I can't stand the game. My husband is hooked on it. He wastes all his free time playing. Anyone else have this problem? I told him today that I bet computer games have brokern up many a marriage or relationship. He doubted it. I think so!

OH MY GOODNESS we are in the same boat, that game has my husband in a trance. All his free time is spent on this stupid game. One morning I woke up and he had been playing the game from the previous evening so I told him to get off the computer and he told me no were about to go over the hill to kill a bear and I got so mad and snatched the cords out the wall. This grown man started fussing like a child. I couldn't believe it.

I have the same issue my dear so I send my sympathy out to you. I tried playing warcraft because thats all my husband would talk about and I wanted to have a common ground but it just made things worse. The game does not end however and he told me he would not play as much when he got to lvl 60 but continued and it got even worse. Sometimes I want to throw the computer out of the window! He eats at the computer and if he is not sleeping or working he is playing. I hope for you things have not gotten that bad yet. Please don't make the same mistake I did and think it will calm down. Warcraft is ruining my marriage. I really hope you can succeed where I have failed... let him know asap that it bothers you and let him know what you will do if he ends up living on wow. Good luck.

Possibly. Just go with it. I know what I speak of. My bf is into that sort of thing, and it just makes the situation worse when you go against the grain, although set limits. We have an understanding that there is no video gaming on holidays, birthdays, that sort of thing.
How would you react if your husband told you that you couldn't participate in any of your activities that you enjoyed, because he didn't like them. Think of it this way he could be wasting all his free time and money playing with another woman.
My suggestion, take up a hobby or join in. Never know. You may begin to like it.
Also, lots of money can be made from World of Warcraft if done right.

it is true, in fact not only have video games broken up marraiges/relationships but have also killed people and been the cause of many colledge dropouts. my boyfriend knows someone who lost his girlfriend and dropped out of school because of his Everquest addiction. people can even lose their jobs over it. i recently read an article in a newspaper about many people in Korea who habe died from exhuastion/dehydration due to 3 day long gaming marathons with no breaks for eating, drinking or sleeping. even one couple who went to an internet cafe to play a bit of world of warcraft and ended up staying for 2 days, when they went home they found their baby dead because they left it alone the whole time.
with that being said i will admit that i play the game more than i should and spend most of my free time playing it. but it doesn't ruin my relationship because my boyfriend and i have side my side computers and we play together. i know other people who aren't lucky enough to have a BF/GF who enjoys playing the game aswell and the game has caused problems for them but a lot of the girls will stick it out even though ttheir guy spends all his time playing the game and only visits with them during long flight times, server restarts, que waits, etc. and to tell you the truth if i didn't enjoy playing the game as much as i do, if i only just sat around a watched or waited for my boyfriend to stop playing and spend time with me i probably wouldn't put up with it.
and no the game never really finishes there's always stuff to do on it, especially now that the expansion pack is comming out in a week.

World of Warcraft (WoW) has something that few other games can boast of... an embedded online community that is almost always there ready to interact with you.
It features the ability to never actually finish because there is a whole world to explore and you seriously will never get to it all.
I played for over a year, I have 2 level 60 characters ( a human Rogue and a human Warrior).
What got me off you ask?
My wife in a negligee.......... (but not for good)
Coming overseas where I don't have a good internet connection.

I understand how you feel...my husband used to play computer games, including this one, for hours after work, leaving only a small amount of time for "us" time.
Eventually, we got another computer, and I joined him. Since then, we have both stopped playing WoW. He still plays other games occasionally, but he no longer goes overboard with them--and to be honest, I miss playing World of Warcraft more than he does!

He will eventually bored of it. Althought it may take up to a few years.. Try giving him some space for now. DO your thing go out , have fun. Once he kepts asking where you going tell him . out to have fun with friends since youre too busy playing your game to take me out.. see where that leads to..

Yes, especially if he's giving it more attention than to you, most deffinatly it can cause a divorce. And he's so caught up in what he wants that he doesn't believe that you could divorce him over it. He's technically abandoning you for a video game.

chatting almost ruined my marriage. playstation 2 almost did it too. i was addicted to chatting and games. i have since quit all that but the video game can break up your marriage. get rid of the game and good luck.

My husband played this a lot with his roommates before we got married. He's kind of over it now, but I am sure you're right!
