Unemployed husband, gaming 20 or so hours a day. Me working 2 jobs. I have left before, he got straight and now we are together again. It has been fine for a year but has escalated badly. Because I am supporting all of us, I have no money for a deposit on a rental place and no transportation. I could save a little I'm sure, but I also worry about what he will do. He has never really had a super stable job, has never lived by himself and has never paid bills or had to support himself in any way. He is 29. How did you leave him? Any advice please email me at kshubrick@hotmail.com. I have an INCREDIBLY similar story. Unemployed husband, gaming 20 or so hours a day. Me working 2 jobs.

I asked Sherry to post a note about this -- which she did -- about six months ago, and then I promptly went on maternity leave! I'm still very keen to write about this. So if you left your gamer or divorced your gamer and you'd like to talk about your experience, please e-mail me at kristinkalning@msnbc.com.

My husband's father and all his dad's brothers were alcoholics. He also has a brother who is a pothead and alcoholic, but just manages to keep a day job. My husband is very non-confrontational and I am beginning to wonder if his family upbringing left him with unhealthy coping issues. He had an affair about 15 years ago, and after counseling we agreed to try to work on our marriage and stay together. For a while our relationship was much better, but before long he quit making the effort to do things together and focused on other obsessions, i.e. motorcycle hobby and friends.... so I think he has intimacy issues. Trying to tell him that relationships take work, they don't just happen, and that a healthy one needs to watered like a plant needs nourishment is something our pastor and I have both emphasized. He agrees, then just does whatever he wants. I am so tired of being the only one who tries to keep the marriage going. Last year on our 30th anniversary we were in a financial crunch, so I didn't expect a gift, but a card, even a handmade one would have been nice. He didn't even take the time to do that. The next week our finances were better, so I thought he would say let's go out to eat, but of course, it didn't happen until I suggested it. I really love my husband, but let's face it, I don't have a husband in the sense that it matters in the important things in life. To him, WOW is all he thinks about, all he does and all he wants to do. I could have put up a fight against another woman, but what can I do when up against a fantasy that is all in his head?????

I had many of the same experiences. Thank God some of the ladies have gotten to move on. I am in process.

I have a very eerily similar story that almost ended in divorce if not for me threatening to leave - if he did not phone for help (he has a very supportive professional assosciation for phycisians).I too wondered if he had a relationship with someone on the game and he may have for all I know. I really know it was bad when he preferred to play the game(till 6 am) than go to bed and be with me - we always had a healthy sex drive and relations so for him to NOT want this, he was hooked badly. He made the right choice so far and dialed the association which quicly placed him in a residential addictions treatment facility which is the appropriate help for his addictions...but his 'drug' of choice was WOW and he became an alcoholic while playing the game - double whammy! I have 3 children and for the past 16 years (he has always been on the computer be it programming or playing other game, addicted to something) by day, I worked part-time, shopped, cleaned, paid the bills, cooked, by night - drove all over God's creation dropping and picking up kids - he wasn't sober enough to drive or was deep in an 'instance' so couldn't care less. I put up with it for far too long... I feel your pain, loneliness, fatigue, anger and stress. This not only affected me but my three children whom are now teenagers and my parents, his family, his social networks - which ended entirely. Years of neglect and 'back talk' from a father wears on one emotionally. So much so that my kids don't miss him all that much right now which is not surprising! Enough about the negatives, but he is currently in rehab and it is working - the 12 step program is set up primarily for drug addictions but he has vowed to NEVER play again. and, as he puts it "the game is the head and the alcohol is the ass of this beast called addiction' therefore he has to quit both cold turkey. He has 3 months to go of intensive treatment and I truly pray it works enough so that he will not relapse - an always looming and real possibility. He is aware of the seriousness of my leaving and is calling me 2-3 times a day, as he has heard of other wives of men in treatment permanently leaving their husband( his roomate's circumstance right now!) I do not plan to do anything of this sort but, he knows if this doesn't work - I AM outta here...or he is gone. This is no way for him or us to live. His condition he now describes as a terminal illness and abstaining is the only cure - he holds the cure - not playing or drinking! I am so glad to hear him realize this fact. A 12 step program works! In such severe cases of addiction like your husband's, a residential program is the only method to reach these people - I am convinced. He is the only one there with a gaming addiction and alcoholism - i am sure there are other gamers out there in similar dire need. I will continue to post as he continues in his treatment so as to help other people learn and move forward in their lives. He realizes he has a disease and I believe gaming addiction is as much a disease as alcoholism...even more so since it is so accessible.
