I was married to a man who decided being on his computer all day, playing games and sleeping, were more important than me, the housework, having a job, and well, everything else really. I say was, because I got fed up of having to do everything, and feeling like I didn't exist. I divorced him some time later.
Never just accept crap like that, you're worth more than a computer game ever will be.
My boyfriend is a gamer too! But thankfully, he knows when to stop playing. Now, he only plays during his free time.
I believe it's in men's genes to be competent in something. After all, in the caveman days, they did the hunting.
My boyfriend is also a gamer. Thankfully, I also am a gamer and have undergone the gaming addiction phase which is why I can perfectly relate to him. Imagine having to wake up at a person using the computer to play an MMORPG. He goes to the bathroom and brings my phone with him to play Tower Defenders and other Android Games (this happened after his PSP got busted). If I'm using my laptop, he'll resort to turning on his PS2 and spend countless hours figuring out puzzles, beating up zombies and taking out the life bar of a Tekken character.
Instead of confronting him, I played the girlfriend card. Not the whiny type, but the "mustering all my charm and loving ways to take away his attention" type. He'll eventually notice you. And you could always say then, "Can I have some of your time? I just miss looking at you."

Thank you for that. I love your way of looking at it. It's a great perspective. Unfortunately I had already tried that. We had gotten to that state when I had bought some really sexy lingerie (the kind he love, of course) and I was standing in front of him dressed to impress. And he moved to the left to see the TV-screen better.
This is not an issue anymore for me. He and I broke up. But thank you for your answer!
Btw - I never said I didn't play! I love gaming too. But not every second of my life.
Again - thank you! xxo
