the point we've been late to family gatherings because he won't get off it to get ready.... at night I can hear him swearing at it whilst I'm in bed (I'm pregnant and very fatigued at the moment) and getting really agitated to the point he throws the controller across the floors. This morning I've discovered that in his anger he's squeezed the control that hard its got a huge crack in it!

He's not aggressive in "real life" but still, is it not a bit much? It seems like it's came from no where and surely when baby comes along it's not going to be ideal if this is still going on? .... or am I just being a kill joy and should be happy he's using the gift I got?!

maybe you should talk to him, and ask him to consider limiting his time on it. those things can be addictive, and its obviously bad if you are late to family gatherings because of it. all the best x

Oh sorry I should have said, I have spoken to him about it in terms of the amount of time on there and in particular the volume of the language at nighttime as I am desperately trying to rest.

He says he's doing no harm and I shouldn't try to control him - he also said he thinks I'm weird because I like being on time🤷🏼‍♀️

may be worth taking a peak at this, there is a quiz at the bottom

Not sure about your situation but this behaviour is common - have a look at videos by popular gamers on YouTube.

“Shouldn’t try to control him” that is such a gas lighting thing to say.

I’d really say that your not controlling him but his anger at such a stupid thing is worrying.

Let me guess either fortnite, pubg, battlefield or cod? My husband is the same when he's on his Xbox when it comes to those games 🙄

COD, and Fifa occasionally which gets him just as mad.

We are due at a family event this evening and he's on his 4th beer by himself downstairs swearing at the television again? I really can't handle this every day!
