I know someone this is causing a problem with. The couple has only been married a couple of years and has a baby. The husband is addicted to this game, comes in from work and goes straight to the game until bedtime. The wife comes home from work and is left to take care of the baby, house and dinner by herself. She has talked to him several times and he will get better for a couple of weeks and go right back. I think she is really to leave him over this. She said to me the other day that "If I'm going to be by myself and do everything on my own then I might as well be by myself. I think what she was saying is this is not a marriage and if he is going to be so uninvolved and leave her to live like a single mother then she figures she might just go ahead and be a single mother. It's sad really to break up a family over a game, but I see this as any addiction that takes a spouse away from the family be it video games, drugs, porn whatever, if the other person makes the choice to put the addiction first what is the remaining spouse suppose to do???
