I am with you....I have been with my bf for four years. Our relationship is so wonderful in everyway....except wow. I want him to have his own interests, I have mine...but he plays at least 30 hours a week...and quite honestly it is starting to "gross me out"...I go to school full time, work a full time job, and volunteer time to causes I care about. When I met him he cared about things, he had an incredible work ethic....I am wondering how much of that he has left in him. Not that change is bad, I have changed since he first met me, there is change in any long term relationship, I just....do not know. I used to have so much respect for him, and sadly this is deffinitly affecting it. Watching him play hour after hour, day after day.....I am becoming less attracted to him. I know everyone is think, just leave him. It is not that easy, I love him, I want him to change. We live together, I do no have anywhere else to go. He is my best friend...when he is not on wow, he is everything I want in a partener...I have NEVER supported making someone choose between me or anything...but it is on my mind more and more....I am so confused about what to do

I agree: what you said sounds like my story too. I'm so sick of WOW and none of my friend's boyfriends play it so they don't really understand my delima. This arvo after I spoke to my boyfrind and he'd been on the computer for 5 hours playing WOW, i'd had enough so I typed in "I hate World of Warcraft" on google and this site popped up. So happy to have found it and know that I'm not the only one with a loser boyfriend. If he spent even half as much time looking for a better job or doing something practical like, I don't know... the washing, then our house would be spotless and he'd have the best job in the world.

He lives a five minute drive from two of his best friends but instead of going to see them and catch a movie or have a beer at the pub, they actually prefer to arrange times to all play WOW together. I've played a bit of WOW before on my boyfriends account and there's no way in hell I'd ever actually prefer to do that then see my friends in real life.

Yeah, thank goodness for this forum. You annoying attention seeking wives/girlfriends realized that your partner doesn't care about your whining, so you have to go somewher else to do it. atleast its being contained.

well i have a solution for you, destroy his computer, stick him in wow rehab and if that doesn't work bring him to the military for deprogramming, by the time they're done he'll think wow is a terrorist organization.

I was in a relationship with my boyfriend for about 3.5 months before he broke up with me because he claimed he wanted more personal time to himself other than school, and he felt bogged down by a relationship as he wanted more opportunities to do his own things and not feel limited in life by having a girlfriend. But I'm not stupid and I know that his personal life consists mostly of playing WoW. Whenever he's not busy with school, he'd mostly be in front of his laptop playing WoW with every chance he gets. On weekends, he goes to his friend's house to play and they'd be questing and raiding together along with their other guildees.

He prefers playing that game on the weekends over spending time with me, and here he is claiming that he has no time for his girlfriend and wants to call it off simply because he thinks he needs to concentrate more on his own personal life. He tried getting me into the game at some point, and I played for over a month trying to get myself into it as well. But right now, I realize I don't want to succumb to the same level and fate of ignoring my life's priorities just to sit down in front of the computer and play for hours and hours on end everyday. I realize addiction is fatal and can ruin lives and relationships. I'm sick of my ex's attitude. If he valued me and our relationship, he would've done what he could to make time for me and put effort into making me happy. He just needs to balance his life and realize what's important. For now, nothing else matters more to him than that stupid game.
