Hello

 

Thanks Dr. Phil for addressing this problem.  This underground world is continually coming out of the closet.

 

I’ve enjoyed reading most of the post and its understandable how some people become defensive about their addiction.  They want to leave it in the closet.  They want to continue to live in their virtual world and not the real world. 

 

Sheryl,

Truly you have some issues in real life. 

 

You’re definitely not telling anyone here anything they don’t already know (me included as being a former gamer and widow of a gamer). 

 

If you are truly sick of hearing “mmo bashing” then maybe you should continue to live just in your virtual world because in real life, it is a very real problem.  Why even be here on this forum if you don’t think there is a problem.  The show is only stating facts, and actual events.  Have you become the great defender of the virtual world?  Why would you feel the need to do this? 

 

Quote from you…

“Yes, when I log in I am going to be in for a minimum of 6 hours, and I usually do 12, but I can be in the game, and my husband come home from work...nothing be done, supper not on yet, and I can look at him and say Baby! I leveled!...And he will say..YAY!!!!..Then he will shower, I will cook, we eat, and he goes and logs into his account. We play together a lot.”

 

 

Clearly, you have your priorities confused especially at your age.  Really. What do you expect him to say?  You feed each other’s virtual existence.

 

Stop playing the game and then see how long your marriage would last.  I have some news for you, Sheryl.

It wouldn’t.  And the saddest part about all that is…………..you know it.
