My husband of almost 9 years has become obsessed with this game to the point that is what he spends all his free time doing. I don't feel I'm overreacting. I feel it is hurting our marriage.

I think you should communicate with him, and express your feelings. Make sure you let him know that it is just a game, and you shouldn't spend all this time on it, don't abolish the game, just make sure he spends less time on it. "lots of kids play that game, make sure you say KIDS, but it doesn't mean you have to let this game take over your life. You don't want to end up as a fat guy loaded up on junk food wearing DEPENDS." its freakin me out!

You tell him. Then you tell him what you think is reasonable--say twice a week (one week night one weekend night or whatever). He needs to grow up. Men have a natural instinct to go to their "cave" when they get stressed. Every guy should have some time to himself....but when they hibernate...its time to drag them back out into the sun...life is happening out here.... find something you can do for fun, just the two of you....and set aside a time for a "business meeting"....if every time he sees you you have one more bill, one more question, one more problem, he may not ever want to stop playing the darn game....women just seem more able to handle a problem and then go out and have fun... men dwell.....I think its something about the "fixer" in them.... good luck

You need to talk with him and share your concerns. Don't yell at him, because if your yelling at him, he won't listen at all.
And you have good reason to feel that it's hurting your marriage because he's giving that game which is just a game, not reality, giving it more attention than he is to you. I think it's quite selfish honestly. I know, because I used to play video games alot, and gave them more attention than my wife. Also personally I don't like the World of Warcraft games because of how violent they are. I suggest talking with him and tell him that it bothers you.
Hope that this helps. Take care and God Bless

I hear this a lot from the workplace. I have a friend who's 26 and great looking. Her BF would rather play Helo that make love to her. She ditched him for a man who does not play games :)

Pour water on his computer OR leave the house wearing a short skirt and heels when he starts playing.

make yourself busy also...if he is playing then go out with some girlfriends. look good that he will notice you and dont pay attention to him, he will get the whole message and if not I guess its time you unplug the pc and raise hell.lol

Play it with him. My husband and I enjoy playing WoW together. We don't have as much fun playing when the other isn't on there too.

Your husband has a hobby but it soulds like he is your hobby. Get out of yourself and interested in something yourself and your marriage will be much happier.
