I read your comment it was so true and funny, I liked it, your right though! I’m having the same issue with my 3 year relationship with my girlfriend, but she’s a 17 to 20 hour a day 7 days a week gaming addiction person!

I’ve been with my girlfriend just over 3 years, when we met she didn’t have a phone, I did, I used it for calling, and my music, i don’t do the gaming, the media, like Facebook, Instagram, nothing! But I didn’t know that she was a big gaming person, at first she wanted to use my phone to play a few games, I thought it was okay, it was just a few hours a day! But that was the first 4 months, I didn’t even think that she was actually addicted to the gaming, she didn’t show no signs of her addiction, we just met! I enjoyed or time together she was active you know the walking, spending quality time with each other, it really wasn’t about the sex thing with her, it was more of the togetherness of doing things together during the day, it was the outdoor thing! When it came to our living situation, it had to change because of her health issues that she had, so I brought up about us moving to Davenport Iowa! We met in Phoenix Arizona, once we got to Iowa I got work and a place for us to live, it was a whole basement that we rented for $250.00 a month! I thought about getting her a phone for us to communicate while I was at work and for her if needed for emergencies! But that was a big mistake on my part, why because she started really getting into more playing the games on her phone, it was like her taking all her time during the day and after I got home from work she was on the gaming mission! I mean on her part it wasn’t about the sexual of our relationship, but her having the phone it was like she felt like her life was complete, at that point I felt like I wasn’t apart of her life anymore! Giving her that phone changed her, it seemed that the phone replaced me, in every way possible of every aspect of our relationship, her addiction took over our relationship that I was trying to bring together, of having a strong bond between us? Let’s move on forward now we live in New Mexico, and yes she’s still gaming, she’s getting worse, last year I got her a tablet as a gift to show her of how much I love her, yes I know another wrong choice, but i just wanted her to be more happy and for her to realize of how much she means to me in our relationship? We’ve been here for over a year now, she’s combinins her phone and tablet together, will like she be gaming on her tablet then a break between the game she’s playing she’ll start using her phone with a different game, then while the game is back on her tablet, she’s going back and forth between the tablet and her phone gaming on both devices at the same time, and yes she’s playing gaming every waking hour, she’s gaming from 17 to 20 hours a day 7 days a week, and this all started from Iowa, and continues in New Mexico! She doesn’t make any time for anything, nothing for our relationship other than what I can do for her on a daily basis? Yes I have brought this to her attention, of how she’s not showing love, affection, nothing when it comes to our relationship, as her not wanting to show me love, yes she verbally says she loves me all the time, but when it comes to her putting her action in to it, for get it, she doesn’t have any interest in that kind of a relationship or anything with me? I have showed her every kind of love that a person can show and express in a relationship like I have for her, and she still doesn’t get it, she’s in love with her phone and tablet, it seems like that’s all she wants, and all her other wants, the wants that I provide for her every day? My needs are never meant by her, with her there’s no responsibility’s, there’s nothing, I do every thing for this woman, but she neglects my every need, even when it does come to our love making, because she has her tablet and phone in bed with us, yes she’s doing the gaming, her hands are on her two devices, and never on me! This is her excuse of why the gaming is so important to her and why she can’t go a day without it, is because she has gone through all different kind of trauma from her childhood and through her adult life until she meant me, I’m like her night and shining armor, I feel like I’m isolated, and very lonely, yes we’re living together, but living our life apart from each other! It’s really sad that she has to play games on her devices to deal with living a good life with me, and deal with life it self? I thank God above that I don’t need that in life to cope with the disappointments that life gives you, life is to short to not wanting to enjoy the life that the Lord gives us? She doesn’t want to talk about anything that has to do with her gaming addiction because when it comes to her gaming she will choose that over me another human being, she chooses the technology then me as her companion, lover, and compassionate person in her life!

I should have gotten extensive therapy then but instead I was put into my first foster home because my adoptive parents couldn’t wait util I got a bed and room at the children’s home. Therefore I was re—traumatized over and over again. I had three foster homes lived in group home twice. Because I didn’t have the needed therapy trauma followed me into adulthood. I attracted the wrong kind of men it was like I was a target to to every con artist. After years of just trying to survive and after living in a women’s shelter I finally learned to forgive others and love myself. I have severe memory loss only to be compounded with my diagnosis of Alzheimer’s last summer. I can’t seem to stop wondering what happened to me as a child.

I also hope you got out and the other women on this site. Sixteen wasted years of my life that was absolute hell with a narcassist. I am a broken down woman who suffered a brain hemorrage due to long term chronic stress with this s**t of a guy who called himself a real man. I used to be happy laughed always smiling before meeting him. Confusion. Hurt. Extreme Pain. Isolation. Blame Game. Emotional Mental Cruelty the list goes on and on… They have no remorse. They are not human these people. They have no empathy nor capable of normal feelings for anyone only for themselves. They never change EVER.
