yea thanks helpbot, wrong post lol.

have you talked to him about this? told him how you feel? asked him why he is the way he is now?
the key to a successful relationship is good communication. you just need to tell him how you feel and find out how he feels and come to a compromise.

Sounds like he may not be ready to take on the role as parent, and compatible mate. It takes two to make any relationship work. He seems to be hiding from his responsibilities by engulfing himself with his playstation games, and avoiding by staying up late etc. Does he work? Does he spend any time at all with his child? Sounds a bit immature. How old is he?

You both have to make an effort to do things together, let him know how he is making you feel for a start, some guys get settled into a routine and forget we still need some attention and to feel special, me and my bf have date night, once a month where we go out and do something we enjoy together, also, have a go on the playstation with him, the couple that plays together stays together

Maybe that’s just how he unwinds from work. Take a weekend together.

I agree completely! Why do so many women refuse to play video games? It’s really not that bad, you would most likely find a game you like that you both can play. My boyfriend and I LOVE to play video games together. He likes the fact that his lady is not only his lady, but also his best friend that he can actually do FUN things with. Don’t be a square!
