A growing number of marriages are being wrecked by video game addiction. More women filing for divorce are complaining that their husbands spend too long playing video games, according to research. Of those wives who cite unreasonable behaviour for ending their marriage, 15 per cent believe their partners put gaming before them. This has soared from 5 per cent a year ago, the study by Divorce Online found. In particular, disgruntled wives blamed World of Warcraft, which allows gamers to create their own fantasy character for mythical adventures, and Call of Duty, where gamers battle in various war zones. The games have faced heavy criticism in the past for their addictive properties, with some claiming that World of Warcraft is more addictive than cocaine. One wife who blames her husband's obsession for the breakdown of their marriage is Jessica Ellis, 24, from London. She said: "He was addicted to World of Warcraft but played other games now and then. The amount he was playing gradually increased until I could not take it any more. When it became serious he was playing up to eight hours a day." From / Gulf News
