I am beginning to think my husband is addicted to the PlayStation. He runs straight for her when he gets home. Thinks about what to play when hes away. There are some things going on in his life right now that I don't think he knows how to deal with and solve so instead he solves problems and advances in the games. I am feeling jealous, resentful and lonely. I also think our children are suffering for it. I want to throw it out the window!

It sounds like your husband is using the PS3, like as in your post, to deal with his real life problems. He probally can forget about his problems during the games, and gains self confidence/pride when he wins levels, etc.
My husband loves his PS3 and computer games....I guess it's his way of relaxing after a tough day at work...he completely zones out and only focuses on the game. I can be talking to him, and he has heard basically nothing I have said. I also started feeling left out when he would play his games, so for our wedding anniversairy, I bought him two games for his PS3, but both are games we play together. This way he can play his PS3 and I can be involved, but not totally bored. I got one game that has PS3 versions of board games, and the other is 'Little Big Planet.' My husband can play and win levels, while I can still play with him, but not be bored.
Maybe try getting a game you both can play-together?
