A buddy of mine went through a similair situation, except there was no cheating, and no children involved. After months of neglecting his new bride, and him being a good friend to me, I hated to see him wind up addicted to WOW, put on about 50lbs, lost his job, house, etc. His wife stood by him and let it continue on. They moved into his grandmothers old house, and he immediately started gaming again, didn't even bother to look for work, his wife was working two jobs, and he sat around all day eating and playing WOW. He hasn't called me in a year now, his wife finally wised up and left him. I went to visit him one day and he looked like it had been days since he had showered. He is paying for his electricity and internet only, no gas for heat, no trash pickup, no car. I asked him what he was thinking, why he is doing this to himself, and its not worth it. Even offered for him to move in with me and my wife til he got his stuff together, but he wouldn't do it. My wife and I got a cruise when we bought her new car, but she has terrible seasickness, and wouldnt go. So I asked he wanted to go with me, it would do him some good to get out and enjoy life away from the game. We got into a fight, and his computer got destroyed... then he took me up on the offer to go on the cruise, and hasn't played that game since. He has gotten a new job, cleaned up his house ( yeah I helped A LOT there) and a car, trying to work things out with his ex, and is in counseling for gaming addiction. He doesnt play WOW anymore, but he does game maybe 6 hours a week on Live or on PC. Fear not Spooge there are success stories from this kind of stuff. Seek friends to help out, sometimes a reality check is in order. Just my thoughts.
