Beloved of All
I'm really tired of praying about this. I've prayed about it for years & eventually gave up, but here I am again. Why would God choose to not answer a prayer that is good for all of us? Here is my prayer request... Please pray that God will remove my husband's addiction to videogames. He is 40 years old & acts extremely childish and selfish when he plays so much. He acts wildly different... it's hard to explain. He is loud and wakes all of us up with his yelling into the night. Yes, he's having a great ole time I suppose. I don't mind if gaming were just a hobby, but it isn't just a hobby for him. It is a full-blown very annoying and childish addiction where he lacks self-awareness and empathy for the rest of us. I used to try to tell him kindly that he plays too much, but he would just say I'm a nag. I have retreated into watching YouTube videos forever.... it helps take my mind off of the hurt, but it is an unhealthy habit. Please also pray that I can be attracted to my husband again. His videogame addiction makes him so very unattractive in my eyes, for the childish way he acts and also his lack if taking care of his health. He will go and eat junk throughout the night while he plays & blame me for his weight gain. He will also forget to shower regularly. I dare not say anything or he says I have an attitude. His unhealthy videogame addiction is also setting a bad example for our children. He is showing him that that is all he does and it's ok if they do too. Please help. I don't want to pray about this anymore and had quit for a while, but it eats me up inside & is a hindrance to having a good marriage ...
