We live together, along with 6 other people, two being his nephews, that aside his excessive game play on World of Warcraft is killing our relationship. For example, today he played for 8 hours, straight, interrupting plans we had. when I talk to him about it he gets mad and turns everything around to be my fault, I'm the bitch. How do I win him back from the game?

reader, anonymous, writes (27 December 2006): This is an addiction problem on his side. If he is unwilling to let go of his gaming habits, then it will be tough for you to sway him. I've read/seen on the news about people quitting their jobs or breaking up with their girlfriends just to play WoW. It's gross really. This addiction can be just as bad as alcohol and drug addiction which can ruin someone's health.
He seems to be very inconsiderate and isn't mature enough to realize that this is a problem in his life, and on top of that, he has treated you poorly about it. Ask yourself, do you really feel that you want him as much as you think you do at the moment, when he is pretty much putting his all into that game? Someone who can easily brush aside everything and everyone else just to run some instances, finish some quests, and grind for gold should tell you that there's probably something missing in his mentality and his connection with you.
Is he a great guy? Is he responsible? Has he considered your feelings? Has he done anything to strengthen and progress the relationship with you? Has he shown compassion, passion, and romance? Has he realized that a game is just for complementary entertainment purposes, while you are the completed priority of his life?
Do you doubt him more than you trust him?
