I’m a good wife. I can be difficult (like most people) and so can he. I’m not perfect but when it comes to being a wife, I think I do well. My husband does little things that frustrate the hell out of me and it creates small, little resentments that make me not want to be affectionate to him. One of the things is his gaming addiction. He will almost always put his gaming first, if I ask him to do something for me or if I want to talk to him during his gaming, he pulls off his headset and in an annoyed tone says, “What?” as though I’ve violently offended him but daring him to take his attention off gaming. Our daughter also begs for his attention while he games and he just shoos her away.

It’s not all bad, there’s times we are very happy and he doesn’t game but because of the little things he does, I have a little grudge against him that grows and grows. I just get more and more distant which almost always results in him being frustrated and name calling.

Right now he has me blocked on WhatsApp because I frustrated him. I did the most immature thing I could possibly do and harass him on every other platform to show him how ineffective blocking me on WhatsApp is and how he shouldn’t do it. He has been particularly spiteful and looks for small little revenges to “teach me a lesson”. I get spiteful too in response.

I now feel like just ignoring his existence. Keeping to myself, leaving him alone. I’m feeling hurt and frustrated and just feel like I need to vent.

Just to add: relationship is actually pretty good and healthy for the most part. This is just the very ugly bits of it and I’m feeling so deflated and over it right now.
