How do I get my husband off his console?

tommy

drape yourself over him naked!

Join the game and beat him at it. Its the only way.

Angel

I went through a similar thing with my husband and I tried nagging him about this, but to no avail it did not work, but what did work for me and may work for you is.

You and the children continue your daily lives excluding your husband.. Meaning when you leave the house, leave without him, do not tell him you are leaving or when you will be returning.
Set down to eat dinner, do not tell him, clean up the kitchen and put everything away.. Do not remind him of the possibility of missing appointments, games or anything..

HE is eventually going to come to his senses and say hey why are you not including me in family things?
Well I thought that since you were so preoccupied with yourself and gaming that you would much prefer to do that than spend time with you family and walk away..

This gave my husband a wake up call, he realized that he was being selfish and cheating not only our children, our marriage, but also himself.

Hope that this works for you as it did for me.....

Men honestly do they ever grow up
Tell him its not setting a good example to the children, and they would love to spend more time having fun with DADDY
Good luck

take him and the children out to the park - play games outside not around the house but beach and stuff - keep him busy with the kids some more - when you get home - he'll play games but not for long cause he'll get tire

You unplug it and take some wire cutters and then you cut the power lead 1 inch before it goes in to the box so he cant plug it in. Tell him to take the kids out and play in the real world with them! Try throwing a real ball instead of a virtual one

Chop the plug off.

practice when he is not home. then tell him that you want to challenge him to a game and beat him. if you beat him, he will probably spend less time on them after.

unplug them while he's at work/the shop or in the shower. take them all to a friends house where he cant get to them and tell him you had a life together before he started this teenage boy behaviour of playing games and ignoring you and the kids. good luck

i think lots of women have this problem- consoles are just too good these days! I just got my bf on his own when he wasn;t playing and without nagging, explained to him that i was feeling a little left out and asked him if he would make an effort to play a little less and pay me a bit more attention... i think when i put it calmly and didn't make it like a moan, he listened more and took it in. He now plays it the whole time i'm not in hehe but does actually turn it off and veg in front of the tv with me again

wear a nice lingerie or walk naked in front of him I bet that would get his attention.

Letting You Know

I feel that way too. My fiance does the same thing, we also have two children. I have decided to be fairly tolerant of it. So long as he puts some time aside for family and fun. Make sure to remind him once in awhile that you are feeling neglected by the time he spents with his electronic friends. When I get irritated I hide the equipment that he seems to be making priority at the time and tell him if he doesn't get his priorities together the game or whatever it is I've hidden is going in the trash or our relationship is. It does annoy him when I hide that darn things but he gets the point. He even lets it remain hidden while he spends family time with us. Then a couple weeks later he'll bother me about where it is, and I of course give it back to him but remind him to limit his time on it. It's a constant struggle but I'd do the same to my kids. If they put video game time before quality time, the video game gets put away. My answer may seem harsh but I am very intolerant of these things. I hope if anything I've given you an idea of how to handle it.

use it for you advantage. My wife made a deal with me after a few month our marriage. if there are things to be done around the house i will do those first than play my games. i got so tired of rushing to the stuff around the house i greatly slowed down playing game get it. he wont know he stopped playing so much tell its to late

Typo Puppy (dyslexic)

Try this one.

If you don't divorce your computers and make family time.....your wife and family will be divorcing you for your computer time!!!

In other words....get a grip on it fella as you have more to loose than gain and have a actual ban for two or three hours each day where he has to be in the real world not the cyber world!!!

singha44

cut the electric cord

The Overfiend

When he's playing on a console in front of the TV, come downstairs naked and start stroking yourself.

Seriously, open your legs wide so he gets a good look, and do what makes you climax.

If he doesn't turn to look at you, or tells you to be quiet, then drop him like a sack of potatoes !!

Say you've just rented some very erotic dvd's and would he like to watch them with you.

lunatic

Since you mention 2 children, you obviously were able to get his attention at least twice before. Try repeating the past.

bgnasher

you must be right boring.
its probably the only reason why he stays with you.

mcdannells

Well that computer,ds wii xbox is making the kids over weight and vegetables, we have to get rid of them, sorry dear.
If that does not help ask hubby to your addictive personality class. Let him sit there with you until it dawns on him you are not there for you, but for him (men can be stubborn and we learn ways to deal with this).
Frustration/anger is the first step then action is the next. You realize change is needed, we can not make other do as we want them to by being upfront and confrontational sometimes even if it is for the persons own good, so it is time to step back and use the brain god gave us.
Good luck!

Find a game, get good at it then beat him. It's in a man's nature to lose interest when his wife starts liking it too :) Or you can wear a corset with stockings, walk up to him and say : " Oh, what a shame you are busy playing". then walk off... I had to do that with my boyfriend. Takes a few times but it will work!

Remove clothing.

Have a GREAT day!

Prance around in lingerie. That will get his attention

Blink182x

I don't see why you have so many consoles!
Tell him how you feel about it, that he CAN spend time on these consoles but you'd like him to spend time with you and the kids too! Remind him of all these programmes that are on TV; like Supernanny, How To Look Good Naked etc etc Say that you don't want any of that in your relationship, and that he has to try just as hard as you!

Get Naked and sit on his lap. I am always available to assist in these matters.

Preme

start pleasuring him more
