My husband is obsessed with the game Everquest. He has been playing now for 2 years. When he is not working he is playing, he doesn't help with the kids, and he's not much of a husband these days. I understand that men like to do their own thing time and again but this is all the time. I don't want to throw around the word divorce but I'm afraid that it will eventually come to that if it doesn't slow down.

He's taking the game too far. That is an extreme. I play games all the time but I don't make it my life. I make time for my girlfriend and hope in the future to make time for my family when we have one.
Talk to him about it first. Explain what irks you and if he denies it then keep at it.
If you've tried that then set a time limit on the computer. If they can have time limits for kids you can get a limit for him. You could probably also find a way to keep the game from being downloaded again if you delete it.
Heck, if you don't want to do that then show him he's missing something better than a game. Get a little naughty one night and be the one at the computer when he gets home. Keep his mind off of the game.

then is the time you put down the trump card. delete the game and break the disk. if he can't be more considerate of his family and give his time to you instead of the game make him think harder about what's more important. leave him a wonderful note along with a missing computer

You don't understand the severity of that. If I were to delete the game he would just download again. If he found out that I did it, he would probably file for divorce. We have not went out as a couple in more than 6 months because he would rather play this game.

Your husband is obviously addicted to the game.Addiction is always been resulted to bad actions or poor in prioritizing what really is important. You should talk to him firts and say how you really feel about it. He is into a bad habbit and you try to do something to get him out of it. But divorce should be in the last list of your option as for now.

I feel from your words that you and your husband did not have a conversation. In this situation is two wayes: out or in. I prefer the "in" one that mean to talk. people are talking, so please have a patience and if you want to change some situacion here simply talk with him agein and agein.
Best Regards
