HELP! S/O addicted to clash of clans (aka CoC) I'm so sad and frustrated. My fiance started playing this blood sucking game last summer. He never played video games for three years since we went out. At first when he picked it up, it was because he wanted to 'bond' with his little 11 year old cousin. He said the game was lame and that it only required a few minutes everyday to play.
Now, he's got three devices which he carries with him everywhere he goes (the toilet, work, dinner outings, dinner at home). He's gotten all his friends to join his 'clan', which consists of his friends, his cousin's elementary school kid friends, and his coworkers. During dinners with his family, I just sit beside him like I'm non-existent and he talks to his cousin about the game for the entire night. During dinners with his friends, they are all talking about the game.
I complained about the amount of time he commits to playing this cyber game, but he just lashes back and says he is 'hardly on it' and that I'm always on Instagram or just doing other stuff on my phone. I try to say that it's not the same (I don't NEED to be on my phone), but he says that I have my interests on my phone and he has his. He also claims it's just a game and over 22 million people have downloaded this fun game and everyone plays (so it's 'normal').
I'm scared. I look up clash of clan addiction on Google, and all these people write about how their S/O have been addicted to this dumb game for 3 or 4+ years and have spent hundreds or thousands of dollars on it. I read these people married these CoC-addicted S/Os and nothing gets better and only worse - esp when the kids come along.
It sounds dumb to not wanna marry someone because of a game...but I've voiced my concern so many times, it's become 'nagging' and he doesn't want to hear it and I don't want to see him play it.
I'm so lost and dunno what to do. HELP :'(
