I had 11 years basically stolen from me when I married my first wife. She went from "spent time with your friends" to "you spend time with me now" almost overnight. No more LAN parties, no more gaming (because her brother got addicted to WoW and therefore gaming = bad), no hanging out with friends unless she ok'd it (spoiler: never happened), etc.

I should have left, but as a naive Mormon kid, I thought that's just how it was supposed to be.

I've since renounced any religion and am happily remarried. I game with my brothers and occasionally random strangers. It's great fun, and I can involve my kids.
