Hey, about your journal entry. I know people are posting that he is a loser and this and that... but the truth is, that game is addictive... well, I haven't played that game actually, but any of those online games are addictive. They change your life. My last relationship fell apart in part because of Everquest. I stopped playing that game, and it is amazing how I now want to do OTHER stuff.
Realizing he is addicted is the first step. You can't make him, he will have to figure it out for himself. I don't exactly know how everything is in your household, but it sounds like you are a GREAT girl... so was my ex. We had other problems though. Anyways, you are right, things aren't really going to change until he admits he is addicted to it.
My ex didn't want to have sex, just wanted to hang on me. Didn't want to have conversation, didn't want to go out with her friends... ever! You, on the other hand, sound like exactly what a guy could want. Just the right balance. It is ashame he can't see through his problem and realize the life that he is destroying.
Anyways, good luck to you. not sure if I helped/hurt/or whatever... but I wish you the best.
But it's not him I'm concerned about, it's you. You need to start taking care of what you need. Someone above said to follow your heart and I disagree with that slightly because your heart is not reliable. It can be mislead by emotion. Instead follow your gut. You know in your gut what you need to do. You know whether or not you are getting what you need and whether this person is even capable of giving you what you need in the future. Remember, there are 6 billion people in this world. Somewhere out there there exists someone that will give you what you need in a partner. Sure he may be a good friend, but a lover needs to be so much more. Almost anyone can be a good friend if you let them in, but not everyone can be a good lover. And trust me, once intamacy leaves the relationship it's over. Intamacy is what seperates a friend from a lover.
I'm in a simular situation right now, but that is something I can get into later if you are interested. By no means am I trying to tell you what to do or push you in a direction, but you need to take care of yourself first. If you are not happy at home, you can't possibly be truely happy in other aspects of your life. Good luck.
