    My hushand is Internet Addiction Disorder (IAD)
    My husband is 37-yr-old man.. and he is kind of IAD.. We have to live separated because of Immigration law for 2 yrs.. He spends most of his time on Face book that call Farm ville... He avoids talking to me and try to make up some problem to go on Internet.. Now the immigration problem have been resolve and we can get back together.. **But** he doesn't want me to get back and be with him anymore... He afraid I would take everything away from him... What should I do about his symptom?. I need help!! His parent also not try to help him but tell him to keep on doing his addiction... :(:eek:

    I will try to respond the best I can, but if he makes reasons not to see or talk to you so he can get on the internet, then chances are he is involved in a virtual relationship with another woman. You will need to sit down with him and talk it over with him. I've seen this happen more than a few times and it is horrible. Do you have kids together?

    I think you decide to leave him to his family and addiction and consider dissolving the marriage down the road.

    Whatever his problems, he doesn't sound like a loving husband.

    So you have been married for 2 years and have seen him twice? When he came to visit you he stayed on the internet?

    When will you be-able to live with him full-time? Have you talked to him about the marriage at all?

    Call me a marriage buster but I think you should let him go.

    Married or not, a guy should WANT you. He doesn't want you- he likes his life the way it is-- with you far far away!


    Tal is right, he doesn't sound like a loving husband.

    Does he still live with his parents? If so he is pathetic, he needs to grow a pair! If he can't handle being on his own then he certainly can't handle a marriage let alone a child.

    He's a loser.

    Stay where you are and make your own life. He doesn't want you, why should you?

    Life is short, don't waste your time on people like that.


    that's my two cents

    Doesn't sound much like a husband to me. If he is saying he wants nothing to do with your son, then there is no way it can work in my opinion.

    Worrying about his internet usage is like throwing deck chairs off the Titanic. Too little too late.

    Jump ship before you drown.

    There are other guys that know how to be good husbands.

    Go find you one.

    Now is not the right time... I do need to get back and talk to him first.. giving it up is just piece of cake but dealing is more challenging

    If this is your decision, then try this site: http://www.internetaddiction.com  E-Mail: [email protected]                  (818)340-2713 pst      INTERNET-A-HOLICS ANONYMOUS

    I think it's ironic that they are offering online support, but I guess it's a start.

    Good luck to you.

    Er, when is the right time? If there are problems now with addictive behavior, avoidance and lack of communication how precisely do you propose to deal with them?

    If these problems exist now then how will it be in 5, 10, 15 years time?

    By all means talk to him, but it doesn't sound as if you know this guy very well, and I'd be prepared for disappointment.

    I keep getting emails on my phone telling me people are replying, so I came back here once again to see what everyone is saying. However, I read through the original problem and found this line.

    He doesn't want you to come back because he is scared you will take everything away from him. Do yourself a favor and stay where you are, and leave him where he is. Take care of your son and move on.
