Marriage trouble? Or am I overreacting?

Yay for happy endings. Hopefully.

I'd still give that emarriage tool a secret ass-whipping but hey, maybe he lives in another state or something.
 
[quote name='sp00ge']Sorry for the lack of updates, but things have made a change for the better. I really don't want to divulge details and really get into it, but she's made a complete change.

She still plays her game and talks online, but not as much as she used to. Apparently the other guy broke off the emarriage for undisclosed reasons, but I'm hoping that he realized his actions were interfering with her real life. She's taken more of the housewife role and we've been really working on getting our house and finances in order.

She's actually going to be going back to school starting in January to finish her degree, which is something she's been wanting to do for some time, but never opened that up to me. So, this whole strange event brought up issues that were never known by the other, and working through them is really helping our marriage.

I really appreciate all the help and advice people have given me. But as Myke said, I'm trying to keep all the details quiet for now. I don't want to jynx myself, as I have a habit of doing that. :D[/quote]
Did you put it her in her butt?

I bet you put it her in her butt.

And I bet the guy that broke off the e-marriage for reasons that had nothing to do with the fact it was interfering with your life. Wishful thinking on your part. I would bet he either got a real life girl and didn't want to spend time on your wife, or he got someone else on the net that interested him more than your wife.

I stopped putting it in her butt, that's what got her out of line in the first place.

And hey, it makes me feel better thinking what I am. For all I know the guy went all emo and offed himself, but that's neither here nor there. He's out of the picture, that's what matters.
 
I bet he's a CAG'er and realized the emotional turmoil that this has caused your family. He probably read the thread and stopped his blatent stupidity of online VG marriages
 
Wow, sorry for all your stress. Glad it kinda worked out....

MMOs are hardcore addictive. It paints the 'perfect' world, where you dont see people on their best or worst days. I played EQ for entirely too long, and was entirely too addicted. Since quitting, I started making a lot more money, was much happy, lost about 50lbs and am about to marry a gorgeous woman. Granted, I loved the online aspect of friends, and the power I had in my character, but the bottom line is its not real. Some people need help, I was just lucky I guess.

Butt can keep her straight. Shows dominance... degrades women even more.
 
Spooge, if anything you can take this away from your experience: Don't be an ostrich! Have frequent, full, and frank communication with your loved one and realize that relationships don't just work on thier own without work. Do things you don't want to do for the other just because it makes em happy.

Both of you should be vigilant, and monitor the state of your relationship, ask "how are we doing" and perform preventative relatinship maitenance.

It's great top hear that things are going well for the three of you(before someone decides to be a smart ass, I was talking about the Child too).

No one here needs to know any more details. Just enjoy the holidays with your family. You deserve it.
 
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.

It's a Christmas Miracle! See kids? Things can work out for the best! :applause:
 
idea: pour water on the modem. make it look like it went bad... just to give her some time off. [from the computer] see if she's talking to him out side of the game.
