Posted: 10/10/2006 4:04:23 PM | | WOW is very addictive. Put your foot down and set a boundary. Either he budgets time for you or he won't get your time any more.... | |

Huh? She said the guy is choosing the game over her. That's neither a control freak or asking to be the center of attention. That's asking for SOME of his attention.
Hey look if the guy would rather play WOW than spend time with his G/F then she has every right to go look for a guy who isn't addicted to video games. | |

Posted: 10/10/2006 4:08:02 PM | | ok fair enough, i can see how you would think that. i can honestly say i am not at all controlling. lol. but when the game comes first, over anythin else. including spending a 1 year anniversary with the game, rather than the gf, its an issue, and a stupid addiction. | |

Posted: 10/10/2006 4:16:45 PM | Wow... he chose a game over you?
And it was just World of Warcraft? LOL!
Actually used to spend ages playing WoW with my ex, while she still lived in BC. It was our way of spending "quality time" together. :p
It's obvious that he's suffering from addiction. My ex still plays WoW. I gave it up. Got bored. :p
There are help groups and such, or councelling for such problems. WoW especially has become a big problem for addictions.
So, in some ways, he deserves some pity, and a bit of understanding.
But, seriously, if he'd pass up your anniversary to play the game, he needs serious attention. And he's too far gone to be reached.
It's his loss my dear. And at least you know him enough now to get out while you can. Because if he can become so easily addicted to one thing... there could be others down the road.
Anyone who'd rather be playing the game instead of spending time with a wonderful woman like you definitely needs help.
I may be quite the gaming addict myself, but I have my priorities. ;) | |

Posted: 10/10/2006 4:59:59 PM | Let me get this right, He chose a cold plastic game over a warm breathing female body?
What a Dumbass!!!
It sounds like he will be playing with more than one "joystick" from now on.
He chose a game...... I am still LMAO........My side is starting to hurt | |

Posted: 10/10/2006 5:24:32 PM | Warcraft is an immensely addicting game, like many other online RPGs, and pretty much ruin your life.
Dump him. There's no way someone that obsessed with the game is going to pay any attention to you unless you get the game yourself.
Do you guys know that one person shot himself because a guy stole his sword on EverQuest?
SOMEONE STOLE HIS IMAGINARY SWORD.
Don't get me wrong, I'm a video gamer myself, but I'm not retardedly addicted to them. | |

Posted: 10/10/2006 6:04:48 PM | The game is fun, rewarding, stimulating, and entertaining. The girlfriend is angry.
Hmmmmm.......... | |

Funny, i think frap may be onto something here....
When i started playing more video games than hanging out with my girlfriend it wasn't because i was addicted to the game, it was because she was annoying the sht outta me and i didn't wanna deal with it. The relationship was already going down the tubes, why create tons of drama arguing with her, when i can level up my gnome rogue?
Honestly, i don't know why your relationship failed, chances are, some of it was your fault, some was his, although i do appreciate you coming here with a one sided story and blasting your ex, thats beautiful and to the guys here that pander to your every whim, "grow some balls". | |

Posted: 10/10/2006 6:29:26 PM | LOL 
This gnome rogue (whatever that is) just told other men to "grow some balls" LOL
Holy dungeons and dragons I can't believe I just read that! LOL
Anyway, OP, many times people are looking to get out of a relationship so that will take the very next opportunity they find to have an argument, though I've never seen a guy use an excuse that makes him look like such a fool. But if that was the case then it worked. Either way, you're better off.
Roll-playing games are fast becoming the new age "home wreckers". It's good that you found out sooner than later and won't have to waste any more time with him. | |

Posted: 10/10/2006 6:36:45 PM | Well, at least you found it humerous, as it was meant to be such.
and yes, most guys here need to grow balls, im sick of readng threads about women whining and every guy wants to be their shoulder to cry on. Are the guys here really that pathetic, i dont know....but i'm coming to that conclusion. | |

Posted: 10/10/2006 6:40:03 PM | I don't play warcraft....(I still don't get the big deal with it.) However....if I'm on the high score of the old Sonic The Hedgehog classic games....sorry baby, but this is the one thing I'm looking to nail.
"Look honey! I'm naked and you can have me any way you want!!"
"Not now!! I've just finally reached Dr. Robotnik and taking him down! His ass is mine!" | |

Posted: 10/10/2006 7:05:07 PM | It's addiction. Plain and simple. I deal with it constantly from others, and for this reason alone, I won't allow myself to play that type of game. I want something with a clearly defined goal, and one I can continue later.
It has a stimulation/reward situation. And with any stimulation/reward system, people get hooked. It's how we're built.
Because just like a junky, he's thinking about it all the time when he's not playing, and the only way to break it is replace it with a new addiction, or take some time off and the withdrawls will go away.
Now, I have yet to receive the BJ while playing a game that I've heard so much about. It's a goal on my checklist. | |

This guy has it right.World of Warcraft is an MMO, and MMO's are known to be addictive money traps.

that being said, could be that he's not addicted, he's just not that into you. | |

Posted: 10/10/2006 7:55:35 PM | Wheres the thread of a woman brushing off a guy so that she can watch her favorite tv show? Or the one about a woman going to the mall then rather going out for dinner? You get the idea...
It works both ways, anyone who has had a relative long relationship will know this. If he was gaming before he met you, then chances are he will keep gaming while your with him. Changing him wont help.(never try to change your man, unless hes doing something self destructive like drug use etc).
Instead of scolding him, why dont you try the game yourself and then you two will have something else to chat about during the downtime. On the same note why not try to make him agree to take up something you really enjoy doing. A relationship is built on give and take and cooperation. Having both partners try different things that the other likes to do, will not only strengthen the relationship but help it to grow.
