Can my Husband Addicted to the Internet?

Question

beleive that my husband is addicted to the internet. He loves to go online and chat with other females for hours. He says they are jsut freinds and that they have lesure conversation. He even started get some of there phone numbers and started talking to them on the phone. He says that he likes to talk online because those people don't know the real him. I don't know what I can do to spend more time with me, and less time chatting to these other females.

Answer 1

I hate to say this, but it sounds like your husband is looking for more than just an opportunity to chat with a female. Part of the attraction may be the fact that an online or phone relationship doesn't involve the nitty-gritty of 2 real non-virtual people living together. Whatever the reason, however, you need to make it clear to him that his behaviour is unacceptable.

Answer 2

Yes he is addicted to the internet. You have to nip this in the bud. If it's gone this far to phone numbers and private chats then you do have a lot to worry about. You yourself know it's wrong or you wouldn't be asking this question. You need to talk to him about it and see what's missing in your relationship that lead to this. Don't make it a shouting match or a scene from Jerry Springer. Talk calmly and listen. Listen carefully and try to understand where each of you are coming from. Resolve some issues and if you can't then see if the two of you can agree to some counseling. It's worth the money if it's worth your marriage. Good Luck!!!

Answer 3

He is committing on line infidelity. He is a married man and has no business talking to other women like that. Wake up you are being cheated on. It is emotional infidelity same as adultery. He will be having cyber sex with them next if he isn't doing it already. Go to 'on line infidelity'. There is a wealth of info on it. It is ruining marriages all over the world at this very moment. Don't put up with it for a moment. Get yourself a keylogger or keyghost or a webwatcher, so you find out exactly what is being said. He may be setting up meetings with them too. You have every right as his wife to know what he is saying and doing with other women. He will try to say you are just insecure and then he will try to blame it on you when he is the one doing the wrong thing.
He has broken your trust, and his marriage vows. You have every right to be livid and demand a stop to all of it or divorce him. Marriage is the ultimate commitment, God says let your own wife intoxicate you. Be strong don't let him get over on you anymore!

Answer 4

yes he is. the internet is very seductive. there seems to be a progression too, from chatting to phone sex to meeting to fullfilling the fantasies you've already described. so just be aware.
other than hoping the hard drive will crash, one thing you can do is plan times together (you can tell how addicted someone is as well, from how upset they are to be away from their computers)
you might also try joining him at the computer! you have every right to be part of his "hobby" and it MIGHT bring you closer. at least it might break the isolation.
