Bought my husband a gaming rig for his birthday… now he’s lost in CS2

Last month was my husband’s birthday. He’s always reminiscing about his college days playing CS with the boys, so I thought — perfect gift: a top-of-the-line gaming PC. Worst. Idea. Ever. He downloaded CS2, and it’s been all-night matches ever since. He’ll crash at 4 AM, sleep half the day on weekends. We had a Europe trip fund going — he dipped into it for a $600 knife skin. I tried to be cool at first. I really did. I’m not against gaming. But it’s like he’s replaced real life with ranked queues. We barely talk like we used to. It’s heartbreaking. Anyone else’s spouse fall down this rabbit hole? How do you pull them back? #Marriage #CS2 #GamingAddiction #Relationships #LifeBalance
