i need to have a rant hope you dont mind

[auriana]

ive changed my name as i dont want you all thinking im a whinging git but im so fucked off with my dp, he is sat now on the sodding x box (has been for 4 hours now) im bored shitless want sex and tired i have been up 2 nights with ds who has real bad chicken pox dd has turned into satans spawn overnight and i have had enough dp has the fucking cheek to ask me if im ok? oh yeah i think to myself, you avoid every sexual advance i make towards you, you havent got up nthe night to help with ds and you havent helped with dd either and when i lock myself away for a long hot bath you have the balls to say strange time to have a bath? so no im not ok im pissed off and had enough. sorry ppl just had to explode.

Say it to his face. How else is he going to know?

Nice rant!

They do that I'm afraid. Have you considered actually telling him all that?

Calmly would be good, but blokes are not good at guessing. You have to say 'I want you to do X or stop doing Y'.

Won't happen otherwise

i feel the need to continue my rant as im still mega pissed off, so lastnight after sitting watching the xbox for five hours i say im going to bed, with that he says to me why? WHY i think to myself what are you thick or sumin, i calmly say well theres nothing else to do is there, he replies is that a dig about me playing the xbox and i simply ignore him and give him a kiss, so i go to bed at midnight a just lay there looking at my lovely artexed celling to annoyed to sleep so i come downstairs to get a cd to listen to in bed and hes sat watching the fucking tv that annoys me even more, so after laying in bed and listening to the whole cd he still hasnt come to bed so i cry myself to sleep (pathetic i know), morning comes and i ge woken up by ds throwing a paddy in my ear grrr i hate it when he does that, dp simply says stop it and rolls over and leaves me to get up and deal with it, so here i am an hour later and do you think hes up yet is he fuck, dont get me wrong hes a really good bloke, cooks, cleans, watches the kids, its just me getting pissed off.

I see where you are coming from but why do you have to sit watching the x box just cos he is playing it, cant you read a book, listen to music, phone a friend etc?

My ex h was addicted to gaming and in the end it was part of the reason we fell apart, but i wouldn't waste my leisure time, watching the ruddy thing, instead of doing something i enjoyed doing.

Top ranting!

Why don't you talk to him calmly? Just say that it would be lovely, say, to have two evenings a week when you do things together. Make some suggestions - any films you'd like to watch or games you could play together? Or hot sex sessions? I'm sure he wouldn't take it the wrong way if you emphasise that you love him and want to have lovely sex with him or just enjoy a film together.

Oh, and then say that once a week you quite fancy a night out with the girls and can he watch DS for that night please?

Wouldn't it be really sad if your DS or DD accidently fed the X Box a jam sandwitch...... how naughty children can be

KM - Xbox games are lots of fun. A very pleasant, light way to relax a bit.

And no more for children than Harry Potter, I would say...

break the fecking xbox

No, quite - completely agree! I just objected to the sentiment that playing on an XBox rendered you useless as husband material.

He is taking the piss a bit, though. A lot, even.

Have you thought of tampering with x-box-I change batteries the wrong way round in remote controls,radios etc and dh just thinks they are broken-there must be something similar ina an x-box

the x box is not proportional tof amily time - tell him to buck up or fuck off
