Absolutely you’re wrong. You don’t sell your partner’s property without their permission. It’s an abusive behavior and controlling.

Honestly this whole story is a mess…
If you communicated with him about how you feel and he did nothing about it then I would have just walked away. You obviously knew that by selling this it was going to cause further issues. He has a right to be upset. This isn’t how adults handle things. You both are handling this marriage in wrong ways.
Was he a gamer before you guys got married?
Being in a relationship with a gamer isn’t for the weak…I am glad mine has an equal balance of his time.
You did the right thing.

Well, I think you know now that you definitely weren’t right lol.
Is he wrong for playing video games 24 7 and not helping you? Yes.
Is it simultaneously absurd and sad you felt the need to sell an adults possession? Also, yes.
Does the answer being yes to those questions justify what you did? Absolutely not.
Took me months to find and secure a brand new xbox and you straight sold his sh!t on marketplace 
ruthless, but take a moment to imagine HIM deciding YOU are on your phone too much, or spend too much time fixing your hair or doing your make up, or whatever thing you enjoy doing as an adult, so he sells your sh!t?!? Obviously not cool to do something so permanent to something that isn’t yours and you don’t even care ab.
Yes totally wrong! I would’ve just hid the system while talking to him about it instead of going behind his back and selling it. Plus it wasn’t yours to sell

I would let him go, yes you may have went to far but you need to find someone who pays attention to you and your family! He is literally throwing a fit like a child would!!!
Okay, so first, you’re both toxic af. I can’t even get to my second point because you guys need therapy.

if the relationship doesn’t work out, she’s not replacing it, it’s a marital loss, he lost progress and a system she lost time and effort put into a relationship that she’ll never get back
that will scar her more then him not having his xbox ever will!

I had the same issue but you were wrong for selling something of his. Do you want him selling something you cherish and care about. You can litterly go in the settings and put a time limit. He honestly did loose all of his progress. It’s on the system you sold. Unless he had a external hard drive. It’s wrong he’s on it so much but that is a habit that can be changed and fixed! It takes time and dedication on both ends. You should never sell his property. If I did that to my husband he’d be hurt and say he wants to leave too. He’s saying he wants to leave because you took something of his and sold it behind his back. If you were struggling for bills I would get that but you did it to spite him and to make him bad because you’re feelings are hurt. There are other ways around this. I know because I’ve been there. You have gone too far. If someone works they should have their time to play the game. Should it be 24/7 after he’s off. No but that could have been fixed. Now he has to restart his progress when he buys another AND HE May just be on it even longer. I hope he puts a password on this one so if you try and sell it they get fked in the process because what you did crossed many boundaries! You could have hid it! Now do the right thing and give him the money YOU made for selling his property so he can go and buy a new one. What you did to me would have made me want to leave too

I wouldn’t have sold it I would have hid it and he could do stuff to get it back. Then in a few weeks hide it again. Idk… he should be with his family but you need to figure out how to modivate him.
This behavior is toxic. Simple.
Did you talk with your spouse? Try to work through it? Make a schedule? Communicate?
Or did you just assume he would know what your asking of him and then sell his favorite thing?
My fiances a gamer. I helped build his PC, hell I bought him the latest XBox system for Christmas last year. I would communicate before ever stooping this low.
I would never manipulate my spouse like this nor would destroy his property. At that point you should have just left on your own, especially given you like to jump straight to the consequences.

I get your frustration. Use words. Be adult husband and wife and sit and talk about these issues.
You should have hid it and told him you sold it to prove a point. But since you sold it, Buy a new one and try to come to a compromise. If that’s not attainable then see if he really leaves

I understand where you are coming from. I probably wouldn’t have sold it, maybe hidden it instead. But your husband needs to grow up and contribute to the household. He’s not a house mate. If he doesn’t want to, you might need to think if this is what you want your life to be.

I would be pissed if my husband sold my xbox. You should of talked about it, put aside times for him to play, something. I know personally that gaming is an escape from every day stresses and you just took that away. If he sold something you cherished while you were out, you would be pissed too.

