| Hi, I am 34 years old female and I am divorcing. I know it may sounds weird that I look for help on such place bit I really didn't know what to do. Reason for my divorce is very specific. My husband is addicted on computer's games and he may spend whole day in front of the monitor. We don't even talk normally because of his occupancy with these games. If someone had similar problem please share your experience with me? |

| Hi, unfortunately you didn't say much about character of your husband and how did he behave earlier. Sometimes computer games may represent escape from reality. I suggest you to talk to him if you think it is worth trying. Also you may try to go together and discus your problem with psychologist. |

Gaby,
I lost one of my friends for a while to a game called World of Warcraft which him and his ex girlfriend started to play when they got together. As thier relationship got worse I noticed he would just get up, smoke weed and just play for hours and hours to avoid reality. In the end, he had his own tiny place , full of take out containers and cigarette butts and that would be a day for him...He has a 5 year degree, which he didnt use because he stopped looking for a job.
I know its not a spouse.. But this is a friend I've known for over 10 years. We were neighbors, were always there for each other. After he met this girl and started with these games, I did not see him for literally... 3-4 years... Suddenly he hit rock bottom, couldnt afford to live with no job so he moved back in with his parents.. He has since stopped playing for the most part but he still plays on occasion.
The way he still talks about all of these people whom he met online and as if he and them had an actual real friendship still scares me to this day. He will talk to us as if his game friends were really here (in my home city) and he just saw them.
I now hang out with him a lot more and he is doing much better, he is upgrading a specific part of his education so that he can be more versatile in the workplace.
I know others in this same situation and although I dont have advice... I can tell you that its like anything else... if they want to quit they will, if not, you have to get on with your life. Trying to care only brings you down. |
