I was married for almost 4 years to my husband, then a friend introduced him to an online game.  At first he played for a little while maybe twice a week and still spent time with my son and I.  But then he went to playing it for about an hour everyday, stopped playing with my son.  Then it was up to 8 hours a day.  He did work, but when he got up in the morning he got on the game till it was time to go, then as soon as he got home he was on the game again til at least 4 in the morning.  I asked him to cut down on the game and he did for a few days but it was like he was mad at me whenever i tried to talk to him when he was not playing it.  If my son tried to play with him he would push him away and ignore him after that.  I started to play the game just to see what it was all about and it was fun, but not fun enough to make me forget about what was most important in my life.  I started feeling  like my husband and i were just roommates.  I would cook for him and he would never eat until 3-4 hours later.  I finally got tired of feeling like i was alone and told him that i couldn't do it anymore.  By this time i had asked him to stop playing numerous times(never stopped)  once i told him that i wanted a divorce he tried for a litttle while and we tried to work it out but by then my heart was not in our marriage anymore.  I moved out of state to get a better job and reciently found out that he is still playing the same game.  Addiction to these games is not normal and should not be taken lightly, no game is worth losing your family or your own life over. IT IS ALL JUST MAKE BELIEVE.
