My HB is gaming with women/ Question for gamers.

Hello, I’m not sure if I should be concerned or just let it be. I overheard my husband giving some women dating advice while he was playing video games. I didn’t think much of it but recently during him gaming I’ve also heard comments like “you like it big right lol”. Then he continues to play.

I know these people are from all over the world and I don’t think he actually knows them in person but just games with them from time to time. I guess he currently plays valheim.
And on discord he stays in touch with them. I know it’s both men and women. He also talks about us being married and us having a baby soon. I overhear him all the time. So idk if I should be concerned about these random uncomfortable comments I sometimes hear he makes.
I’ve never been a gamer or on discord so I really don’t know what it’s like.

What do y’all think? Thanks!

If you have no other reason to believe that he would do anything or take things further then I wouldn’t stress. I’m a gamer myself and use discord often. However if you’ve got other valid concerns then bring it up to your hubby. And if the dating advice or comments make you uncomfortable you mention it and set some boundaries around it.

Unfortunately even in my ex telling another girl gamer (that he never met prior) that he was with someone/kids etc he lied to my face and went out with one of these girls, to dinner/drinks - dunno what happened exactly and doubt he’d ever tell me the truth. But he’s a POS and lost my trust before this incident.

I wouldn’t worry bout it. I game with my boyfriend and his friends. We play online as well and there’s all types of ppl in different lobbies. The random dumb comments just come with it & is all out fun & harmless. We talk crazy to ppl almost everyday and just crack up😆especially when we get an opposite team or someone who will join in on it lmao

Thanks! On discord you can also meet people that live nearby?
I have no idea how it works.

Nah I mean there’s servers and groups similar to here you can chat on etc. he just managed to find someone on his game that lived close by in our state

I don’t think it’s a concern him playing with women, but I do think regardless if he talks about you/baby he shouldn’t be making sexual innuendo comments. Just because he’s open about being married doesn’t mean it’s okay… it’s not like married men don’t cheat right?

If you have no other concerns outside of this I would give him benefit of the doubt and just say to him you don’t feel comfortable with him making those types of flirty jokes to other women and if he carries on then… get on a game yourself with men and start making flirty jokes to them out loud and I’m sure he will have something to say 😂
No in all seriousness I wouldn’t be too pleased.. look what Sharnee said..I’m sure that started out as ‘harmless’ jokes before he went and met one of them when he had the chance.. and as for discord it depends what their conversations are about

Honestly I wouldn't be worried. I have a few very close gaming friends and we fuck around and make jokes all the time. That being said we also all exchange advice and talk about our significant others and our kids constantly. in one of my long standing groups he sent us a thread of pictures from his engagement and was so psyched that he finally proposed to his woman and all of us were so excited for him. That being said me and the 2 other girls in our gc have absolutely been questioned by our guy friends significant others in the past purely based off of the way they make some jokes with us and it can be some degree of concerning at times especially if there's no real base for them ever speaking to us. If you're uncomfortable maybe ask if you can play with them? I've actually gotten pretty close to my gamer friends significant others over the years and I love it!

My husband don’t really talk with the opposite gender when he’s gaming. If he’s in a game with randoms and there’s a woman, he doesn’t interact. He doesn’t quite interact with the female either if she’s one of his homies friends and they’re all in a group chat together.

I also play video games and I’ll play with randoms but never talk with them. I dislike talking, I just play for fun. I mainly speak when playing if it’s friends I know, family or with my husband.

Same goes for discord. I, personally don’t use discord to talk to randoms. I use discord to talk to my siblings when playing as they have PC/computer and I’m on console.

For my husband discord, he finds servers for whatever games he’s playing to have a buddy to play with. He also have siblings and friends that they’re in a group chat together.

Discord, you can talk, video chat and join servers but you don’t personally have to join servers and stuff. They can be all around the world, ect,.

