What is a Gamer Widow?

A Gamer Widow is a term for those who have a relationship with an Addicted Gamer (one who plays video games to excess, be it on a console or on the computer) who pays more attention to the video game than to their partner….thereby making their partner a ‘gamer widow’ (female) or ‘gamer widower’ (male). In general we say ‘gamer widow’ and encompass both male and female community members.  A ‘relationship’ can include everything from marriage, living together, relatives, friendship, girlfriend/boyfriend.
