Well, your hubby is probably chasing rep, or collecting medals.
Can I recommend that you set up a reward system at home to keep him interested in RL:
And not to mention badges for doing the dishes, taking out the garbage and playing with the kids.
And I'm sure that you can figure out how he can trade in all this rep for some bedroom time with you. But that's NSFW :)

Propose to do something "more fun" with him.
Write a BotNet to downvote all of his contributions so that he has no incentive. If you need help to do this try StackOverflow
If you think you have to be in charge of controlling someone else, you may want to do some enquiry into your own thinking.
Lead by example :-)
Also, voting to close (on stackoverflow).
Update
I'm not sure if the OP meant this in jest however I'm updating my answer to be clearer on what I really think.
I'll speak about myself since I really can't know what's true for someone else.
When I find myself asking questions like "How do i stop x person from doing y" or "How can I get x person to think y thing about me", any of those kinds of thoughts, I know it's time to enquire into my own thoughts.
When I beleive the thought that anyone should be different than how they are right now I find that I treat them in a way that isn't the most loving I can be.
The lesson that I want to teach the people I love is that I love them unconditionally, that is, without any conditions. When I start acting asif they're not absolutely perfect as they are right now, that they need to change something (to make me happy), I know I'm living a lie.
What's real is that people are people, what's not real is how I imagine they "should" be and it's reality that I love, not an imaginary world of thoughts.
What it always comes down to for me is whether I'm loving myself without condition. I can project that love onto other people along with a host of other beliefs, values, thoughts, and I can act like it's them who needs to change. It's just that for me, when I'm being that way I know I'm not loving myself without condition.
