Re: Wife or Helper?
Sorry TS, don't mind to hijack your thread.
As can totally relate to your frustrations.. As i'm in the midst of the exact same situation..married 6years & 1 kid. Just roles switched for me, i'm the helper and it's my wifey whom gotten addicted to the mobile world of gaming..spending $ and >12hrs per day.. chatting and clearing whatever daily clans quests etc with her in-game friends.
We are both working and weekend parents, more than often she reaches home earlier than i do after work. I'd usually get her dinner settled, but even during meals together her eyes is still on the phone gaming away..every time we reaches home after, she'll find herself comfortably in same old spot of the sofa, just right next to the charging point till 1am+..gotta admit i grew kinda sick of the sight, and chose to slept earlier.
We had talked a few times on it, but kinda give up at this point of time. Being adults i hope she understands how to keep the balance or at least game lesser when our kid is around during the weekends..before he follows her footsteps..so i'd try to suggest outdoor activities instead of staying home, in return she did make the little effort to change for him.
On usual days, other than gd morning and gd night greetings to one another, there is'nt really any much interesting convos or love-making sessions going on for the past 6 months+.
At times i'd successfully interuptted her with her phone, but felt she aint that interested as before, or once when the deed is done, back to the same old phone hogging self.
Hate to see the worse coming honestly but the neglections seems to stacks each day..
Difficult for a man to rant with his buddies on such hair pulling matters, thus been out catching up with old mates and drinking more than usual for a quick getaway from negative thoughts.
She seems to get the hints sometimes, but not for long.
Her addictions seems so real. Thus i'd decided to spend more time and effort on myself instead by picking up gym membership and new hobby for 2 months running.
Either way i'm still open to possible remedy, if any.
PS: may delete post if TS deem unfit.
