Day Two of "I want to spend time with you"

(Picture taken Christmas Morning)

Notice the game screen is up and he's watching the kids open presents

Well here we are at day two of "I want to spend more time with you." He's not managed to bath today. Here we are at 6:30 pm and he's still in his bath robe. He made himself coffee, ran the washer and dryer once, ate lunch and played his game while I was at work.

At lunch I feel like I shouldn't come home cause I'm interrupting his time playing his game. He even offered to do my lunch dishes with his lunch dishes and I turned him down. Good thing, too, cause he never did wash his lunch dishes. I feel like he waits and stalks me for his first chance to get on the Internet and be a Jedi. Almost like a vulture waiting to swoop in and kill his victim as soon as they have taken their very last breath.

I also confronted him with the diagnosis test from http://www.ognon.com/ . He answered yes to almost every question unless it didn't apply to him. One of the questions ask if you have ever tried to quit playing for a week and went back after just a few days. Well he's never tried to quit so that question didn't apply to him. I told him once that if he could stop playing for 10 days and be happy about it that he would prove to me that he wasn't addicted. But then he told me that he was addicted and not going to stop for even 1 day. Hmmmm..... and he wonders why the kids all try to make excuses for everything that they do that is bad.

Tonight I'm going to spend the night in my room watching T.V. and being on the computer ignoring him. I think that it is fair that I should be able to go on and enjoy my life not fighting with him over his addiction. In fact if I get bold enough I might even brave the 6 inches of snow on the ground and go out and do something. Let me know what your way of keeping your feelings of "I want to cancel the credit cards, smash the computer and file for a divorce" feelings under control.
