I’m a stay at home mom because my entire monthly income would go to childcare if i had a job. My s/o works a-lot and I’m very grateful and tell him all the time how grateful i am. The problem is that when he is home he spends 12\* hours on his computer playing games and watching videos of said game.
Ive expressed my feelings to him more than once saying things like “I feel lonely when you are gaming all day” and “ I would like to spend time with you” and “ I feel like you aren’t happy or care anymore” he also rarely held with the lo and when he fires he rolls his eyes and gets frustrated any time he has to come away from the game.
Its so bad and he is so addicted that he took time from work so he could play a week straight. So he could stay caught up with they “economy”
It has made me so angry that i cant even be in the same room as him without feeling rage.
I just don’t know what to do anymore. What would you do in this situation?
what would I do? leave
You’re Postpartum, or postnatal and having a new born he needs to get off the games and show you more essential support by helping you out with the kid and chores and emotional support.

He has emotionally checked out.
You should never put yourself in a position where you’re dependent on him, especially financially.
Little boys like this, do not change. Plan your exit. Reach out to family while you financially get back on your feet and figure out your independence.
Why have a baby with a man that hasn’t married you? I don’t think a 23 or 24 year old man should be getting anyone pregnant, no wonder he’s focused on video games and won’t hold the baby, he’s a kid himself. You put yourself in a rough spot (no real career if your income is so low that it would all go to childcare) and you’re relying on a man that isn’t mature enough to have a kid. Just go
