Playing Online Games

it sounds absurd, and why don't i just pull the plug?

My wife plays ragnarok from about 13:00 till about 3 or 4 in the morning

I didn't vote because I don't play online games. I do however spend as much time online as your wife at times. We have 2 pc's sitting next to each other. My fella may either be working or playing Runscape. So we sit side by side doing our own thing and chatting away to each other.................LOL, when you see it in black and white......I'm a nerd/geek.

15 hours per day playing an online game sounds, to me, like a problem manifesting as an addiction that needs better addressing by all concerned, and please excuse my bluntness. Not a flame at all, just my concern... From your post, I sense you might already share those same concerns.

Of course, I have no other clues from your post as to what the other situational dynamics are, especially from her view, so I can't offer any suggestions other than maybe some better pointed communication going on between both of you, as I'd likely suggest to anyone in a confusing situation with a spouse. Good luck.

Onward, through the fog

On line games are HUGELY addictive when you have sod all else to do (or nothing interesting at least)

It could develop into a problem... try to get her away from the games for a bit...

Unfortunately couldnt give her motivation to go to bed as i was working nights

And she has a job as a chef and it was her night off

the only thing my wife has ever done is play solitaire on my laptop when i am in the shower or buying food, but it never gets in our way

My missus was really getting into the mindless games until I picked up a virus on the pc and couldn't access them for a while.

The glitch is fixed, but she dosn't know it yet.
