My fiance and I have been together for 3 years and everything has been great until last January. My fiance use to play Diablo 2 alot but it didn't bother me that bad because he still would make time for me and our kids. When he started WoW I was cool with it, now it is taking over his life. I try to talk to him sometimes and he never hears me because of that game. When I want to spend time in the bed room with him he would say let me just finish killing these 3 boses or something now he just says I'm not in the mood. On July 15th it made three years for us but he scheduled a raid or something and "couldn't get out of it" We're a supose to get married in October but why should we bother now WoW is clearly more important to him then me and his kids. I want my fiance back and my children want daddy back!

Re: World of Warcraft is taking over my relationship! I wish it would crash!
Sun, August 23, 2009 - 4:16 PMI'm ignored for several hours at a time due to this evil game. Whenever he HAS to be away from it, everything is perfect. Be every opportunity he has is spent on that game. He's stopped coming to see me and i think it's because it takes time out of his precious day of w0w playing. I find myself lying in his bed, waiting for him to finish stupid raids just for him to start another right after. I've told him I'm sick of it, but he just writes me off as being high maintenance and I'm really starting to get angry. I want to be happy. And to know that if it were between seeing me or playing. He'll always pick playing. It is a horrible feeling to be behind a game, I know.

Tue, August 25, 2009 - 3:35 AMSara,
In your case, your significant other is truly addicted. There is no person (male or female) I have ever known in-game that would choose raiding over their anniversary. I think it's time for a serious sit-down. I gave some decent advice to the woman in this thread: ihatewow.tribe.net/thread/f...2910fbc0e ... But I definitely think that you are beyond any sort of easygoing compromise.
As a hardcore WoW player, I absolutely believe that he has a serious problem. It's one thing to finish up a Heroic, it's another entirely to actively choose a game over your family or an important event such as your anniversary. I fully believe you are in every right to bring an end to this, sometimes there isn't the choice to set aside time to play. He is being incredibly insensitive and irresponsible, when you confront him, try not to be too accusatory. A lot of people tend to be very very defensive about their addictions, as I'm sure you know. Sit him down, ask him if he is aware that he chose to Raid over your anniversary, if anything you could even write out a draft of what you want to address (I know I'm always worried about not saying enough or saying too much so I tend to really think through all of my talks).
If he isn't supportive of you, you have my complete sympathy, and my absolute disappointment in him as a fellow gamer. I hope you update with more news of how this is progressing.
