It's more of a mindless sort of activity, I suppose. Requires nothing of him. No need to interact. And he is probably a bit addicted to it.
Some guys just want to "be" much of the time. Whether it's watching sports or taking a nap. I'm thinking it's a man thing.

Another gamer widow; HI hon, I understand. My dh plays the new Diablo 3...when he got it I shook his hand and said "it's been nice to know you; I hope to see you around some time"...half jokingly of course. He spends up to 8 hrs a day on his day off work and some days of work he will stay up until 4 am playing. I go to bed at 11!!! He gets up by 11 am and goes to work...
I don't see how it is much different from having a mistress;
except for the obvious infidelity....
1-he BUYS his mistress gifts (his "ADDICTION" gets new games, I do not; heck, I don't even get flowers)
2-he SPENDS ALL OF HIS SPARE TIME and MOST OF THE TIME THAT HE COULD spend with me playing his game
3-he GETS DEFENSIVE if I say that I would like to spend time with him and I would like him to stop playing all the time...I don't say this.
4-he DOESN'T make plans with me, I have to make plans with him.
Go out and do things that YOU like to do; I take my son to the library and we go shopping and to the park. My dh bought me a laptop because I told him that I needed one (since he bought himself a new laptop JUST to play games on!!!) so I could write and get online. I am looking at some new software for interior design now...and focusing on redecorating the house. All in all, I hope he realizes that NOT spending time with me might become VERY expensive!!!! LOL...you can do the same!!! If you don't have him, HAVE WANT YOU WANT to make your life easier (I got a new dishwasher, floor steamer and bread machine and getting a new refrigerator and then stove...soon!)

He is a man child and still enjoys games. It is simple mindless fun. Most games have some type of reward for participating. It is probably something he is pretty good at and it helps him feel good about himself.

Take a sledge hammer to it. He obviously wants it more than you, so you have to treat it like an enemy.

I had never heard of Iracing until just now. I looked it up and can only say that it looks like a waste of time and resources. You need to kick your husband in the pants and tell him to grow the &@$?! up.

Next time he wants something from you, ignore him. I believe in showing people their own behavior because they just deny it with words.
