awww hey i'm sorry. some people just have their problems. sometimes you can't help them and they just have to work it out themselves. it might take a few month or ten years, it's really up to them.

I hope everything works out for you!

well we r not ova but i can c us not lasting bcoz of it, it hurts 2 b put last over a fucking game out of all things

im sorry. you deserve better.

I'm really sorry your marriage didn't work out over the fact hes a gamer. don't beat yourself up over the fact it's games hes into though, out of all the addictions in the world, he could be doing far worse. Gaming has become insane, it currently holds the record for biggest industry on the planet. with games becoming more advanced and realistic, people are becoming slowly more addicted and into them. kinda makes you wonder what it will be like in 20 years. but like I said, I'm real sorry to hear about your marriage breaking up, it's bad when someone puts wow constantly before a beautiful woman and his family.

you knew it before you married him. i know it. but i'm glad your through with him. yo'll be fine.

actully no i didnt kno it b4 i married him it all started as so as he got the fucking game which was about 3 months after we got married Neirfane no we r not over but i can see it happening

Gaming is very hard for the gamer to get away from because of how real it all seems. You live because your mind releases chemicals that are pure pleasure. I can appreciate your pain and I wish you good luck. What did you do before he gamed, can you get him out of the house to do family things picnics etc .. not sure what will work . . he has to find his own way out good luck

quite honestly people that get addicted in video games feel that they can be whoever they want to be online.

so if you decide to abandon him because of this issue you'll just make his life worse.

It's because of WoW that I quit video games altogether - more of the last straw really. My wife would often tell me that she felt like WoW was an ex-girlfriend.

Instead of spending time with her, working on the house, or working toward life goals, I was spending every once of "available" time on the stupid game. I've been WoW-sober for 9 full days now, and I'll be video games sober for 7 days tomorrow. I haven't relapsed since. I know that probably doesn't sound impressive, but it's taken daily self-control and intention.

zbaby, I feel for you, your child, and your husband. He has a serious problem. I hope your leaving him shocks him into a moment of sobriety that allows him to see the true costs of his behavior. It could be a hard path. I know there were times that when my wife was talking about leaving me or about how she didn't want me playing so much, the demon in me would whisper, "who cares? you'd rather have more time play WoW anway. if she's not here to bother you, all the better". Fortunately, I had enough clarity of mind to shake that horrid logic out of my head and chose to pursue riches, glory, and honor in reality instead of some video game. I truly hope your husband comes around, as well.