My other half has discord and games online. I'm either in the room or pottering and he says I'm there. He talks about me. He makes me presence in his life very well known and the same with our son. It's just the bullshit chat. Sometimes the women flirt harmlessly but others do try to rock the boat. If he talks about you and baby he is letting them know he has his life away from gaming.

My husband has never disrespected me so far and I do hear him talking about me all the time but I do get a little jealous with the small comments I guess. Does it make you jealous sometimes, him talking to other women? Or how do you deal with it?

Avatar

Honestly, I asked him to add me to the group conversation so I could hear it.
Plus, I can join in. 😌 he knows I'm insecure on those days, and he supports me, or he feels the guys I'm in the room, and then they get him to pass around his headphones.

All I do if there is a new woman is kiss him over the headset 😆 🤣

My mans is a gamer, but has no gamer girl friends. He doesn’t feel the need to interact with women because gaming has all types of male friends, so what’s the need for a female one? Plus I’m a gamer and plays almost every single game he does. I was a gamer before I even knew him and I’ve had female friends that were cool, and I’ve also had the sneaky female friends. So it really just depends on your husband and how he looks at your guy’s relationship. Having a female friend regardless for a man can only go one of 2 ways and it truly depends on him on which way it goes. So it’s up to you if you’re ok with him having female friends. And if you are but you don’t really like the comments then talk to him about it, set boundaries as those are always good.

Husband things it's only HIS money.

Hello. I have one question. I am SAHM and my husband works earning around £4000 a month after tax. He gives me £600 every month to cover groceries and household items which normaly cost around £500 or £550. We have two children aged 5 years and 10 months. So nothing much left for my personal spending without me going back to him and asking him for more money, which is most of the time met with lots of questions and me feeling like a child asking a parent for pocket money. Like I need to be scared to buy anything without him judging me. I do not have access to his bank account and therefore to any family funds what we hold. So I am just asking if this is a normal standard situation for SAHMs or should I demand joint access to his accounts and equal right to spend? Obviouly with common sense. Every big purchase would need to be discussed. But me for example wanting to buy new clothes or in need of personal items without me going to him asking for "permission". What should I do? His opinion is that he works and it is his money. So what about me? Am I not doing enough don't deserve to feel like an equal partner? Don't I have any rights? How are you handling finances as SAHM ?

Nursery

Hi all,
Just picked my LG up from her 3rd and last settling in session with nursery and the last 2 times we’ve picked her up, she’s been inconsolably crying. Do I ask the nursery if they think she needs any more settling in sessions or do I just hope it gets better when she starts going full time? She’ll be going 2 full days a week so she does need to be comfortable with them.

They said they think she’s tired when I did hand over but since we’ve got home she’s back running around my living room playing and being her usual self. In the car she did look tired and she’s had a cuddle and bottle since.

Baby dad destroying my things

I was done with him a few weeks ago he doesn’t see his child apart from maybe 1 hour on a Sunday occasionally he just demands everything back he ever got me the whole 4 years I knew him or pay him back all he got me was some clothes and a 1.2k car which I need to transport our daughter around
I said I’ll pay you back if you really need it )he doesn’t he makes 4 k months) everything else he ever got me was destroyed long ago after any argument we had by him

He said fine I’m not giving you any money for our child till you repay me 4k ) I am on universal credit and get 800 to live on)
Like that money is for our child… not me he’s so selfish
Anyway I work up today he came in the night to slash all my tyres and cut the battery off..
So i now have no car to take me daughter to appointments and nursery.
He’s so so selfish and evil I asked him why he did that he said it’s my car fuck you

Potty training a boy

I’ve started potty training he’s peed multiple times and pooped once. And seems to know when I put him on the potty he should pee because he tries to every time. But the issue I’m having is him knowing when he has to and letting me know. Sometimes he will with poop but it’s usually while he’s actually popping. I don’t know what to do to get him to realize he has to go. Appreciate any advice or tips!😊
