I agree with FG. Compromise is important, but he has to try to compromise as well. I hope it works out for you!!!

I’m with FG on this one – break routine, create changes, mix it up a little and see if it works. If it doesn’t – then you might want to re-examine the relationship and what both of you want from it. I don’t believe in walking away unless I am satisfied that I have done everything (within reason) to make it work. It definitely makes the moving on easier, less ugly and leaves you at peace with your decision should you have to make it.

All men are different and so are women… You need to know the type of person you choose to be with. I don’t think him spending a lot of time playing video games, equates to him not being a good man. I’m sure there are many other things she likes about him, or she would be with him. I have a friend who is a very hard worker… he will do whatever it takes to make sure that his family is in need or want of nothing. He is the ultimate provider, but you know what… I wouldn’t want a man like that, because although that is a very good trait… family time is very important to me and he spends so much time working, there is very little time for the family. That however works for him and his family.
Packing up and leaving isn’t the answer either. It doesn’t show commitment and you shouldn’t try to bully or force anyone… Furthermore men don’t like ultimatums… They just need to do what FG says… relationships need work constantly. It will always need maintenance and as long as they both want their relationship to work, they will figure it out.

This is what women mean when they talk about the difference between a man and a guy. A guy sits up all nite playing video games. A man will take some time each day and do like Jaheim says: Put that woman first.

I would leave just to let him no I’m serious. You have 2 prove to a man u mean business cause as long as u stay I don’t see him stopping his obsession. So leave & if he values you more & realize what he lost he will be beggin for u bac or sad to say he might just go his own way But its for your good 2 cause then you’d kno it wasn’t right for you anyway. BTW if he begs for you bac give him a 2-3 wk wait & just fill that time with fun things & bring it up everytime he calls u! Either he won’t care or he will be rushin & sweatin 2 make it right with u.
