Thanks I need all the luck I can get. BTW he usually plays from 10pm to about 5 or 6 am solid. Then when he wakes up (around 2 or 3) he will be on and off all day, between his gaming computer and my computer (the internet computer)

God no! My man is into the same dumb game. Everyone is entitled to a hobby, but ignoring their relationship and other priorities for their hobby is when it becomes a problem. I told him play your game, but spend time with me, agree to do things with me and we will be fine. He compromised a little and I'm much happier.
Us girls should start a support group. That is the dumbest game ever created and it causes so many problems in relationships. Who was the idiot who created it!!!. If he really loves you and values you and your relationship, he should be respectful enough to limit his playing time. If not then really think about starting a support group for neglected women of warcraft. :)

Why do you think he play?
We usually look at the symptoms as it is the illness, but it is not.
I believe this is a reflex of his unhappiness, so he gets himself closed in a "new" world where the problems aren't real, this is the time he runs from the real life, the real problems, the deceptions.
I can't tell you what are the problems, but I know that they exist.
You have kids, so you know, sometimes, when you don't want them to do something you have to pretend you don't care, give them incentive. By doing that you invade their space, because one of the ideas is that this is something of their own.
I know is hard, but try to put yourself apart from this problem. Ask him about his performance, try to show some interest on his things, become a accomplice, be a partner and may be, just maybe he may feel compelled to change his behavior.

You're not being a nag...I would rather be spending time banging my wife then playing some stupid @ss nerdy ******* game like World of Warcraft. I hate ******* that play that game, I can't believe you married one.
I won't even lie, alot of married women I sleep with are pissed off and lonely cause they're husbands are always online playing the stupid game. Or Everquest.

i became engaged to a guy like this. We were living together, and that i under no circumstances observed him. even as i had to be intimate with him, i'd get the excuse that the game wasn't pausable, and that i'd ought to attend. So i'd bypass to mattress round 1am, and he'd are available in some hours later, and choose intimacy when I had already lengthy gone to sleep!! We were given into fights over this sport. between the reason why we broke up became because of WoW. for sure, after some months i wanted him decrease back (for some stupid reason), so i desirous to position down my hate for the game and play an ordeal version. i quite were given into the game, and ended up paying for the completed version, and 15 months later, i'm nevertheless taking area in. he isn't any longer. it is humorous how that works. yet now, i'm in a distinct relationship, making waiting to flow in with my boyfriend, and he doesn't play WoW, yet I do. i understand limits. i am going to play even as he's at artwork, and thoroughly get off the game even as he's living house. i do not even contact the game even as he's living house. i understand the damage that became finished in my very last relationship. you pick to sit down down and search for suggestion from from him, tell him that you pick him to have his interesting, yet that it truly is utilising you up the wall. a lack of communication besides as co operation is the downfall of quite some relationships. the undeniable reality that you're married, and performance toddlers makes this better complicated. Remind him that he's an adult, and that it ought to't all be interesting and video games.

No. If he is more interested in playing the game than to be with his wife and children he has some type of problem. I think you should try to talk to him to find out what the propblem is, and if he is unwilling to talk, or says that there is nothing wrong, you might want to rethink the marraige. He actually has an adiction, and an unhealthy one at that.

Go in the room where he plays the game (Naked) first make sure you shaved it all nice and pretty to look at!
Say which do you like more of! That game or this game and then point down to the (V).
He will get the instant message. You want him to visualize, what he's could be missing.

No, you have every right to expect some 'couple time.'
However, try and understand that it is very easy for men to get carried away and lose track of time when they begin playing video games. Ask him if he could please limit his time to perhaps an hour a day...and if worse comes to worse, ask him how the game is played and try joining him in a game occasionally.
