Welcome to the board csg1977,
Your husband could be somewhat depressed after surgery and using video games as an escape, unless he's addicted....
Have you tried to approach him about marriage counseling?
No one wants to be in such an un-equal relationship with a partner who is acting like a child. It's not fair and certainly not what you expect in a marriage. He sounds confused, as though he thinks your his mother, not his wife. Why are you playing into it, paying the bills, doing all the errands and picking up the slack? Set up important ground rules about what the expectations are. If he cannot or will not meet them, then you have to ask yourself what you are doing here. His unwilling to assume adult responsibility is certainly not something you have to agree to endure forever. Let him know that. Let him know there are consequences to his behavior. And take a good, hard, long look at what you truly want from a relationship and how you can make this one healthy for you.
Best wishes,
