Dear Annie: My wife of 15 years is seriously addicted to fantasy role-playing games, often spending 12 hours or more online every day. I really can’t begrudge her this form of entertainment.

The problem is, I see her withdrawing from the real world in which I prefer to live. I favor face-to-face relationships with actual people, whereas she considers her online “guildies” to be her true friends.
