My husband used to be a video game addicted zombie. You can probably guess what that did to our relationship. Here are some things I did to cure his addiction.

Instructions

Difficulty: Challenging
Step1
Sit your husband down and tell him how you feel. He may not realize it bothers you so much. If your husband's like mine, though, talking won't help much.
Step2
Start writing down each time he plays and log how long he plays. After a week show him how much he plays. My husband was shocked to find out he played for around 20 hours a week. Talk about a wakeup call!
Step3
Play hardball if he still is not responding. Finally, I threatened to eBay his computer and Xbox. Worked like a charm!

Tips & Warnings

  • Don't press too hard. Know your limits.
