Purely by chance, I happened upon an article I wrote for the Escapist back in 2009. It was my first ever feature article and I was so pleased to get the opportunity. The article was called "Those Left Behind," and was the story of how I felt displaced by my wife's growing obsession with World of Warcraft.
I few months after that article was published, my wife - who is now my ex-wife - and I split up. Reading back over that article, it seems utterly ridiculous that I was so blind-sided by the break up. It was all there in black and white, but, as I'm fond of saying, it's hard to see the shape of something when you're in the middle of it. (Seriously, that's something I actually say.)
