I'm a gamer and could easily spend all day at the screen. BUT after we had our first baby I was jealous of my husband's computer and dog! He took the dog out every day while I was stuck at home with a newborn, he'd come home and sit on the computer or play with that da*n dog!!
My suggestion is ask for him to spend x amount of time with you and the kids each night. Play for a half hour or hour when he gets home to unload, then have dinner and enjoy some time with the family. Maybe Saturday mornings he takes the kids out of the house, no xbox, you get a break and the rest of the day you take the kids and he can play xbox or whatever he wants.
Men need this kind of release, whether it's a game, watching tv etc. He does however, need to get in under control instead of letting it control him - he sounds addicted.
its me or the xbox
