RTL & KerryK, The computer world is either Second Life or Second World, people have avitars and apparently live out situations in this virtual world. I have done research and there have been many divorces involving this. I guess people live out their fantasies and it is very seductive. My H does not see this as an addiction , yet it has negatively impacted every aspect of his life. I am not exaggerating, every moment he is not sleeping , working or eating , he is in this world. He blames me, says he is avoiding me, or he says he is doing work or whatever. Even his health has suffered because he lives sitting in a chair in front of the computer.It is hell to live with and I am really thinking of being a WAW, because this is no life for me.I have tried everything I can think of, however , after reading sitchs on this board I am thinking of GAL. I have tried it before and he didn't even notice. Perhaps the problem was that I was doing it to get him away from the computer. Maybe if I just did it for me and made myself happy he would react differently
