My husband and I eloped and after we got home, the first thing he wanted to do was play a video game. He didn't want to go out and celebrate or spend time with me at all. He just sat down and started playing and said that's what he wanted to do what I asked him if we could spend the day together instead. It was our wedding day! He played video games literally all day and refused to stop. I had never felt so awful in my whole life, I was crushed. I couldn't believe it, it was awful.And now I think that what happened should tell me a lot about the situation I'm in now. Part of me wanted to file for divorce the next day. I don't want to be married to someone that doesn't seem like he even likes me judging from our wedding day. Am I reading too much into it?

It is a HUGE deal. He is not mature enough to be married.

I'm going through the same thing with my husband. He didn't play on our wedding day, but it's a lot of the time. We have had huge fights that he needs to start acting like a MAN and not a 15 year old.

Anyway, I don't enough about your situation to give advice. In my situation, I told my husband that I wanted him out and that I wanted to get a divorce. He started seeing things from a different perspective. Now he helps or does other things and then plays video games. I've only been married for 7 months. I am not afraid to walk away at any point in this relationship.

I was very blunt and laid it on the table for him. I make 2.5 times more than him, I do all of the housework, cleaning, repairs, maintenance on cars, etc... I asked him What exactly was his role in this relationship? I do everything. He was told to start helping out or get out.

Last night I came home after working an extra long day and found the entire house cleaned and dinner on the table. It was nice.

I don't know how flexible your husband is, but playing video games on your wedding day is extremely disrespectful.
