Justus,
Help! My husband is a computer junkie, and it's ruining our marriage. Sometimes he spends as much as 10 hours a day on the computer.
He neglects me, the children and everything else because of his addiction. We bought a fixer-upper house a couple of years ago and he was very gung-ho about making improvements, but that lasted only a couple of months; then he was back in front of his computer. He's barely moved since.
He has gone from being a handsome, outgoing, affectionate husband to an overweight, uncaring, temperamental roommate.
We have had countless fights about the time he spends playing computer games. He becomes defensive and says it's nobody's business how he spends his time. I thought he would eventually tire of his computer, but it's been three years and he's worse, not better. All of our family, friends, acquaintances, and even his co-workers have commented on his obsession. He takes his computer to work every day.
I don't believe in divorce, but I'm almost ready to get one. I need a husband and our children need their father. He is a good man, but I'm exhausted from trying to compete with his computer.
Justus, there are support groups for spouses of alcoholics and drug addicts. Is there a support group for wives like me?
