Not too long ago I posted that my husband of 8 months was addicted to WoW. This had been an on going deal for 2 years. It boiled down one day that I found out that I was paying for this addiction without my knowledge, ( also found out a few other things). That day I busted the computer, enough was enough. (Note he has two computers). That day I told him I wanted a divorce, I wanted him out of my house, and that he wouldn't be seeing his daughters anymore (i am pregnant with his bio daughter and i have a daughter froma previous relationship). I had always threatened to leave, THREATENED being the key word.. this time I was serious. Since that day, there has been no more WOW. We had made an agreement that he could play every thursday, but no more than that. Now he doesn't play at all. I wont lie and say he doesn't game anymore because he will sit down and play on PS3 every so often but not for hours on end. We had no life before, no sex life, no love.. only bickering and fighting over games. Now he wants to be loving, now he wants to go out. It's as if since wow has been out of our lives, he's the man i fell in love with from the beginning. I know this isnt the case for everyone, and i know not everyone will get this result like i did (and in truth, this could just be a phase) but just so you know, there is a light at the end of this tunnel.. no matter if its your guy/woman giving up this addiction, or if you leave. Things will get better, it just takes putting our foot down.
Some of us are just dating, some of us are married.. but remember, even though you took a vow for better and worse with this person.. you also have a vow to yourself. And that vow to yourself should come before the vow with your spouse! I have vowed to never NEVER NEVER NEVER!! Let this addiction get to me and my kids lives again.. no matter how much i may love my husband, i love myself and my children more... So if your loved one wants to sit around on a game that will never love them back or be there for them.. let them.. leave! One day they will realize we wont stick around for this bull shit anymore.

So good luck.. TO EVERYONE.
