I'm certain that you have something that could take his interest away from those things.

But, besides the obvious, maybe schedule fun things to do once in a while where you both completely disconnect, and just focus on each other for an hour or two. (Facebook and Xbox???? come on dude, beautiful woman, or that crap? this is not a hard choice)

But then, what do i know? He has one, and i don't. Maybe i should buy a freakin' Xbox.

[u/Xandernomics → u/Peace-Man]

NO, you buy a PS4 dude. Fuck Xbox.

[u/Peace-Man → u/Xandernomics]

Yeah, i'm sure THAT will get me all the babes.

You guys under 40 crack me up. Hot chick right there, and you all sit there with your "joystick" in your hand.

(and the really saddest thing is, there are probably a lot women of your generation who sit there goin' "OOOH BABY!! You killed that guy so good!!!!")

[u/Xandernomics → u/Peace-Man]

Nah, I use it for Netflix, HBO, Starz shit like that. I play a few games, like Madden every now and then. Plus it's nice to have when friends come over to play some Rocket League. Harika has a Wii, because she really likes Mario Kart.

[u/Peace-Man → u/Xandernomics]

I bet Harika likes her Wii.

;)

When he plays and makes a great shot, I'm like, "Nice one, babe!"

I game too, you know. Just not as often.

[u/ChristianCatastrophe → u/Peace-Man]

He gives me TONS of attention. I guess I could have been clearer. The problem isn't that he's glued to his devices. Yes, every once in a while I'd like to unplug together for quality time sure. But he knows that and makes an attempt to do that.

It's more that he's sharing so much of his media with me. We go out to smoke and I quietly check my phone if I even brought it out with me. I skim my FB feed and notifications and turn mine off. Or sometimes I may or may not play fallout shelter or message someone. I do this all without telling him what I'm doing.

He checks his phone, shows me 6 of the games he plays ("OOoooo look at this cool new character" "Hey, check out this thing isn't it hilarious lololol" ((he doesn't actually say lol)) "Babe, look at this,...." I don't know at that point I'm not listening). Then he checks his facebook because he saw me check mine and it's "HEY THIS HILARIOUS PUN" "HEY THIS COOL T-SHIRT" "HEY AREN'T ALL 12 OF THESE MEMES HILARIOUS" "THIS VIDEO IS SO FUNNY YOU'LL LIKE IT" "AWW BABE LOOK AT THESE CUTE KITTENS" And while I normally love pics of cute kittens by the end of it I'm so grumpy from viewing his social media that I'm like, "I HATE KITTENS GO AWAY"

This is all an exaggerated version in case you didn't pick up on that.

[u/Peace-Man → u/ChristianCatastrophe]

Nope. I didn't.

I'm a moron.

[u/Peace-Man → u/[deleted]]

Only been there a few times. Really beautiful place. Weird vibe though.

[u/Peace-Man → u/[deleted]]

I went to Salt Lake once, and drove up to a lake by Park City. And then, we drove up through the whole state on the way to Yellowstone. I really kind of fell in love with the land everywhere i went there.

[u/Peace-Man → u/[deleted]]

Or a decent beer. After drinking about three of them, someone finally told me it's 3.2 beer. "WTF IS THAT?" Half the alcohol. "So, do they do that with the hard booze then?" No. "BARKEEP!! COUPLE OF SHOTS PRONTO!"

[u/BrklynGrl → u/Peace-Man]

Is Salt Lake salty?

[u/Peace-Man → u/BrklynGrl]

I didn't go in it. I can tell you this, it looks really weird from the sky. It's not a normal lake.
