Like many of you my husband of 1 year plays like nothing eles exsists! He has been playing for 4 years and i cant count the fights and the tears i've had. I have totaly run out of options. Everytime I bring it up he yells and throws things, he tells me that he plays cause he's bord, angry, had a bad day, stressed out.....I'm so tired of the same excuses, I have told him that I feel like he would rather choose the game over me. He put his wow account on MY visa card while I was on the phone!! When I asked him about it he said he would pay me every month for it....we have a joint bank account..mmmm??!! I tell him that I feel loney and 2nd best to his game, at least 2 a week I tell him that he spends more time with night elves than he does with his on wife. He tells me he will cut back and askes me what i wanna do so I think..mm, he really wants to spend time with me, so we go to the mall. The whole time were there he huffs and puffs and the minute we get home he is back on the game, My husnad is a hard worker and usually works 7 days a week, but everyday after work he starts the computer up and plays till he decideds to come to bed (I cant remember the last time he came to bed with me) Weekends he is up tat 8 in the morning and will play till4 the next morning. I read about marriges ending and its so sad that this game is destroying ppls lives. My husband is the love of my life we made a promise to each other, but obviously he is not living up to his end of the deal. We never talk anymore and i'm not expecting him to sit there and talk for hours about "sex in the city" but our conversations for the whole time we see each other is "how was your day"? "fine..how was yours" "ok" Thats my life. What am I supposed to do? I'm tired of haveing the same issues with him and having a husband who doesnt RESPECT my feelings! I would never do anything to hurt my husband in anyway and if he ever came to me and said "wife..that really hurt me" Would you not do anything and everything in your power to make it better? I'm just so glad that I finally have ppl out there that are going through the samething iam, ppl who can support me and relate to me. We are all on here for one purpose and one purpose only......To get our husbands, boyfriens, girlfriend, wife...friends... BACK.

    Make no mistake, WoW addiction is like drug addiction. Breaking it is really really hard, and arguments and 'conversations' won't break it.

    In the end, people seldom break their addictions for other people. Something clicks inside. There's an emptiness somewhere. You shouldn't feel bad that you can't fill it, you *can't*. It's not an emptiness that any other person can fill, it just doesn't work like that. Let me say it again, it's not your fault. It's not your job to fix him. If he breaks the habit, he'll do it for reasons that he will barely understand. He'll feel them more than anything.

    The mere fact that a video game is worth creating any conflict with someone you love is ... shocking .... amazing. You are absolutely right. It really reveals the evil behind this game.

    I wish I could give you advice, but we all only really know our own lives, eh? So let me just say it again: You are right to feel how you feel. And this situation is NOT YOUR FAULT. Be strong.

    My wife tells me that we don't talk anymore and that I don't listen. Well she'll be talking to her wow friends on her headset, and then make a comment to me....and i'm paying no attention, especially since i'm thinking that she's talking to her wow people. She then says....i guess we don't talk anymore, to which i responded, that its hard to figure out when she's talking to me or into her headset and that she should address me if she wants to talk. Its to the point now that i don't recognize her without her headset on. sheesh!
