HOW POKEMON GO DESTROYED MY MARRIAGE

My husband and I have been married about five years. It was probably two weeks ago, right after our anniversary, that I started noticing something was going on. Where are you going? He would get home later than usual. He would go in on days that he normally wouldn't have to. One night, I called into his work after he was supposed to have already been home, and they said he had left hours ago. So that's when I knew for sure something was up. Oh, hey, babe. What's up? Sorry. So, I finally decided to follow him the other day when he said he was going to the gym. I've been begging him to go for years, and he hasn't had any interest until now. So when we pulled up to a hotel, I was a little bit confused, and that's when I found out. Hey! John! What are you doing? It's just Pokemon. I swear, it's just Pokemon. Apparently, there are Pokemon gyms in all kinds of random places. At first, I thought maybe it would be something fun we could do together, you know, I really didn't mind. Yes! I got it! Are you kidding me? Are you serious? You knew I was looking for that one! Apparently, it was a big deal to take the Pikachu that he had been looking for. So I've heard about a lot of dads spending more time with their kids playing Pokemon Go, and I thought, hey, that's a great way, maybe we can spend a little bit more time with our kids outside, having fun, and that turned out to be a really bad idea. He's going to get away. Oh my, he's getting away. Oh, okay. Here, just let me do it. I will turn to say something to him, and he is already halfway down the street trying to catch Pokemon. So we were going on a date, and we were going out to dinner, and he hurried me along and told me we had to hurry up and leave a little bit early, so I'm thinking we had some sort of great surprise planned, you know, I got in the car all excited, we were driving around making all these random stops, and I asked him what he was doing, and he said he wanted to stop at a couple of the Pokestops on the way. And we missed our dinner reservations. Neighbors are starting to give me weird looks when they see my husband standing out in the street with their kids. It's that way! He doesn't help much with the kids anymore. It's actually pretty much the opposite. Gotcha! Oh baby, come to papa. Ooh, a Jigglypuff! What did you call me? I'm leaving. No, Jessica! Jessica! I'm leaving. So that's pretty much when we realized that we needed some help. I still have Hope. We talked about it, and he's going to meetings and getting the help that he needs. Where are you going? He's calling his sponsor. Sometimes when we talk about it, it makes him want to play, and he seems to be getting help. I'm really proud of the progress that he's making.
