AMA: I'm getting a divorce because I play to much eve

This really hits close to home. About 15 months ago I had hit absolute rock bottom in my life. I've struggled with PTSD due to my military service since 2008. Compound that with a best friend passing away in a car accident, my Mother's terminal liver issues on top of job stress really turned me into some sort of monster.

I used impulsive buying, eating, and gaming in unhealthy amounts to cope with the pain of life and the past and present struggles. My Spouse and I had various issues and almost separated due to my anger and bitterness. Its taken alot of work to build our relationship back and now 83 pounds lost later and alot of self reflection and change I gotta say it's not worth it splitting man trust me.

You'll always meet a person that may be hotter or have more money or on the surface appear better or more appealing especially when you want to escape from the present realities. But at the end of the day it's the one person that goes through hell with you that you'll cherish above anyone else no matter what their faults may be.

Nobody is perfect man. We all have flaws. I would seriously consider you let her into your pain open up about your struggles no matter how painful they may be or if you think she won't understand. People have needs and I bet that if you just open up and spill it out that's probably what she's wanted all along. Also man EVE Is an awesome game but don't get a divorce over it.

Just saying It could take years and many months of pain to deal with the underlying issues but you should be thankful you have someone who I'm hoping is a support for you. Trust me man you don't want to lose those closest to you especially to self suffering and feeling like you can't let anyone in or no one understands.

Best of luck man. It's tough now but at least try and let her in as hard as it may be.
