I would’ve been pissed if my husband sold my Xbox or PlayStation. Like why wouldn’t you even talk to him about it? Just go and sell his stuff? How would you feel if he sold your shit? Or broke your stuff? Not right.

Imo you were wrong! I can see maybe after work he needs to unwind…however you needed to talk to him about it…and if he doesn’t listen just go on with life like he’s not there or leave him

You were definitely wrong girl. Simple communication would’ve fixed this and if it didn’t, then you should’ve made a choice about your relationship and not selling your husbands things out of spite. First thing you need to do is grow up and second, buy your husband a new Xbox.

Yeah, you were wrong. Communication matters.
Gaming addiction is a thing so discussing it, like adults, should’ve been first. If he wants to leave over it, you don’t have a husband; you have an extra child.

Wrong! You had to throw the man away!
I mean you’re wrong for selling his Xbox. And from personal experience if he’d rather be on the games than with you and your kids it’s time to move on. He won’t change. Been there done that and have never been happier just being my daughter and I and not having the extra frustration.

You were definitely in the wrong, that was his property and if you didn’t like how much he was playing you should’ve had a conversation like a normal adult. Not sell someone else’s stuff that probably can’t be replaced for years, if it ever can, because you can’t find them anywhere since Covid.

Yes you’re wrong. That’s technically theft if he’s the one that paid for it. Did you even tell him how you felt about his constant gaming or did you just sell his system? You can’t just sell your spouse’s things ( especially things over $500 because that’s a felony) because you feel spiteful.

Is he the only income provider? If so I think you were wrong. You probably should have talked to him first.
I expect my husband to help with the house and kids just as much as I do because we both work. If I was a stay at home mom I would have no issues. As long as he’s not pushing our kids away for the game.
I think you over reacted, I would have tried hiding it before legit selling it

You’re both at fault here. He needs to know when to hang up the controller and help, and you needed to communicate your needs before up and selling something he’s had probably longer than yall have been together.

Instead of asking for couples therapy you sold his stuff? Did you try asking to play his game with him so you could bond or ask to try other activities with him like hiking as a family? How would you feel if he sold your phone because you were in it too much?

Yeah you crossed the line… never sell something that isn’t yours. Replace it. The right thing would’ve been having a talk with him to express how you feel …

If you have an issue with his gaming then talk about and make plans to grow and change together. If that isn’t an option… then pack your stuff and leave.

Honestly, video game addiction is a very real issue for many people.
I would’ve sold the f*cking thing too girl. Clearly you & the kids are not his priority and now you’ve got his attention!!
Don’t let him make you feel guilty when he clearly doesn’t feel guilty about prioritizing the REAL WORLD and his very real commitments and responsibilities.
All that being said, I’m super grateful that my hubby puts time with our daughter, pup and myself above everything except for work.
Pretty sure it goes without saying that I would sell his gaming systems if he pulled this crap!
I’m tempted to tag him to confirm but he’s working

Petty af… kinda wish I had the balls…jk Tho. Bad. Communication is 
!
Least he didn’t put his hands on you. My ex did all over a game system. They take those things so seriously…however you are very wrong for selling his stuff and I was wrong for tossing his system out a window. Just try n make a time frame for him to play n one to help.
I get where you’re coming from but if i were him id be mad too. That’s a lot of progress made and you should have been blunt. Help me with the kids or were done I need a man not a teenager. If he chose to continue to not help id have moved on and let him keep his game for company. With that said though everyone deserves to be able to wind down after work and theres a lot worse he could be doing than playing a game at home.

Both wrong. He’s being a child, and you were a child. He may be justified in his need to decompress, and you may be in the right in your need for him to grow up and literally stop playing games when it’s detrimental to you and your family and your sanity. He’s not a stud, his sole purpose is not to make money and make babies. And if he can’t get that through his head, tell him you are preparing to leave and do it alone since you’re doing it alone anyway. UNLESS he chooses to meet you in the middle.
But yeah, selling his Xbox was 1000% not the way to go about this

You aren’t his mother, you can’t dictate his actions, or sell his things. But u can dictate what u accept so if you are not happy then it’s up to you to decide if you wanna stay in this relationship or not. I can tell you I was in this exact type of relationship for over 10 years and 3 kids later, and I’ve since left and got married and he’s still playing his game. You can communicate, you can try and get him to see your side but ultimately it’s up to him, and it’s up to you what you tolerate. But definitely don’t sell his stuff, you can’t control him

Would you be mad if he sold your stuff because he didn’t like you being on it or using it.
While I do agree he shouldn’t be on it 24/7 selling it wasn’t the right thing to do.
