xbox live is killing my relationship - Talk About Marriage

I'm new here, and here's a little about me. I'm a 24 year old attractive woman who is active duty military (home-ported) and new here so I am on a light schedule 2 days work 2 days off etc etc. So I am home a great deal of time, and when I am not I am only 2 miles away from our home.

My husband is 26 years old and is a retired army vet who sustained injuries causeing him to be medically disabled, he isnt in a wheelchair or anything, he's physically capable of doing things just his medical problems ake it nearly impossible to sustain a traditional civilian job so he is at home.

When we were dating, before we were married he had no addictions, he had an xbox and rarely used it, maybe he'd get onlineto play with friends he knew IRL from time to time but it was nothing major and I considered that normal. Now he has "friends" he made while playing the game and acts as if they "depend" on him to play with them to level up or whatever.

After I got out of bootcamp we gpt married and moved to michigan where I am stationed. The first few months here were rocky, he's go to the casino from time to time and spend large amounts of money when we didnt have things for our house that we wanted. Well, we fixed that by talking it over and creating a budgeting system. So that problem is gone, or its just way too cold out for him to want to go anywhere.

Recently, he bought the COD MW3 game and it feels like thats all she wrote. He no longer/rarely calls/texts me while I'm on duty at work. And when I'm home he'll get on there and 4 or more hours will go by leaving me to feel as if I shouldnt have come home in the first place. We'll be watching a movie on netflix or hulu and he'll say something like "oh so and so's on" like he wants to stop what we're doing and do that.

I feel like I'm here in real life so I should be more important. I'm hurt, I feel ignored and discarded as he is also increasingly moody if I ask him to do something non-game related. I'm hoping this is just a phase, like a new toy thing children go through because I have no idea what to do if it lasts. Please offer any advice possible and if your SO went through this game or something similar how long did it last?

The last 2 days I was home he was "normal" like maybe played an hour or 2 each day, but today I'm back at work and hadn't heard squat from him until about 5pm. Am I a bad wife or something because I work and we dont have children? This whole situation just depresses the crap out of me.
