Sounds like both people are highly dissatisfied with the other, and they are no longer living together. Sounds like they split up and so both can move on now that the unsatisfactory partner is out of their lives.

Good luck to both of you. Hopefully you have learned from the experience and can do better in future relationships.

(I am appalled at the number of women who have posted here about their partners who are addicted to video games. Sounds like an epidemic. )
Sher, as I remember, didn't have an affair, with anyone, it was a guy who kept bothering her and Rek didn't bother to find out the truth, albeit Sher should have told him what was up, both failed at communicating. If one can't handle people having friends, be it a same sex or not, something is wrong, altho again, this situation was a little diff and was handled wrong.

As well, I was responding to the fact if you love someone, you take care of them in their down times, if needed...not say, why am I paying the rent and the utilities, etc., which I guess in essence would say to me you didn't love them in the first place. Guess it sounds to me like this relationship was doomed from the get go...*shrug*

As for video games...LOL, have you not heard of EQ, EQII and WoW, and now War Hammer, and LoTRO? Literally millions of people play these, WoW (World of Warcraft) alone has over 1 million people who play. It's an addiction just like any other, altho it's easier to quit, people admit to having withdrawls when they do quit...you get that "good" feeling, like when you smoke a cig, or take that drink.

I'll let it rest, as you say, it's over, and I agree, they should just both move on.
