Re: jealousy over husband chatting/gaming

I believe that you should trust your gut instincts. However, a female gamer is something rare overall. There could be some fascination with the idea and it's pleasing to think about, but if he lives openly, trust him. If there is something in your gut that says otherwise, then you must decide what to do next.

Some guys become immersed in gaming, paying little attention to the girlfriend/wife. Cheating can occur when there is little interaction for a long time between partners. However, I believe that on average, the female wants to spend more time together, while the male more often wants to have fun, regardless of her feelings.

You have to ask him to compromise some of his gaming time to do something with you every once in a while. When was the last time you and him had an engaging conversation? You may want the attention, but you have to get his and make it worth his time. The same goes for him, but he needs to realize that on his own or you need to express it explicitly, but in a sweet, caring, and loving manner.

I'm sure you've heard of it's not what you say, but how you say it. If you "feel" bad, negative, upset, or angry, then do not ask him to spend more time with you. Who wants to spend anytime with a negative person? You need to be in a good mood, inviting, and interested.


If I were in your shoes, I'd figure out how far this girl lives just to ease my mind. If your marriage is worth its weight, it will have more of these types of moments and it's up to the both of you to get through them.

Games can be addicting. It's hard to get between a junkie and a fix.

Perhaps it is time that you shared your feelings openly, honestly, and lovingly with him. Try different ways, but avoid nagging. Tweet
