What do i do now

Married to the Military
I am and have been married for 5 1/2 years now. My husband is active duty but on recruiting duty now. i think our marriage may be coming to the point where I cannot reach him anymore. He comes home from work and gets right on the computer and does not get off till later at night when he is ready for bed. He plays an online role playing game....at one time i played it with him. I have slowly stopped playing. Whenever I try to talk to him I get the "sigh" and the I'll listen while I type in the game response. I can never get him t fully listen to me. I have been tellling him for quite some time I am unhappy but he seems not to care. It is to the point where I feel abandoned in my own house. At one time this apartment used to be filled with love and laughter not it is filled with strangers' voices out of computer speakers. I really want to talk this over with him and try to work things out but I think he may not want to which is why I keep getting the treatment I get. I am lost and want to know what other steps to follow. We have went to counseling but he stopped, saying "it didnt help". I don't knwo what else I can do I really love him and wantt his to work but how do I knwo if it is mutual? What would you do ?

Could it be that he is unhappy and this is his escape from the problems at work and in his marriage?
This is waynes wife we both play online games and we talk and play together make a deal you play with him , But you have some family time after you fix dinner ? We both love to play but ... The kids come first homework and dinner then they get to play games for 30 min and then its bed time and we play together. just remember that if he is playing all night
with a female a that is not you he is spending all the time with her and she is hearing his problems not you . Try to get back playing with him. Talking to his command or IG or have a Chaplin threaten him is not going to bring you closer but drive you apart. first try compromise that is what a marriage is . Hiding his comp If Wayne did that to me it would only upset me not make me try to work on things.
Wayne is in the Army my ex was Navy I know as well as you do the stress is unbelieveable and when you atre looking at a years deplyment to Iraq the stress just doubled.

Then you go to the Chaplain yourself, or to IG, or your post's JAG office, and THEY give you the chief's number, since your spouse won't and it's his responsibility.
My ex would drag tail getting things done that the Army considered "his" responsibility, not the 'dependent's. He used to get in sooooo much trouble, because eventually I would get tired of waiting weeks for a new ID card or for them to get the housing utilities turned on, and he just could 'never' manage to find the time off from his job to do so (he just didnt have the balls to tell his BC he had domestic responsibilities he needed to take care of). But because I Had to get these things taken care of myself, and I called EVVVVVVVVVVVVERYbody I could think of, eventually he got the message that some things HE should be responsible for. Having his chain of command and a way to contact them is one of those things he should have given you from day 1.
