Give you 10/10 for bravery but no you were wrong. He is also very wrong putting it before his responsibilities but two wrongs don’t make a right. Communication and trust and if you don’t have that your lost in your relationship. Leads you ti a really awkward cross roads but as a couple only you both can decide which way you go!
Wonder how you would feel if he sold your stuff while away. Bet he helps even less now. Lol

You had no right to sell something of his because you don’t like him using it. If he did that with anything you care about, you’d lose your shit on him.
I would’ve just locked it away lol

From a gamers point of view, your husband had an addiction. Us gamers use games to relax or just to escape the real world at times ESPECIALLY if we had a bad day/something is bothering us. If you have him warnings that’s on him but unfortunately you took it a step further. The only thing I can recount that my wife has ever done was sell my set of subwoofer speakers that was valued at 300$ and sold the speakers and box for 40$ at her yard sale.

If a game system is what’s dividing your relationship, I don’t think you have much of a relationship. Selling it was too much.
My husband plays his game after work, weekends and on his spare time. That’s his way on winding down after a long day at work or a stressful week. He even play the same games as the kids.
Find something that helps you wind down and leave him w his.

Girl… let him leave. Take his ass to court for abandonment, and suck him dry if every penny he has. That is not a man…that is a child. Tell him to go back to his mama if he doesn’t want to participate in the family you made together.
then let him leave … any man that puts video games before his own family doesn’t deserve to have a video game system

If I had already talked to him about the situation and asked for more help and he ignored me I would’ve just went on the internet app and blocked it from the internet for awhile. I’d be mad if he went and sold my system behind my back. But it’s already done so I say he stops crying about it and spend some time with his family. And no he won’t lose progress as long as he knows his Xbox profile log in info, you just sign in on any Xbox and download the games you were playing.

You don’t go through what he goes at work. My husband plays and if you want attention stop nagging. Do all the work and instead of investing your time in worrying about him. Do you (as in at home NO CHEATING) never I mean never sell something that is not yours. Please let him know his stuff is saved to his account. That’s just wrong. I mean I used to get upset, but now I have time for meeeeeee and watching MY shows I love. Showing independence attracts him I to your world. I’m sorry to say this. Now that you have all his attention. You may need to deep ——— cause. That’s a release for men and you gave an open window. (I’m sorry if I was to blunt not trying to be mean)

Super ballsy of you to do that!!! Perfect!!! I gave away my hubbys Rottweiler years ago. I was 8 months prego with an 8 year old son. He bought the dog for himself. He spent 0 time with it. I fed it etc… it literally became to big to handle. I begged, talked and pleaded for him to either take care of it or get rid of him. After months of no change. I gave it to a family another family!! It was 3 f’ing days before he noticed!!! Which proved my point! He was furious!!! Oh well, ain’t had a dog since! Go girl!!!

You’re wrong. Selling the console without his knowledge was wrong and NOT a mature or constructive way of handling an issue in a relationship.
That being said, if he is threatening to leave over a gaming console… bye. Shows where his priorities are.

You’ve heard the saying “two wrongs don’t make a right”? That? Should be inserted here. Was his obsessive gaming ok? Absolutely not. Your behavior was equally as bad.
How would you feel if he took something that was yours, that you love, and sold it? I imagine…you’d feel similar.
I’m going to add:
If you guys have been together for a while and this is a fairly new behavior for him.
You should have (and still can btw) seriously taken the time to try to understand what’s going on with him.
That amount of gaming can mean addiction sure…but it can also mean other things.
For example…A LOT of People game to escape reality. They turn to it more during times of heightened stress, depression, or anxiety.
I personally dive into projects when I’m upset. Especially if I’m not ready to talk about it yet.

Yes, you were wrong. Yes, he was wrong to treat his family that way, but selling his Xbox won’t fix the problems you have. How would you like it if he sold something of yours that was your favorite thing … a favorite outfit or a favorite perfume that he doesn’t like … or these days it might be your iphone or your TV or your stereo. You’re treating your husband like a child, because he’s been acting like a child, but he’s not a child.
I think some marriage counseling might be in order, if you want to save the marriage.

Should of talked to him my hubby is a big game as well and I will say something to him. I game as well but nit as much as him and I know stuff like that is not cheap
You can’t force someone to do what they should for their family… selling his property will remove that but if he truly does not want to be supportive an Xbox is not going to make a difference
You are wrong for selling it. Those are not cheap and its his property. However i definitely don’t agree with neglecting your family for a game. Id have talked first or maybe hid it and told him you sold it then come clean and let him know this is his warning or something. And if he still doesn’t get it then consider leaving. Now he will resent you and prob get another system and want to play the game even more to get back his progress to where it was before.

