DP and his f*****g x-box

[plj]

AIBU to be psychotically enraged with DP who sits up till 2am on x-box, comes to bed, crashes out and doesn't surface for 8 solid hours?

Meanwhile, I have to go to bed, early and alone, as am up 3-4 times during night with twins, and up on my own with them both at 7am every morning.

AIBU to consider seriously sabotaging the damned thing?

No offence meant at all by using said phrase. Please accept apologies to all who have been offended.

You're right-it is very easy to band around phrases such as 'footie' widow, 'x-box' widow' etc. I am sure that no-one who has used that phrase meant to upset anyone.

I particularily did not mean to offend anyone.

Is he very technical? I have a simple solution to solve Dh's laptop addiction when he starts annoying me

him; why is the laptop not working?
me; i think i unplugged the ethernet ntl is down

him; whats up with sky?
me; the ariel is unplugged I don't know it's been like that all day

works on the wii too I just pull the wire for receiver out of the back and he can't work out why it says it can't find a signal

Funnily enough all these things start working again when I want them

I have tried to tell him how I feel, and definately told him he is being an arse. He doesn't play that much during the day, but it's the endless hours in the evening and night that annoy me.

Have not read all threads, just OP and a few others. Just wanted to say I am glad I am not the only one! DH has an xbox 360 and a PS3 and they do my head in.

And Yes I feel like I have married a teenager. Although he is only 24 but still.

Sadly, he is very technical, and I am not. He connects everything in the house, and I can't seem to figure out where everything is plugged in. Guess I need to start pulling a few out to see what happens!

I think I've read all the posts on this thread so I'm surprised no-one's mentioned letting him get up for the twins while you feign sleep
Don't know if they're in the same room as you but if you have a monitor, leave it on his side of the bed and TURN IT UP
He might reconsider playing so long and so late after a few nights of that. Even if he's cheeky enough to move it to your side of the bed, that should at least provoke the conversation you should be having about this when you ask him why he expects you should be woken up rather than him.

plj - Hope you get it sorted out. Have a long chat and some to some sort of agreement which makes you both happy.

I'll try and do the same

come to an agreement - Doh!

Thanks AbbaFan

I have considered just going up to bed, leaving the twins downstairs, and seeing what he does. He won't even notice I have gone, but will get a shock when DT's wake up at same time screaming for a feed.

I meant to say, when DH is up later than me playing games, the deal is that he has the baby monitor and he deals with her if she wakes up before he comes to bed. He also gives her a dream feed when he comes up. BUT they only worked since I have stopped breastfeeding.

I wanna join the (Girls Against Geeks')!!!!!!! Except mine has ps3 but has exaclty the same qualities as the above. HAve been the thread to dh who never realised there are so many like him.....

I hate the X-BOX!!!!!! We don't have ant children yet but when we do the X-BOX is going straight in the bin.

We had the ring of death. I was so happy. Then he went on to youTube and found instructions on how to fix it. It cost him about 3 pounds for parts. He spent so much time on it. I said he should marry it instead of me.

Death to the X-BOX!

Dh has x-box and ps3 and wii. If he's playing I'm on here or go to bed. He gets so excited by CoD4 I get a full report on the nights games even if I'm asleep! and then..bless him,he tries to seduce me. I made it clear,if he wants me,he comes to bed with me. Immature? maybe- but it worked.
