Her Husband Is Constantly Gaming And Doesn’t Help Her Around The House, So She Told Him To Either Start Pulling His Weight Or Find Another Place To Live
This 39-year-old woman and her husband, who is 46, have been married for about 16 years. So, they now have a teenage son, who is 16, and two small dogs.
She and her husband also both work full-time. But, even though he arrives home from work between one and two hours earlier than her every day, she is always met with a bunch of chores as soon as she walks through the door.
For instance, her dogs will want to be fed and let outside to use the bathroom. Her kitchen is also usually messy, and no one has even started cooking dinner.
“Meanwhile, my husband has been on the computer playing Fortnite since he got home for one or two hours,” she detailed.
This forces her to start simultaneously handling all of the responsibilities– from cleaning the kitchen and cooking dinner to feeding and letting out their dogs.
Then, her husband will just waltz into the kitchen and wonder why she could possibly have an attitude.
She has tried to tell her husband on numerous occasions how downright frustrating it is being the only person handling their household.
“I also pay all the bills. He contributes financially, but I actually get online and pay bills, manage the budget, and generally make sure everything is done at home,” she added.
Still, her husband never changes his habits. Instead, he keeps playing video games for hours during the week and even more on the weekend– for between five and ten hours.

Not to mention, whenever they are in the car, her husband just watches streams of other gamers if she is driving.
Anyway, she’s made it obvious to her husband that she’s ticked off by his seemingly imbalanced priorities.
And just the other day, a text conversation between her husband and his friend was her last straw.
Apparently, he texted one of his buddies and called her a jerk for being upset about having to work, go to the store, come home to a dirty kitchen, and start cooking dinner while he was just gaming.
She saw that his friend responded– calling their ex-girlfriend “way worse– but her husband claimed that at least the ex “gamed out.”
“When would I have the time?” she asked.
She also just believes that gaming is a bit “juvenile” and a waste of time. So, while she understands why some people enjoy it, the hobby just isn’t for her.
“And my husband was not a gamer when we met. This started up about five years ago,” she vented.
That’s also beside the point since she wouldn’t care if her husband played video games as long as he at least helped out around the house beforehand.
That’s why she wound up flipping out on her husband and basically demanding that he either pull his weight at home or find another place to live.
Still, ever since telling him off, she’s been left wondering whether she’s justified for being so frustrated by his gaming.
How would you feel if your spouse prioritized gaming over contributing to your household responsibilities? Does she have a right to be frustrated? Would you give your partner the same ultimatum?
