 You can't stop him from playing it..I have the same problem as you, which were currently working on. My husband is into World of Warcraft, I can't stand it he would get it on as soon as he came home and stay on it up until bedtime. The only times he got off it was to eat dinner, shower, or go to the bathroom. I put up with this for about 2 months then asked why is he on it so much it's like an obsession..he said it's his stress outlet. I understand stress and finding an outlet to channel it but goodness how stressed are you. So, it caused numerous arguments, one night i got so mad I asked him what was so great about it," Wow doesn't make you dinner, do your laundry, kiss you goodnight or have sex with you?" FInally, I put my foot down and compromised with him. He's only to play WoW a hour-hour and half on weeknights and on weekends he plays for 2 hours. Started off a little rocky but it's getting better. Bottom line, if it's WoW he's playing then he's not getting off it you'll have to compromise like I did, if it's another game chances are he'll eventually get burned out on it.

 He could be a WoW head. Who knows? We sure as hell don't.
Step one is telling him how you feel. After that, it's hard to say. Without more info, it is hard to give any advice.

 my fiance was addicted to pc games when we met... We never went out. He's play an online game, have sex with me and climb out of bed to play until 2 in the monring some nights. (really unhealthy but this happened every nigth we were together)When i fell pregnant I had to confront the problem and so did he. It had affected our relationship too much and I wasn't going to let it interfere with the child's upbringing. We made a compromise. He plays weekend nights, ONCE I HAVE FALLEN ASLEEP or when I take a nap during the day. It still bugs me a little as he gets so enthusiastic about it but at least it doesn't interfere with our time or his time with his daughters.

 Why do you want him to stop playing PC games? Is it an addiction? What is bothering you about it?

Does he spend too much time playing them? Do you feel ignored? Does he become aggressive when he plays these games? What is it exactly that bothers you about it? Once you know what it is, and what changes you would like to see (for example, more time together), you can then approach him and calmly talk to him about it.
