So I have noticed (as I'm sure you guys have too with me posting about it) that my bf has changed quite a bit lately. Has become more aggressive, flips out a lot more and just seems distant. Well today I finally confronted him and think I had a revelation as I was kind of bawling my eyes out.

He comes home and does 1 of 3 things: turns on video games, turns on his laptop or turns on his iPod.

He even brings his iPod into bed and sits there looking at friggen Twitter and then I get maybe 5 minutes of time with him before he is passed out. Then I'm the one wanting more romance and communication. So I just feel completely ignored. If he is watching TV and I try to say anything to him I am completely ignored. But if I'm doing something and he wants to talk, I better drop whatever I am doing and pay him some attention.

Well I think he figured it out. I told him I was going to 'office space' his iPod and that I hope Twitter gets blown up and never operates again. I told him that his PS3 is stupid, his HD DirecTV is stupid, his laptop is stupid. And that its pretty much total bull that I come second to everything.

I really think that his recent obsession with all this crap has just made him distant and aggressive. Now I don't really know anything about addiction to technology but I'm assuming it can have the same affects as being addicted to other things. Like if you take my cigarettes away I will probably bite your head off. And if an alcoholic doesn't have a drink by a certain time, they can get very aggressive and mean.

Could this be causing this? I mean he seriously does not get off of electronics until bedtime. Then comes to me expecting to be in the mood when he has been ignoring me all night to play COD online with his friends. And it really does feel like all this stuff is a drug for him. If we are on a long car ride and he goes for several hours without this stuff, it takes absolutely nothing and he is screaming and cussing.

I never really bought into people literally being addicted to technology but at any given time, he will have the TV on watching a baseball game, with his MLB app open on his iPod while surfing on his laptop and texting. He absolutely surrounds himself with it. We just went to a baseball game and while we are sitting in the stands watching it, he has his MLB app open on his iPod! Are you kidding?! We can't even go camping - the whole point being to be in nature AWAY from all this stuff - without him running around searching for a signal.

I just don't get it. Does any of that make sense?
