My SO is addicted to video games and we’re not having sex anymore. It became an addiction soon after our son was born. We finish our parenting routine around 20 and he sits every evening until 1am at the games. He is sleep deprived during the week ofc and I take over parenting activities during the weekend because he is too tired and needs to recharge batteries- and continue playing. When I bring up the topic he feels attacked and denies the addiction. Any former addict willing to give advice?

Theres likely more to it than video games. Look up what he does closely..maybe put a spycam

A therapist is probably more able to help more, but from my experience…. After having my kid, my life became work plus taking care fo the family, which I do enjoy but I missed a bit of me time… going to the gym, watching ufc, seeing s friend, etc (I’m sure it’s 10x worse for the mom).

Seems like he is just escaping, looking for time alone doing something for him. I’d recomend looking for what can you 2 do to have a more balanced life … for me it was having some sort of help in the weekends. My wife was against, saying I work during the week too much and weekends had to spend time alone with her and the baby, but having some help actually increased quality time for family. Also, me and wife and baby now to early breaksfeasts on weekends with friends who also have babies to have some sort of social life. Things like that really helped .

OP - I would get into a sexy outfit and entice him to the bedroom.

Seems to be video games only… I walk past him the whole time, he sits there at least until 23 (when I go to bed), he wears his headphones, is all in the dark in an immersive game.

It’s not like he’s leaving the apt, and I never saw porn in his screen.

Maybe agree to a compromise where you’ll have dedicated time together at a certain time every day, then he can have X hours a day for gaming?

I like video games too but life changes when you’re a parent. He needs to step up and recognize life isn’t going to look like it did before. If he’s unwilling to change, I’m not sure there is much else to do except leave the relationship.

Are you hot?

This is not about men or women, just about the opposite sex in a relationahip not being attracted to their SO for some reason. Take it however you want but sexuality is a huge part in a romantic relationahip and if your SO is not attracted anymore, it could very well mean you've let yourself go. Them playing videogames or doing aomething else rather than being intimate with you is something to be worried about and in many, many cases the true but harsh answer is you're not physically attractive to them anymore.