Wow, even if he is being an (blank) you don’t sell his sh**. That causes more problems as you notice. What if he got mad at you for something and sold your stuff, I am sure you would be pissed. You two need to hv a conversation and try to resolve it. Mean time u go out and buy him another one and apologize. Be the bigger person. Then talk to him about how u feel, tell him what you need. If he doesn’t listen or change then he doesn’t want to, doesn’t respect and you hv a choice to make, divorce or put up with it.

Toxic as fuck to sell someone’s console, no wonder the mf ain’t talking to you if that’s how you act
I mean anyone that thinks it’s okay to just take something their significant other loves/loves doing and sell it has some deep
Issues… sounds to me like you’re just straight up lying to make you not seem as crazy for selling it… prolly one of them chicks that thinks the universe revolves around you and that he should never do anything that doesn’t revolve around you and got mad he plays his Xbox a little bit… he should leave your immature ass regardless of whether you replace his Xbox or not
Don’t sell other peoples shit. You sound toxic asf and I’d leave your ass too.
He need to grow the FU@K up! Life isn’t playing stupid games. Good for you! But he won’t change.
Yep u were wrong. It’s his possession. It’s his hobby and passion. If u don’t support that then find a new man that fits your wants. There’s lots of relationships were they both are gamers… maybe try playing with him?

I would be pissed at you too!! 
He didn’t put effort into you to start with it sounds like. 
I mean… you shouldn’t have sold it. I’d be pissed too, but he needs to grow up!
In my opinion, yea you were dead wrong for that. He’s 100% wrong for not helping with the kids, house etc but to sell his gaming system without his permission, while he’s at work, seems really childish and petty. I can absolutely understand why you were angry but there was a much better way to handle it. I know everyone is different, we all have different things we will/won’t put up with but, to me, seems like there’s a lot worse he could be doing besides playing his game. It’s about compromise, on BOTH your parts. My husband is a hardcore gamer, he’s playing Evil Dead on his XBox as I’m typing this lol but I know how much he loves it and how it helps his depression, being able to do things in which he finds joy. I’m the same way with reading my books 
I could never take that away from him, nor would I want to, because I love him. If my husband decided to sell my books while I was at work, without at the very LEAST talking to me about it, I’d be just as pissed off, and I’m not losing the progress I’ve worked on for who knows how long like your man just did. May seem like “just a game” to you but obviously it’s important to him and unfortunately we don’t get to choose what is/isn’t important to our SO

He should absolutely pitch in and help with your family, but you’re borderline psycho in my opinion for sneaking around and selling his peace of mind. It sounds like you’re a bit combative and I know some people shut down when met with that type of energy. He is silly for thinking his progress in the game matters more than your family though. You need to have a clear discussion of realistic expectations and you need to understand his gaming is escapism. Talk about when it’s appropriate for him to play and when it’s not. You’d think it would be common sense, but you can’t expect someone to be the ideal mate without communicating your needs no matter how obvious they seem. I don’t agree with the other comments that you should leave your marriage, but something definitely has to change. Also, don’t do shit behind his back! It’s just not right!
WOW! TOXIC ASF!!!

You’re definitely in the wrong. That’s something he obviously enjoys and uses to decompress. Maybe he’s getting depressed or has something going on and he’s using his game as an escape and coping mechanism. You clearly think you’re his mother and deserve the right to punish him smh.

You just did what a million other women have only thought of doing. I get why he’s mad but he needs to grow the hell up and interact with you and the kids. I mean, turn the tables and threaten to leave HIM. Tell him you’re gonna take his kids away and find a grown man to be there for you & help with the kids. If he’d rather lose you and the kids than his Xbox, let him go. When kids ask what happened when they’re older, straight up tell them that Daddy chose a video game over us.

Please tell me this is a joke. You never sell something that gives someone enjoyment. You selling it makes you seem controlling. Have a conversation about him helping more,maybe seek outside help like counseling. If he doesn’t want to spend time with you or the kids or help then just leave. Selling his things is not going to make him want to change.
