10/20 Virtual Chaos

Quote From: jules1965

I hate World of Warcraft! (WoW)

 

My hubby started playing WoW a few months ago with all his buddies from work. My hubby works long hours (70) a week and I thought it was a good way for him to destress/decompress after work. To relax and be casual with the guys.

 

Let me tell you....I'm so done with this game. If I say anything he pitches a fit and gets angry that I'm forcing him off the game to spend time with me.

 

This week we have company from China........he still gets on the game after work and ignores me and our guest!!

I've said he was being RUDE and he did get off the game but he was angry.

 

I'm so SICK of this game. He has tried to get me to play it but I REFUSE!

 

Hubby does not ask for much out of life, he is a quiet person without many hobbies so I fell for this and thought it was okay for him to finally have a hobby.

I HATE IT!

 

I have not threatened to pull the plug on the game yet but I'm very tempted.

All I want is my hubby back.

 

He'll get home from work at 2:30am and go to bed at 5:00-5:30am..... He plays WoW before work (1-2 hrs) then after work for 2-3 hrs.

This has taken place of SEX, communication.........it has invaded all parts of our marriage yet he is CLUELESS.

If I complain he gets mad and threatens not to play the game at all. He has NO BALANCE here.

 

I've sat quietly doing my own thing, not complaining and I'm not a complaining wife.......he has a very nice job with a great salary, provides well for me. (kids are grown)

 

Still.......I'm frustrated right now but haven't gotten to the anger stage. If I reach the anger stage you better believe WoW is going to be G-O-N-E gone!

(he might go with it!)

 

I think WoW is the worst game ever......it has invaded so many homes, so many lives, so many things......and the addicts are clueless.

 

I wish this game was never invented. I bet there are many divorces due to WoW with many more to come......who knows, my once happy marriage may join the long line.

 

I'll pull the plug on the game when I've had enough and he knows he's pushing me to the brink of it.....but I want HIM to realize he's taking too much away from our marriage....I want HIM to want to get off the game.....I want HIM to realize on his own that this is an ugly addiction like any other substance.

 

 

My question is why are you blaming a game when you should be looking at your husband. There are millions of people (including my husband) that play the game and have some control over the amount of time they spend on it. I agree that when the game starts to disrupt your life, there is a problem, but I don't think it's fair to blame the game.
