20. We all know that marriage troubles are caused by wives.

At least that seems to be the view of society often.

A woman's appearance has often been blamed by a man's philandering or otehrwise being a lousy husband. But look at all the beautiful models and celebrities whose husbands are lousy. But don't we all know some people where the wife is a bit homely or at least certainly not beautiful, but the husband is still in love & is a great husband, it seems? Appearance is apparently not a factor (distinguished from cleanliness & good grooming).

As for hubby...I speak from experience when I say that video games and some other activites are addictive.

As for the son noticing dad's activities, it seems to me that what son is really saying is that dad is no longer a part of the family, which includes the son. Not just mom. That sounds like what happened to me & my hubby before we separated and divorced. The first thing you do is beging to separate yourself from the unit...you are separated in your mind, and you physically separate....then you divorce.

The son is very observant. Dad needs to unplug the computer, step away, and not go back to the computer. That's what I had to do with my Nintendo years ago. You can waste away your life with those things.
