Wow. I went through this same thing with my ex except it was World of Warcraft. Thankfully we were not married and had no kids when we broke up. He was almost 40 years old and acted like a teenager when it came to this game... wouldn't shower for 3 days, ate chips and pizza at his desk, would call in sick to work, and would spend the absolute minimum amount of time with me that he had to. Sometimes he would come home from work, eat as fast as he could, then say "I got a dungeon run tonight!" and run upstairs and slam the door. I wouldn't see him again until the next day when it was the same thing. The worst was how I would hear him laughing and having a great time with these online "friends". If I went up there and asked him something (like what he wanted for dinner), he would SCREAM at me to leave him alone and he didn't care what I made. If I asked him to come downstairs and spend time with me he would sit in the chair with his arms crossed, pouting like a child, and say sarcastically, "There. We're spending time together. Are you happy?". I'd finally get so sick of it I'd just tell him to go back to his stupid game. We also had no sex for 4 years during this time. I completely blame that game for ruining our relationship. It was no different than a drug addiction.