For those that say. “Tell him to grow up) or the “to leave” just stop. Cause be happy he is at home instead of something else. Men get frustrated just like women. Yes I get it. We MAY do more. Cause that’s our babies. Do not get mad at him. You may feel alone and I get it. After a long hard day at work. You want to unwind. Let him do that. He isn’t sticking his joy stick somewhere else. Be happy.
Is the guys name Devon 
same situation I had exact same done left his ass months ago 
Ok question before you did this did you try to discuss this with him? Have it out and tell him what you want and need from him? Did you warn him that if he didn’t do better you would do that? Or did you just decide one day while he was at work, without giving him fair warning etc to change his ways, before dishing out consequences as you saw fit? Marriage is a partnership not a dictatorship and communication is key. Good luck.

It wasn’t yours to sell and if you think your relationship is going to get better after selling his Xbox you are sadly mistaken. I can only imagine what type of human being you are. Your relationship has a lot of problems that venture much deeper than the Xbox. You didn’t help anything, you made matters much worse. Regardless of his effort into your relationship you should replace his Xbox because again it wasn’t yours to sell. You could have tried couples therapy, date night, better communication, anything but you didn’t. You were hurt and you wanted him to hurt like you were hurting and so you sold the one thing that mattered to him in your opinion. It was childish. You both deserve other people.

Not in the wrong at all, gaming addiction. Is serious and if he isn’t helping with the house or kids I’d do the same.
Let him walk out over an Xbox. Shows his priorities and will be great to tell the kids as they get older why daddy chose not to be around.
I have 0 empathy for him.
As an adult of you have to game to escape you need to check your priorities… and seek help.

Yes it was wrong. What if he sold something of yours? Also wrong of him not to help tho.
Haha! You go! I wouldn’t do it but I appreciate your lady balls 
He’s wrong for being on the game so much but you’re absolutely wrong for selling his gaming system. My husband is a gamer and he works his tail off so it’s his way to unwind. I don’t blame your husband for being mad. I’d be livid if my husband sold my games and stuff without my consent.
I’m not sure what kind of work your husband does or if you work full time or are a SAHM. But my husband works construction 60+ hours a week & is on call 24/7(they fix water main breaks & leaks) his Xbox is his way to unwind from working so hard. Especially in this heat he works his butt off and he likes to come home, cool off, unwind & get on his game with his buddies. He still helps around the house mostly on the weekends because he is so wore out from working so hard during the week(I don’t blame him) there has to be comprise. I would much rather my husband be at home playing his Xbox on the mic with his buddies than out drinking or doing god knows what. I know he is safe and I know it is what helps him unwind, relax and just gives him a break from life for a little bit, it is his escape. I do 100% think you were in the wrong for selling his Xbox. It should have been a discussion and you should’ve communicated how you feel and asked him to help you more when he can. Communication is KEY in a marriage!! But to sell something that is his escape and hobby like that behind his back was not the right thing to do. I’m sorry this is just my opinion!
All these new school people. Lmao.
No one is old school crazy anymore and that’s why all these people are crying about how their husband doesn’t do anything.
Well here is an unpopular opinion.
I would have done the same thing.
I probably would have broken it.
Let him be mad. Sometimes you gotta make a point. And let him leave. Sounds like he’d be doing you a favor.

Wow his only time away from reality and you sold it? You’re a shitty person
Being the wife of a gamer I can understand both sides of this. Like you said he doesn’t help with anything around the house or spend time with you but in his perspective you’ve done the worst possible thing. I want to say you shouldn’t have done this but I can see why you did. You’ve basically given him an ultimatum and I’d wouldn’t be surprised if he chooses the Xbox over you. I would think the Xbox obsession is covering up for something else going on with him. Maybe insecurity or something else. I would definitely seek counselling. This is clearly an obsession that’s taken over his life where he needs professional help.
Yea wow I’d leave you to for selling my belongings, imagine if u came home and he sold all your makeup and perfume and his reasoning being u don’t need to look good or smell good when u leave the house you’ve got me……
I would do the same thing. My husband was this way. And it ended up being him in a relationship with some girl on the thing. 
some people are just plain stupid I guess.

Some time before and after work I could see, but not all that fine you described . I’d be petty and hide his cords though . I wouldn’t sell it .
