He can do what he wants to do without worrying about some whiny lady in his life always talking bad about him to everyone they/she knows. Do you say the same when somebody is addicted to drugs?

Posted February 4, 2020 If she leaves him over the hobby, she never loved him. My wife, after some years, realized I was at home and safe and always there when she called on me. I could have been out at the bars getting trashed with my buddies instead. She didnt believe that till I started coming home messed up. Yep, kept my hobby, kept my wife and all is good. She just needs attention more often man. And perhaps a little realization the situation isnt really that bad. My wife took uo crafting. She then had a hobby. Shes happy, Im happy and the love is all there. Ah young couples. Learn to work through it. Dont be a divorce statiatic unless need be such as physical abuse and heavy drugs/alcohol use. Everything else is manageable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You missed the part where I said "she needs more attention" He can still day dream about gaming while watching a flick with his chick a couple few times a week, out to dinner, even gamers get hungry. But see he's not a useless pothead (that I know of). Just a useless gamer. (or both) Thick and Thin. If you don't understand the vows, don't get married.

I like gaming to relax after an exhausting day. However, I set a 1 hour time limit because I value my wife a lot more. My coworker whom I've known for about 5 years now just doesn't care. I don't know what goes on behind closed doors, but it seems as if she is on HIS time schedule...if that makes any sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted February 5, 2020 4 hours ago, ShrimpBrime said: If she leaves him over the hobby, she never loved him. Hi, wow, jumping in here. This is wrong. It's not wrong, actually, it's horse shit. The hardest part of ending a marriage is knowing that as much as you still love the other person, and as much as you always will, it's inherently broken and has to end. The hard endings aren't the ones where you hate each other. They're the ones where you still love each other, but something insurmountable has gotten in the way. Source: my life. An addiction, including a gaming addiction, is absolutely reason to leave someone, but it's not necessarily the sort of thing that would make you stop loving them, and leaving someone does not mean that you never loved them. I enjoy buying junk and sinking more money than it's worth into it to make it less junk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hate was stronger than the love. You hate the things they do, but still love them and then leave or separate. It hurts because the excuse of the separation was selfish and Bull Shit. A women's challenge in life is material. A man's challenge in life is the woman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing you can do about it. If she rides the storm out, they'll figure it out. If not, oh well, she has different plans for herself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted February 5, 2020 12 hours ago, steelo said: So, I have a coworker where his addiction to PC games is literally destroying his marriage. He plays a lot of online games and I suggested to ask the mods to ban him. He's done this, however he just ends up creating a new account the next day. He wants the absolute minimum GPU that will work with his system but still has HDMI output. Basically something so awful, no game created in the past 5-10 years will run on it. He currently has a RX 590 I believe but his wife is essentially making him sell it. I believe he said he uses a Ryzen 7 and he does still need the computer for work.

Posted February 5, 2020 2 hours ago, ShrimpBrime said: With no respect for you... Thats a comedian quote. Its obvious you dont get out much lol. So an addiction is not a valid reason for a couple to split, is that actually your position? Or is it that the man being addicted is the woman's fault? I can't hear you over all the misogynistic stupid coming off of your keyboard. Edit: I'm done. Mods, whatever you want to do, I understand and won't complain, but I am not going to let some numbnuts say that a split means that one person never loved the other or that one person being addicted to something is somehow the other person's fault. Nope. I did not just survive my own divorce to let some clown come in here with a blanket, stupid statement like that and not get called on it (and called some very nice words compared to what their mindset makes them). I enjoy buying junk and sinking more money than it's worth into it to make it less junk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
