Fear that your husband or wife seems to only care about video games
Isolation when your spouse is entrenched in their virtual world
Loneliness
Neglect
Disappointment or hurt that your spouse chooses gaming over time with you
Poor self-esteem
Resentment or anger that you bear the brunt of responsibilities at home or with your children
