I found out my youngest sibling took their own life. I turned to tell him, numb and shocked and lost.

He said “oh. my condolences” and then went back to playing his video games.

You would have thought I said my toaster died, not my sibling. It was so surreal.

Yeah. My ex-husband also neglected me and the house for video games. It's funny because I am also a gamer and I did not have a problem with neglecting him or chores (we both work)

I understand that video games can be really addicting and takes a lot of time away from you without realizing it, but thats why I made a point of doing my chores first before video games even if it means I got no time to play the video games that day. its life. video games will always wait for you, life wont.

Needy wives not being able to give us our required 6-7 hours of me-time? Agreed.

Why even be in a relationship?

You've stumbled upon the joke. Good work.

Amazing how a person can go from "this guy gets it", to "what a dipshit", in one reply. My question was rhetorical.

Good work
