Simple solution to your problem.

1) Get some cash, a lot of it.
2) Build an amazing gaming PC with a 4k monitor.
3) Install Steam and pre-order GTA V for PC.
4) Play it when it's out in a few weeks.
5) Watch him cry in peasantry as your glorious master race gaming PC absolutely decimates his PS4.
6) Dump him and keep playing GTA V on PC.

Nothing beat's using the hookers services and then killing them to get your investment back

Damien360

Buy another TV. Set a game time (just like with kids) of 2 hours.

I set this limit on myself or I would never go to bed.

biko

Put a child lock on the console. He gets 2 hours after washing up and 3 hours on Saturdays.


edit lol Damian had same idea

Scratch the disc

Stand between the Controller and the PS4, block off the Bluetooth.

Failing that, drive a garbage truck in the front window proclaiming his cajones are yours now.

Has he just recently turned into a manchild?
If not, then you know what you were signing up for.

Always loved his games, but I'm hoping this new ps4 is just a phase, spends all his spare time on it! I never had a problem with it before!

So the problem really isn't that the arguments are caused by your husband spending all his free time playing games; your problem is that he's hogging the tv?

Least you have your priorities in order :pac:

L.Jenkins

I agree with the building of a gaming machine and ordering GTA V.

Super-Rush

Burn the house down.

Get some games you can both play together?

Girlfriend and I played Borderlands 2, Payday 2 and some other stuff together

Have an emotional affair with somebody you work with, fixed. As a bonus you won't really want to watch much tv.

It's best to try to speak with him when he's not playing (if that actually happens!!) like at breakfast/after a morning shower when he might be more refreshed. Unfortunately interrupting the game will almost certainly cause tension. Evening fights are the worst.

Be prepared and be calm. Don't immediately bring up the PS, instead mention the TV. It's a shared TV and you both should get a look in. That way he won't feel his precious console is threatened. Maybe try to agree on a timeframe when the TV is yours, even if you decide to turn it off for that period.


Ultimately, if he wants to play so badly then he should get his own television. Do ye have a spare room? For the playstation, not him (presumably)...

Stockings and suspenders will have him putting down the controller very quickly...and he'll have already warmed the couch

Try postman, delivery guy, local shop worker/stores person. Failing that, join some clubs, library, find new hobbies and things that might get you out of the house, keep fit classes or something that provides access to a "personal" trainer.

Sh1t just got real, real fast! Nothing for it OP but to get your ass down to a Hardware store in the morning and pick yourself up a sledgehammer, that PS4's gotta go

Tombi!

Buy another PS4 and a cheap monitor that accepts a HDMI connection. Get your own copy of the game. Continually join the server he's on. Kill him. Over and over. Eventually he'll stop playing.

I like ur way of thinking lol

Farty88

What's the hubby's psn name he can join the brd's crew. most of us are on nearly every nite a great bunch of lads never on too late and great way of getting to know people from different parts of the country. conversation is intellectual and intriguing and we do interesting and fun activities. my girlfriend swears by it she gets few hours to enjoy looking at online shopping and looking up holls and girlie stuff like so. while I chat and have fun with the lads great way to unwind after a hard day.Plus having few hours 2-3 days during the week to play makes me appreciate her more.Win win on both parties Hope this helps

It's a fact of life that GTA is better than any relationship. Effectively, all partners are redundant. The end.

If it's an online game you could hire someone to kill him every time he respawns.

or put jam on the controller

It'll be like the plot of Inception with a few changes.

Grand Theft Auto is an action-adventure video game series created by David Jones and Mike Dailly the later titles of which were created by brothers Dan and Sam Houser, Leslie Benzies and Aaron Garbut. It is primarily developed by Rockstar North (formerly DMA Design), and published by Rockstar Games. The name of the series is derived from a term referring to motor vehicle theft.

Most games in the series are set in fictional locales modelled on American cities, usually either Liberty City, Vice City, or San Andreas, which are stand-ins for New York City, Miami, and Southern California, respectively. The first 2D titles encompassed three fictional cities, while 3D and HD titles tend to emphasise a single city and its outlying areas. Gameplay focuses on an open world where the player can choose missions to progress an overall story, as well as engaging in side activities, all consisting of action-adventure, driving, third-person shooting, occasional role-playing, stealth, and racing elements. The series also has elements of the earlier beat 'em up games from the 16-bit era. The series has gained controversy for its adult nature and violent themes. The series focuses around many different protagonists who attempt to rise through the ranks of the criminal underworld, although their motives for doing so vary in each game. The antagonists are commonly characters who have betrayed the protagonist or his organisation, or characters who have the most impact impeding the protagonist's progress.

Video game developer DMA Design began the series in 1997; as of 2014 it has eleven stand-alone games and four expansion packs. The third chronological title, Grand Theft Auto III, was widely acclaimed, as it brought the series to a 3D setting and more immersive experience, and is considered a landmark title that has subsequently influenced many other open world action games and led to the label "Grand Theft Auto clone" on similar games. Subsequent titles would follow and build upon the concept established in Grand Theft Auto III. Film and music veterans have voiced characters, including Ray Liotta, Burt Reynolds, Dennis Hopper, Samuel L. Jackson, Debbie Harry, Phil Collins, Axl Rose, and Peter Fonda.The series has been critically acclaimed and commercially successful, having sold more than 150 million units, as of September 2013.

I realise most of my jokes aren't funny but surely they're not hard to get?

Get another PS4 and play with him. I'm not joking either.
