Answer
hi jenny,

men and their toys. what can i say to help, ty for emailing me about your problem.

it really is hard to get someone away from an addiction. i can only make some suggestions to help you.

why not write to him explaining your feelings and work out a compromise. tell him you dont want to take him away from his game but you want some time with him too. ask him to teach you the game ( if you want to learn it ) that way you both will be doing it together.

you have to do something to grab his attention away from the game and that isnt easy to do. tell him you would like to go out to the movies or to dinner just to get him out of the house.

can you invite him more to your house where he cant play the game??

hope it all works out well for you
