Ehh... according to this news article, 25% of all otaku in Japan are closet otaku, "whose wives and children give them little time to openly pursue their beloved pastimes." Dude, if you've managed to break out of your socially inept shell long enough to get married and even have children, you've given up the "otaku" title long, looong ago. =) There's no going back unless you divorce your wife and forsake your kids.

They don't need to divorce. When the Japanese marry, it tends to be the end of nagging (from relatives)and romance (from the spouse) anyway. Especially when they have kids - takes the wife's attention away - a perfection environment for close otaku's. =D
