社交游戏可以十分浪漫，因为它有可能帮你找到真爱，鼓励用户建立关系，据称FarmVilleFreak.com就是由一队可爱的玩家夫妇安吉拉和迈克尔·莫拉莱斯共同创办的。但有一名男子（他可能度过了一个很糟糕的情人节）好像受够到和一个《FarmVille》结婚的滋味。据游戏邦了解，这名自称“受够了”的用户向Annie’s Mailbox论坛发贴寻求帮助，因为他的妻子总是沉迷于《FarmVille》游戏。

他的贴子开篇显得很无辜，据他所称，妻子每个晚上都上网玩游戏，从来不陪他，也不看电视。接下来情况就更不妙了，这位“受够了”的丈夫表示，“家里简直就是一团糟”，妻子完全无暇顾及家务，他只好采取行动，把妻子电脑上的游戏全部中断，谎称说电脑出现了故障，但妻子并没有因为这样而罢手，反而想尽办法让游戏重新运行。他这样形容妻子的反常行为，“有一天，她在这个网站上玩了8个小时。我有时在凌晨3点还碰到她在上网。”

不知道这位“受够了”的男子有没有想过和妻子一起玩《FarmVille》。或者想开玩笑问他，妻子有没有向他要Unwither Ring。他在这件事情上的态度似乎有些消极和过激，老实说，他的妻子有可能是厌倦了一成不变的生活，希望通过玩游戏来调剂生活而已。游戏邦获悉，这名倒霉丈夫“监视，限制或者妨碍”妻子电脑运行的行为，其实真的有些过火了，因为毕竟她已经是一个成年人了。这位丈夫还说了很多，我们就不一一赘述。毕竟他们已是20多年的夫妻，大家难免会认为这只是一个丈夫在发发牢骚而已。但我们也发现了真正让他的妻子沉迷游戏的原因，并不完全是社交游戏，就像Annie论坛所做的回复一样：

亲爱的“受够了”先生：这些在线游戏鼓励玩家持续体验乐趣，许多游戏还提供虚拟社交社区。你的妻子担心如果她长时间不玩游戏的话，就会被淘汰出局。她并没有意识到自己其实已经被淘汰出局了——她脱离了你的生活。和其他沉迷行为一样，你的妻子可能需要接受专业的心理帮助。同时，你最好让她坚持在每天某一时段关掉电脑安排一些她感兴趣的约会，让她出去走走。她需要回归真实的世界。

你们是如何看待这种现象的呢？丈夫偷偷监视妻子的行为是不是太过分了呢？他的妻子是真的是沉迷于游戏吗？还是说她只是把这个当作借口，上网做其他的事情呢？（本文为游戏邦/gamerboom.com编译，转载请注明来源：游戏邦）

Husband of 20 years is ‘Fed Up with a FarmVille Fanatic’

Social games can get pretty romantic, help you find true love, and embolden people into forming relationships. Moreover, our partner site FarmVilleFreak.com, is run by the lovely couple Angela & Michael Morales. But one man (who’s probably had a terrible Valentine’s Day) is learning what’s it like to be married to a FarmVille addict. Yesterday, ‘Fed Up with a Farmville Fanatic’ sought advice from the Annie’s Mailbox advice column for help with his wife’s ceaseless FarmVille gaming.

His letter started off innocently enough, where his wife would choose to go online instead spending her usual evenings with him or the television. Later on, it gets worse, where ‘Fed Up’ claims that their “house is a disaster”, his wife is too distracted to help out with chores, and he has taken matters into his own hands to get the game to stop working on his wife’s computer. But instead of using the downtime as an excuse to stop playing, his wife used every means to get the game running again. The one line that indicates that his wife may have a problem is that “In a single day, she spent eight hours on this site. I’ve caught her online at 3 a.m.”

I have to wonder if ‘Fed Up’ has ever considered playing FarmVille with his wife. Or jokingly ask him if she’s demanded an Unwither Ring yet. He seems to be dealing with this problem rather passive-aggressively, and frankly, his wife just sounds bored of their routine. On top of that, Fed Up’s secret sabotage attempts to “monitor, limit or block access” on her computer comes off as creepily excessive, when you consider the fact that she’s an adult. There seems to be a lot more going on here than what we can see. After two decades of marriage, you’d think that he can talk something out. But we’re also aware of how real addiction can be, and it’s not just a problem with social games either, as Annie helpfully responds:

Dear Fed Up: These online games encourage constant participation, and many provide virtual social communities. Your wife fears that if she stops playing for an extended period, she will lose out. She doesn’t realize that she is already losing out – with you. Like any addiction, your wife may need professional help to stop. In the meantime, insist that she shut off the computer at a specified time each day. Plan dates that will interest her enough to get out of the house. She needs to get back into the real world.

So what do you guys think is going on here? Did the husband cross the line with his admittedly “clandestine” monitoring? Is the wife addicted, or for the more imaginative of you out there, do you think she’s using her addiction as an excuse to do other things online? Bookmark this site! （Source：Games.com）
