writes: I've been dating this guy for 3 months now and he's a real sweetheart. He's very calm and down-to-earth. The thing is, now that he lives with me and my 1-and-a-half year old daughter, he spends more time on the computer or his video games (most of the day actually) than with me. I know he loves me, but it really does hurt. I've told him numerous times, talking and in writing, but nothing changes... I just don't know how to get through to him anymore. He even falls asleep while playing his PS2 and spends the night downstairs instead of turning everthing off and coming to bed. Am I overreacting or am I right for being mad at him for doing this? What else should I do?

reader, anonymous, writes (15 November 2005): I get the impression you are living with him after just 3 months and you have a kid with some other guy no is not in the picture. The first issue you have to deal with is that you have poor judgement. Write that down on a post it and put it on your monitor so you remember to deal with that later. Even Cary Grant shouldn't be invited to move in after 3 months.
Now to be realistic, computer games are fun. They really are. The game industry has spent billions of dollars developing consoles and games that are really entertainig. And it worked!
So you face the dilemma of the 'football widow' from 20 years ago. Get involved with his hobby! There are multiple controls for God's sake. Then you'll know whats going on in his life and why he is so keyed up to beat the level, ot the boss monster or whatever is keeping him up until the middle of the night.
