As I tell my wife when she accuses me of loving the computer more than I do her:

I could ignore her from lots of other places - a bar, another woman's apartment, the golf course, or wherever. At least I'm home when I'm home, & she can keep an eye on me.

The problem is when I'm gone, which is more than half the time. We've managed to work it out - I trust her, & she trusts me. We're working on 30 years together, & it looks like we'll make it. IME, one of the most important things in any marriage is tolerance. We both do things that annoy the other, but we tolerate them, because those things aren't as important as staying on friendly terms. During the first years of our marriage, when we were both trying to change each other, it was more difficult, but we eventually got past that. If you love him, & want to stay married, learn to tolerate some of the things he does, & be thankful he doesn't do worse. Of course, he must do the same.
