You come home and yet again he is on that blasted machine!

"I'll just finish this level then I'll stop!" He mumbles as you watch his eyes glazed over transfixed on the rectuangler screen. He punches at the controls and cries blast or worse every now and then as you watch him fight and lose.

You know the "last level" will be an hour or so away so you give him a quick kiss and wonder upstairs to have a bath. FIRST MISTAKE don't just let him carry on. NO! Why should you have to put up with him playing night after night when you want to discuss the day with him etc.

Playstation seems to be a very easy way of relaxing nowadays. It does not require strength or much brain power. You sit and jiggle your fingers every now and then, obviously shouting at the screen as your enemies over power you every now and then. So it is so easy to get addicted to.

Now how do we stop the temptation to play for hours on end? Us ladies have a few great assests which men find very difficult to resist. Of course this is a no brainer, marriage without spice is no marriage at all.

The way my partner and I work is if he go on holiday we will go a show he likes and the next time we go and see a show he likes you know....stuff like that. So after stopping him playing insist he should pay more attention to you one day you should do something you like and the next something he likes.

Sometimes it is just nice to sit and talk with no noise in the background. My partner and I will just chat and the time will soon go quickly. My bloke os a real man's man, in other words he love motorbikes, prefers hanging out with blokes etc. I don't care for bikes and he plays golf too. Where I live there are loads of things to do like playing tennis or learning how to dance. I think the UK is pretty good in this respect, we do have little communities where we have pastimes we can take part in. How about Judo or Karate? I think every person needs a hobby that takes them out of the house whether it be learning a language or playing sport.

There is no need to spend hours on a game, it is no good for a relationship and I think everyonewho writes on helium probably does not have a man in their life with this problem. If communcation is a problem for the man in question then going to the gym or just walking round the park could be a solution.

Playstation games are fun, but first priority is the marriage. If we do the same things day in and day out the relationship will probably fail; if we don't go out together or just sit and chat the relationship might not have a future. Get him off the couch and get him to get a hobby! Get him off the the playstation and get him to chat to you!
