Addictive personalities have been associated with ADHD, OP. Your husband with an addiction to gaming may also suffer from ADHD. Read up on it (hyperactive, inattentive, and mixed types) and see whether he might benefit from an evaluation by a psychiatrist in view of trying medication. You can accompany your husband to his first appointment to provide the doctor with your perspective on his gaming. At some point, they will talk together privately, but your input as an adult living with the patient is invaluable to the picture the doctor will be trying to form.

The medication, if your husband has ADHD, and has trouble controlling his gaming impulse, will help him prioritize tasks and not let gaming take over his life.

Good luck. My husband and teen both have ADHD, and we have seen how video games affect my teen. He's compliant enough to reluctantly stop when we tell him to, but I can see how his ADHD contributes to his obsession with a particular video game. He too, thinks and talks of nothing else before he finishes a game!
