Natasha asks :
Hi Lucy,
Me and my boyfriend have only been together 2 months and he lives with me. He seems to spend every single day playing on the X-Box. I hardly see him, I need help I don’t know what else to do.
Hi Natasha,

In every relationship, it's important that couples find things to do alone and together, however if this becomes unbalanced then someone ends up feeling unhappy.
Perhaps he hasn't realised how much time he's spending on the X-Box and how it's affecting your feelings about the relationship. It has the potential to become a habit that he might assume is ok with you, but if it's not then maybe you need to speak up.
I would suggest talking to him about spending more time together and asking him to cut down on his digital usage. You have not been together a long time so it's understandable that you want to make the most of not only your honeymoon period but also the fact that you are living under one roof.
There are so many ideas you could suggest that would give him the incentive not to think about his X-Box. Watch a DVD together, go to the movies, go out for a meal, go for a walk- have sex! Perhaps you need to show him the possibilities to make him realise there is more to life and your relationship than gaming.
