how do i get the message across to my g/f

i think i have raised this issue before but the situation has got worse. my g/f is addicted to a online game which involves multi player play. she spends alot more time playing it than spending time with me. it came to a dreadful head at the weekend which resulted in her slapping me. i had had a really stressful week i had been twice with my elderly aunt to hospital after falls,worried about my elderly father health and in that week one of my beloved dogs injured her spine but shes ok now thank godness. anyway things started getting worse in the past few months when my g/f brought a headset with mic and all i could hear was her chatting away to her game playing friends while i just was left on my own. she hardly ever chats to me. but on saturday when i was really down and needed some company all i could hear was her roaring with laughter and chatting away,apparently two 14 year old lads had joined the game and my g/f and another 2 male players was teaching them to play. i'll try and make this brief i had a phone call which upset me i was in tears and went to my glf to ask to talk to her.she said to her friends "hang on my partner wants to talk to me be back soon" at this point she had been playing and chatting for about 4 hours. she just talked to me for about ten minutes before going back on there and was immediatly roaring with laughter and chatting again. after about 6 hours on there i'd had enough. i have written it in full on my journal on here but i'm trying to keep it brief on this post. so next day i'm on her pc because it's faster than my laptop hers is a gaming pc. i see skype on her task bar so curiosty got the better of me i had no idea she was using skype. i saw a conversation between my g/f and these 2 young lads and another male i saw "do you want sex" from one of the males and i just had the red mist come down and deleted all the males off her skype(they was all from world of warcraft) later on i told her what i had done and why she went ballastic i asked why was she using skype when this online game had their own service to chat to other players she said because these two young lads had skype but hadn't downloaded the games own service yet and she hadnt seen the conversation because she was just using her mic to chat on skype. she was shouting at me then slapped me hard on my arm then as i sat down was leaning over me right in my face shouting at me. i didn't admit it to her but i was as scared as hell and she knows i've had 2 violent relationships before meeting her. she knows i have a paranoid personality disorder but still carried on regardless. this game has took over her life she doesnt even come to bed with me instead comes to bed about 4am sometimes later than that ,then doesn't get up until lunchtime. she has showed no remorse for slapping me.the other week when we was rowing over all the time she spent on this game i asked her which was more important to her the game or our relationship she said right at that moment the game. i guess i know what the replies to my post will be and i guess my advice would be the same get shut of her. but i want to give her just one more chance but how do i put it to her this online game is wrecking our relationship?

I would feel lonely, invisible, and unimportant to someone in your shoes, also. Your feelings matter and if your partner doesn't care or respect your feelings, then you have to. A friend of mine gave me the best advice, "Only you will know when you're done." In the meantime, stay safe. Maybe some distance (even if under the same roof) will give some clarity to both of you. Best wishes,
