DH addicted to video game

[beaglelover2]

Hi everyone,

Just need some advice. My DH is addicted to playing video games. He is working from home and spends every lunch break in front of the tv swearing. Thank goodness I am in work for most of the week but when I am home it drives me absolutely insane. I feel like he has no respect for me and when I ask him to be quieter he says sorry, but carries on doing it.

Would it be unreasonable to hide his controller?

It would be unreasonable to hide his controller as that's a quite childish response. You would not be unreasonable to ask that he restrains from the constant swearing, or maybe compromise and work elsewhere during the day, or he takes the games console elsewhere, upstairs? If possible.

Playing on his break doesn’t sound like an addiction to me is there more to it?

Ask him to keep it down, put in a swear jar, can you coordinate your lunch breaks and do something together instead? Perhaps he is just used to being home alone
