I usually play after work instead of watching television, because I work night shift and it is late when I get home.<br /><br />I find it relaxing, and I like the social aspect of it. I even belong to a large gaming guild of adults w/ similiar interests.<br /><br />However, I made it a rule that Real Life commitments always come first, and during the weekends I am rarely playing EQ2 during the day. Especially when I can participate in other activities (Fishing, hiking, ect., ect.)<br /><br />It sounds to me like your husband has an addiction to EQ2. Addictions can be anything. An addiction is defined as an obsession w/ something to a point that it disrupts your life. So, I agree he needs counseling, and I think marraige counseling would be beneficial too. There he could be in a setting where there would be a non-biased party to mediate, and point out what each of you could do to make things work w/o blame placed on each other.<br /><br /> Or... as someone else suggested, you could play EQ2 w/ him. However, I think his addiction problem with EQ2 needs to be addressed first, and the communication issues in your marraige as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6241291.post-1148789390786689392006-05-27T21:09:00.000-07:002006-05-27T21:09:00.000-07:00I play Everquest II and play it many hours a day. ...I play Everquest II and play it many hours a day. I am disabled and find the game relaxing (mostly) and a good relief for the aches and pains I live with 24/7.<BR/><BR/>The situation with your spouse is a problem that occured between the two of you before EQ II entered your lives.<BR/><BR/>Because someone watches a violent horror movie doesn't make them a serial killer - the person themselves are predisposed to it or are responsible for it - not the movie or in your case of marriage - Everquest II.<BR/><BR/>My suggestion is for the two of you to go see a marriage councelor (if its not too late), or a less helpful option - get into his world of playing Everquest II and cyber with him . . . althought cybersex vs hands on because your both in the same house is a abit boring.<BR/><BR/>People are responsible for their own actions - not those of the other person, and not because of some external influence.

My heart really breaks when I read stories ...Wow... My heart really breaks when I read stories like this. The thing is that the affair with the game came before the real affair. The distance between husband and wife was already there because of the void between game life and real life. What can I say? I've been the spouse of a game addict and I got myself good and addicted too, trying to get back into his world.Miahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13198019013774536934noreply@blogger.com
