Anyone else married to a gamer and feel like they are the third wheel in their relationship?

OP, it's quite clear reading that he's a deeply unpleasant person and you would be better off without him.

He's not bringing anything good to your life.

Don't rush into anything, but make a plan for a better life.

Wishing you well.💐

He is an unmitigated 24-carat world-class arsehole. How on earth you have managed to put up with him for so long I really don't know.

How much does he do around the house? No... wait... let me guess.

@egontoste he actually does a reasonable amount around the house but only because he hates “mess”. I was lectured the other day as he was vacuuming with “you’ve had all week to do this” I responded with the fact it was done less than 48 hours prior. I’m obviously very slack for not doing it daily.He went to the gym tonight and was not impressed that the washing machine was not immediately available when he came home. As far as he was concerned the load I had on should have been done earlier as I’ve had “all day”
Things went to a new low with the gaming today as he watched the majority of the show we watch together from the comfort of his computer, he only joined me for the end. Asked him what he was doing after the show ended and he said “shooting things” my fault I suppose for not asking directly to watch something together but I suppose I’m just deflated. I want him to want to spend time with me, when all he wants to do is play with that damn thing. I don’t agree with violence but I’d be lying if I said the thought of taking a hammer to the damn thing hadn’t crossed my mind! I’d never do that of course it’s just a reflection I suppose of how disheartened I am by the whole situation. If I’m being completely honest I’m feeling really teary at the moment

Went online last night to look at local groups I could attend in the evenings to get out more but didn’t have much luck. There’s a sport group that’s on weekly which I could attend but I figure I’d need to improve my fitness rather rapidly first. I’m sick of sitting on my own each night. I thought we were happily watching a show on the sofa together and without a word just got up and walked off to his computer. So over this :-(
