[quote name='sp00ge']Thanks everyone for all of the support and advice. Major update for those following:
We sat down after Rachael was put to bed and had a serious talk about all of this. I explained to her that it's not jealousy, or me being a jerk, as the reason for me telling her to stop gaming. It's mostly the fact that she spends the majority of her out of work time in it and is putting more effort into that game than her real life. I told her that it's not the game itself, but all of the time she is wasting on it. She spends more time with her 'friends' than she does with her own family. I referred her to the Gaming Addiction Website and had her check the addiction screening. She was shocked when over half of them were 'yes.'
She finally admitted that she does have an addiction and we are going to work on her situation. We haven't decided if counseling or whatnot, but something will be done to help rectify the situation. I am giving things one last shot. If she refuses and relapses back into her old habits, I will then be done.
Keep in mind, I still have, and will keep, all of the logs on my laptop, which she doesn't have access to. I'm still going to keep up some of my monitoring activity, at least for the next few weeks to make sure things are kept in check.
That is all for right now. Hopefully things wil turn out for the better. Thanks again, everyone. I'll be sure to keep you guys updated.[/quote]
Good to hear things are getting better. I strongly recommend marriage counseling, to help both of you through this. Has she admitted to the online wedding yet?
Something else I would seriously consider is logging on under her nick, telling Romeo you want to meet, and getting his address. Show up at the guys house, tell him you're both happily married with a kid, and you will give him a free tracheotomy if he ever messages your wife again. He will be so freaked out. Problem solved!
