Marriage is supposed to be about partnership, love, and showing up for one another, especially when kids are involved. But what happens when your partner slowly checks out, choosing a screen over shared memories, and you’re left carrying the emotional weight of keeping the family together? That’s where I find myself now. I never imagined I’d be questioning whether I married a husband… or just a roommate with a gaming addiction.

Let’s find out what other Redditors think about this story.
At the end of the day, my kids deserve a father who shows up for them, not someone who shrugs off milestones, ignores their excitement, and laughs when confronted about it. I can handle disappointment, but watching my children normalize his absence and even feel relieved when he doesn’t come along? That cut deeper than anything. So, Reddit, am I overreacting by calling him out… or is my husband the one truly failing our family here?
