Thank you so much for addressing this issue. I was married to an addicted gamer and we are now in the middle of a horrible divorce. He started going on Military gaming sites. He started with one than went on to another which he was on from the time he came home from work till the wee hours of the morning . Then on weekends he would set his alarm for 4:00 or 5:00am PST and would play all day Sat. and Sunday. We never went anywhere we quit having sex , we didnt so anything but live separate lives . H doesnt even see this was the problem in our marriage. I became ill and he never even helped me and that was the final straw for me . I had given up on our marriage. Then he came to me and asked me for the divorce , because he didnt want a wife with health issues. What a joke. He complained we didint have sex anymore , no we didnt because he wasnt interested in anything but the stupid game, and when he played all weekend he never bathed , he was gross. How can you even get romantic with someone who not only ignores you all the time but smells too! Im not being funny . These guys better stop what they are doing it is serious, take from someone who has been there. Its funny now that we are getting a divorce he is out every nite picking up women in bars , having a great time going out with them. Go figure after I spent 14 years of my life , wasted. Now Im fighting for a decent settlement because He made it so horrible to live at the house he kicked me and my daughter out . We have nothing. Im no exagerating.
Please men/women (because there are women addicted too) dont waste your lives and relationships for virtual reality because its not reality. Your families are your reality.
Thank you
