I do love him but right now I'm feeling being used :(

With the internet getting bigger and bigger we are hearing that more and more people are getting addicted to it in many ways and forms. It is very sad. There are so many people living cyber lives these days instead of going out and facing the real world. Ok what you need to remember is that it is an addiction and that he does need help with it.
Ok so you need to talk to him and tell him where he stands. Tell him you are not going to put up with this anymore. Explain to him that you believe he has a problem when it comes to the online games. Tell him that you want him to get help because your lives need to change. Explain to him that if he does not get help and start looking for work and getting his life back on track then he is going to lose you for good. Make an appointment for him to go and see a councellor about his addiction and then get him to go to the job centre. If you do not start to see an improvement well then am afraid you will need to act on your word and leave him. This might be the fright he needs to realise what is important in his life. Goodluck.
