My wife met someone online.

Their relationship became too much. Like too much for everyone to be involved? Yeah. Ain't those room for you, O.P. So my wife and I have been together for 10 years and married for five years. We both work pretty normal nine to five type jobs, own a home and have no kids. So we don't have a lot of stressors of a normal marriage, I guess you could say. By the way, this comes from throw away. And if you want to submit your own stories, go to the R slash okay story time subreddit. So I love my wife dearly, and I can't imagine life without her. I feel that I am very good to her and love her in every way possible. I am kind, considerate, supportive, and never put her down in any way.

She's beautiful. to her and love her in every way possible. I am kind, considerate, supportive, and never put her

down in any way. She's beautiful and smart and I am incredibly lucky to be married to her. The spark and

adoration of a new marriage are still there 100% for me at least. She loves me too, I think, but I

sometimes feel she's tired of me or that she fakes happiness when she's around me. The spark seems to be gone for her and she seems bored with day-to-day married life, I guess. I try to plan fun things with her and we always make a point to go out in a little date at least once a week. But now, on to the root of the problem. Within the last year and a half, she found a new gaming hobby.

I won't get too much into specifics, but apparently and previously unbeknownst to me, this hobby has a pretty big online community.

She started spending a good bit of time on this new hobby, and I didn't really think anything of it.

She was having fun. I even built her a new computer when she asked for one so that she can have more fun with it. I think two giant problems have stemmed from this. She is now spending so much time on this hobby that I feel she neglects our relationship and her own well-being. Even though she has to be up at 6 a.m. for work, she'll stay up to 1 or 2 a.m. playing and then complain that she

doesn't feel good or that she's tired all the time. We used to go to bed together at about 10 to 11 p.m. And we used to do a lot of things together. It was great. Or last year or so, I don't think we've gone to bed at the same time even once. I try to get her to come to bed with me, but she refuses saying that she's going to stay up a while longer.

Side note, as you can imagine,

this has unalived the intimacy in the relationship. We've only had spicy sleep once in the last year. It was at one time in a relationship at least once a week. If I wake up at 1 a.m. to use the bathroom and she's still gaming. I walk out to tell her to come to bet and that being up too late is bad for her. She gets irritated with me and says she's not tired even though I know she is based on her complaints the next day. She says I'm being controlling. I really don't think that telling my wife to come to bed so she can get at least four hours of sleep is controlling. She's an adult. She proclaims she is and she should be responsible enough

to take care of herself, but she refuses to do so. I don't know how to get around this without

her getting upset. I honestly think there may be some addictive slash obsessive component at work
