I know my H is addicted. He has admitted all this online crap is an escape. When we went for our one and only IC, the C said we should be in counseling individually. I agreed. He said he'd think about it. He won't listen to me right now, and his family is no help. A part of me thinks he's going to have to hit rock-bottom before he admits he has a problem.
We are going away with our D for four days this weekend -- no Internet access. However, he has a cell phone and Blackberry to contact the OOW, so there will still be contact. Just not "in world," as all those idiot Second Lifers call it. And he'll have to make grand excuses to get away to contact her, although I'm sure he will.
It's all so high school, so juvenile, so ridiculous. He has a problem and has none to encourage him out of it because he's not going to tell anyone what's really going on -- I only know because of snooping. I've told his sister part of it -- I know, bad move because it's his family -- and she really thinks it is weird but doesn't know how to talk to him since we can't let him know that I've snooped.
I'm just hoping that he gets sick of this new woman and maybe sees the light in the whole ridiculousness of it. I'm scared that once the winter months hit it will turn even worse, since he will be "inside" more, y'know? Although he's inside all the time now, except for golfing once or twice a week, so maybe it doesn't really matter...
Eventually it's all going to hit the fan. I just hope our M survives it and he can get help for his problem.
