re: Seriously?!!?!

Quoting Mrs. Sherwood:" You guys are seriously hilarious. You spend your time tag teaming on babygaga? How sad. Not to mention ... [snip!] ... if this "essay" was too long for you. I thought I was "wasting my time" writing to you? Way to contradict yourself there, hun."

I think you're just jealous that your husband wouldn't ever come stand in your defense on BG. It's really pathetic that you have to stoop so low as to accuse someone of possibly being fake to make yourself feel better and to validate your own opinions.

That said, you may have one of those perfect marriages where you and your husband do nothing but stare deeply into each other's eyes for hours on end in some deep, meaningful spiritual connection but most of us don't. And really, just because a man and woman pursue their own interests to help them cope in times of crisis doesn't invalidate their relationship.

Hell, I was in the hospital for four days with oligohydramnios. My husband was up there every day, but honestly we spent a lot of time watching tv and browsing the internet. Hospitals are boring. You can only do so much when you're confined to a room. It's even more boring when it's your child. My youngest spent some time in the hospital, and with all the medications they had her on plus contact precaution...well there's only so much time you can spend staring at your fatally sick child. Some people just need a way to escape. We're trying to explain to the OP that this may be her man's way of coping with the situation at hand.

Now scamper along back to your fantastical and perfect little bubble before I find myself a needle and pop it.

Haha see we WERE. at least we were supposed to be talking about OP. seeing as how she was asking for opinions. But Mrs. Sherwood must have wanted the attention on her life.

I dunno, somebody who goes out of their way to so desperately make her life seem amazing while at the same time randomly trying to accuse other people (that she doesnt even know) of having a horrible, angry, unhappy marriage obvious is in denial herself. Like who really does that??

Hahaha THANK you. That's what I was trying to explain to OP as well. But that apparently makes me secretly angry at my own husband because I play video games with him and secretly want him to have different priorities.

But you put that in perfect words. I'm sure Sherwood will have something negative to say to that as well.

The thing that bugged me was that she was telling you how miserable your life was. I was like ( ) WTF! Like who the hell are you to decide who's relationships are good and who's relationships are horrible.

The way I see it, if your life was as wonderful you wouldn't feel the need to try and put someone else's relationship just to feel good about yourself.

Yeah OP I would be pissed too...I know how bad it hurts to have me and my child ignored for the sake of video gaming. I didn't know until after I had LO and living with SO how bad he was (LO was not planned). He is getting better slowly, but there for a while I was ready to leave him because not only was he pissing me off never doing anything with me, he was also barely paying attention to LO and when he was, he was fussing at him for getting in the way of the TV or something. Sounds like your life is headed in my direction..I hope for your sake its not though. And not even being there when you had your child? Smuuuurf that.

ETA: I'm sure if it were flipped and a mother on here were so obsessed with video gaming and had to have it 24/7...she would get ripped a new one.

Couldn't have said it any better myself. So glad I'm not alone on that one lol.

Nobody's really denyng that he's done some smurfed up and unacceptable smurf, hon. It's just the general consensus that a. the ps3 might be his way of coping and b. the real issue actually probably isn't the ps3 itself, and that the OP is searching for something to blame.

Your story with OP's has nothing to do with the issue. He's not ignoring the child. The child is at the hospital and they are at the hotel till the next day when they can go see him/her. No one is being ignored.

Thank ya! Haha.
It really rubs me raw when people try to put you down for not doing things their way. There's no one correct way to live life, and she needs to accept that and get over it  

I hope she snarks back with something negative.
I love seeing snobs get their pretty pink frilly panties all in a twist over the interwebs

Haha she'll probably do it in French after she gets back from Paris. Lol.

It's possible, but if he truly IS on his PS3 all of the time, he may just be a game junkie like many men are and doesn't really deserve any one to stick up for him. There really are men that just want to play games all day, not because they are trying to cope but because that's just what they want to do. I think the hospital was just one of many examples she could have given. Hell, my SO was terrible (like I said he's getting better) and even HE didn't bring a game system to the hospital and stayed with me for almost 4 days.

Maybe with this specific example, but I'm sure by the way she explained this that he is on that system during any free time he has and it probably won't stop even after his kid is home. It's possible it will but unlikely based on what I've seen with people so obsessed with playing games.

Why can't he be in his PS3 on his day off? Didn't she say that he WAS a good BF to her. A lot of woman tend to exaggerate their definition of a man playing video games "all day". Since when does a man playing on his free day or on his time off, spare time make it "all day"?
