My husband's indifference about life is getting to me...

[MJJean]

Hmm...that's a good idea! I didn't think of trying to play with him. Hopefully he won't mind if I try. I did try Halo once when it first came out and the guys kicked me off.

 

My husband and I were 24 when we met. Full, active,lives. Then we got married. Even without the kids, we were pretty much always at a loss for something to do. Our friends were either single and on the prowl or working and taking care of kids of their own.

 

He's always been a gamer, so I decided to join him. Gaming at home is cheaper than going out to the bars and such. Had a blast, too, once I caught on. After some time, I surpassed my DH in skill playing MMORPG's and I almost equal him in RTS type games. His apm are still a bit higher than mine....

 

Anyhow, yes, play with him if you want to. Make gaming a fun couple thing to do. Tell the boys to kiss your butt and don't let them kick you off. Make them suck it up and teach you. You'll only be a noob for a while and then you'll no longer need to be carried. You'll be a valuable member of the team.

 

Other than that, try to find interesting things to do outside the home a day or so a week. Once you're past the bar brawl and prowl days it's sometimes hard to find something to do and easy to land in a rut. Maybe that's part of the problem. Maybe he took a look around and went "Well, shoot. I'm married, so no going out drinking and whoring. What the hell do I do with myself now?"

I could crust up a sock to nerdy talk like this.

 

 

Just don't forget that its not an APM race. Just don't let him nydus your main or its GG, if you know what I mean.
