to force my husband down to the doctors

[McHappyPants2012]

i posted about my husband computer addiction.

After a very very long talk, alot of tears from my part. I think he is depressed and shutting himself from life.

how could i have not seen it, but i think he needs some sort of treatment.

i just want my husband back, i want us to be a family unit and most important if my husband will not talk to me then maybe someone else.

I hope you can persuade him, I imagine it will be very, very hard. :-( I do have a friend who lived a similar life to you with her husband missing all events in their lives because he was obsessed with WoW. It was so bad she would sleep on the couch because the computer was in their bedroom and he would be on till 4am. She did everything for him and for their daughter and just made excuses for him 'he world hard and needs his downtime', but nobody was happy.

She only did anything about it because she discovered he had been cheating on her with a WoW player and she gave him an ultimatum:- quit or divorce. He quit ands got help, counselling and Dr. The Dr confirmed he was depressed and that had led to the obsessive computer use.

She stayed with him and gradually things have improved. He is on anti depressants and has a therapist. He sometimes cooks or shops or takes their daughter to the park now.

It was very hard for her to come through the bad times to where she is now and I honestly don't think he was worth the hassle, but it can be done OP. The doctor is the first step for him. If he won't go, then he doesn't want to fix things.

Good luck.
