Does anybody know if this group actually exists? My husband has abandoned me to play World of Warcraft every waking moment of his day and it has become the center of his life. This is a serious matter as his addiction has caused severe problems in our marriage.....

and I dont mean this AT ALL in a bad/mean way..but..
leave him..
(not leave him leave him) but..go away for a day or two..and NOT tell him...
if he notices...then there may still be hope yet.
if he does not notice..then uh...take an axe to his PC, or at least get him away long enough to tell him how you feel..
yes I delve into the WOW world at times...but I make time for my kids and wife too (I dont spend more then 1-2 hours per night in game), and its AT night when everyone else is asleep.
You really need to address this w/ him directly, and not a support group..that'll only help to alienate you two further from each other...
If he does not get the hint..then it's probably time to move on b/c you really just are'nt that important to him (cold reality to accept, but it needs to be said as a worst case scenario).
The reality here is that your happiness is just as important as his, and staying by him while he pines away on the quest to a lvl 70 blah blah will not make you happy. So dont sacrifice your own feelings (stay by his side etc) when he's not meeting you half way etc.. Marriage is after all a 2 way street not a one person show..

Well one thing is like the first answer its nt a bad habit, but a habit none the less. I suggest you might want to start wow maybe so you can both enjoy it, or try to do some fun things like a board game or something romantic, I've been palying wow lots of time but usually i find something else fun and just stop playing it for a while. This might make him be on less and realise wow isnt that important.

It doesn't really sound like a marriage when a virtual world is his focus and priority. If you can get him to scale down from "every waking moment" to on the weekend, or occasionally on weeknights, good for you. But, in my opinion, it's not your job to nag your husband off the computer so he spends some time with you/family. You might want to try marriage counseling.

type in world of warcraft support group. there is one in the yahoo groups section. but this is something you seriously need to discuss with him. if there is no possibility you will ever play the game yourself (my fiance plays, i was reluctant to try it, but its SO much fun), then i wish you the best. consider at least trying to learn to play so you can see what its about.

If your not blowing this out of proportion, talk to him and tell him how your feeling. If that doesn't work, all you can do is leave him. But don't lash out in anger; anger will only worsen things. try to keep calm as you talk.
Hell, worst comes the worst, join him! WoW is a lot of fun(I play WoW, but my boyfriend doesn't)
