Husband's gaming habits

[EllenSpark]

I am looking for advice or other opinions to try and work out if my husband's gaming habits are normal/acceptable.
First of all I should say I do enjoy playing games myself when time allows, and gaming is something my husband and I bonded over when we first met. We sometimes play together during those rare moments of free time when the little one isn't around.
BUT, I am becoming really frustrated and even concerned at the amount he is sat at his PC. He has his PC set up in the living room where we all spend most of our time. If he is not at work (let's say Mon-Fri 9-5 but he gets school hols so less than that), his PC is on and running a game. So from 5 pm to 11 pm weekdays, and 9 am to 11 pm/midnight at weekends and school holidays, unless we have something on. It's also like his bottom is magnetised to the chair, and apart from getting up for the toilet or to make a drink, he is in his chair. To quote Matilda, it's like his arse is 'fused to the fibres' of the chair.
We have a young son who rarely asks my DH to play because he's not likely to budge, and if he does, it's half hearted as you can tell he wants to get back to the game. If he begrudgingly agrees to help me with anything around the house, it's rushed.
As a full-time working mum to a young son, I have very little free time and so I love to play games when I can, but that's the point, if I can fit it in, like anything else I do for enjoyment. With my DH, it feels like the rest of his life revolves around his gaming.
I have asked if he can move his PC out of the living room but he acts like I've suggested divorce. If I ask him to switch it off and be more present he just says stupid things like 'what you prefer me to do? Go down to the pub? Take up knitting instead?'. He's a sarcastic arse as you can tell!
I don't think I'm being unreasonable questioning this 'gaming habit', so I'd like to hear others' views, any similar stories, advice, helpful tips?
Thanks

I wouldn't put up with that at all and I do like to play the switch. But you know when I play? Once the kids are asleep and the house has been tidied/clean.

This man is going to be an utterly useless and disappointing father to his son. If you don't get it sorted, your son will become a carbon copy thinking everything to do in the house is a woman's job

I'd be clearly explaining that I expect him to significantly reduce his gaming time to one hour per evening after everything that needs done is done including spending focused time on his child, that this is the expectation going forward and if he can't commit then you will be seeking a divorce.

What's to love about him? He inputs nothing to you or your son's life.

he needs to switch it off until his son is in bed. Why are you doing all the parenting, housework, putting DC to bed and he’s sitting there gaming? He either switched it off until your child is in bed or the marriage would be over for me. His son is so young and has already learned that daddy won’t play with him so has stopped asking. That’s tragic.

He's being unreasonable.

I play a lot of games but it's always the thing I do after everything else is already done, and I'll drop it for anything else that comes along.

He's treating it as the default thing he should be doing, and any requests for him to do anything else are taking away from his gaming time. It should be spending time playing with the kids every day, family trips at weekend and quality time spent together first, and then any time leftover can go to games.

This isn't acceptable, he's a Dad and husband, not a teenager.

I would be seriously thinking about an ultimatum of parenting/family life comes first otherwise he should move out and set himself up with a batcherlor pad.

Longer term, he's setting your son up for gaming addictions when he becomes a teenager and he'll not have a clue how to be a good Dad later in life.

I wouldn't be doing any shopping, cooking or laundry for the lazy sod either and absolutely no sex. Make lovely dinners for you and DS and ignore him as he's ignoring you.
