I think you and I both need to stand up and be strong and admit that sometimes our husbands do stupid things. (or in my case, SAY them)

We can't back down from that. While I don't think that what my Davez said to me was the end of the world, it was hurtful and I'm sad about it. While  playing That Game is not the end of the world, his actions around it hurt you in a time when you didn't need that hurt.

love the man, hate the action. and don't back down. You, and your kids, deserve more. Stand your ground.

(I will too ;-)  )

Thank you Davez. I hate that right now, when I bring it up, it is passed off as postpartum hormones. No, they are real feelings.

He has a problem, but the addiction to the game is more of an escape from his major anxiety. We talked about it tonight (the anxiety more than the game) and we have a TON of stress right now. Financial mostly, but a pretty early baby, an EXTREMELY stressful unexpected pregnancy when I was supposed to be going back to work, ect. 

The game has to go, but I think that I need to push more for him to get his emotional health taken care of before working on that. I also think that if he gets the right counseling/med combo, the gaming addiction will be easier for him to work on. He rationalizes it by saying that since it is not a substance, it can not be an addiction.... we all know otherwise. 

Thanks for understanding. My birth of Gwen was heartbreaking in many ways, (from being early, not the hospital I wanted to be in, her being in the NICU, My hubs being a tool ect) and his part in it could have been prevented.
