Gary, I think this is less about the videogame and more about your marrage. Like Lupa said stopping anything you have done together cold turkey will rase questions and hurt. If you were both competitive ballroom dancers and you suddenly quit she would be left without a dance partner. What is she to do? She is so familliar with dancing, it's her life and it wasn't her decision to quit. She porbably doesn't want to quit what she "does" and loves.

I have ony been married a little over a year and a half, but there is one thing I know about marrage. There is no more "I" it's a "we." Marrage is work as I'm sure you know. Did you discuss this change with her. Did you suggest "hey we are wasting our life in a video game lets find something else to do together"? Or did you just up and quit walking away from the computer leaving you wife wondering what to do.

It sounds like you quit suddenly and didn't give her any options. She is hurt and wants to escape. It just hppens to be that you quit from a convenient escape so back in she goes.

Try marrage counseling or try to start a conversation with her about it when she is not online. Not a confrintational conversation, but a "hey where are we at and what should we do?" Conversation.

Good luck. :)
