I know how you feel. My boyfriend is also addicted to online games. Some people would say get out of the relationship, and find someone who will spend time with you. However, I love him and I don't want to do that either. There should be a support group for people affected by these games. Best of luck to you!

Im addicted to the computer in the same way.. but i have learnt to cut down so i can spend time with my gf and kids. But i can tell you.. its very hard i infact play World of Warcraft which is most likely what your bf is playin too.. its a very addictive and time consuming game.. the problem i had was starting something in the game which will take at least 2 hrs.

my advice would be to get to know what exactly he plays online.. and try to understand it. It will at least help you cope better, and u will also be able to share it and talk about it, once u know about the game there maybe a way to cut his playtime down by tellin him not to start somin thats gonna take 2hrs whatever that may be.

The chances are he loves you more than he does his games.. and actually feels bad about not spending time with u.. but these games are so addictive and powerful..

pls dont think of a male to be pathetic cuz he can't pull away from one.

just keep working on him maybe even get the kids to help.

i pulled out of it im sure he can too.

Let me guess - World of Warcraft? [grin] Sorry. Hmmm... [strokes fuzzy chin] Maybe you can print your inquiry out (that one to the left) and show it to him. See what his reaction would be.

I know I know, you've already confronted him about it, but let's just see how he reacts when reading about your note here. ??
