my guy was the same way, but it wore off after a while, thank god. i was ready to toss the computer into the trash. in the meantime, get a toy to keep you company ( a really obnoxiously loud one that he can't ignore, lol) or find a sexy night elf outfit and invite him to play the game your way.

From a guy who does alot of gaming and is married I would suggest not to just get rid of the game or to make him choose between it and you. Sit down talk to him tell him that the elves in his game are getting more action then you. Then offer suggestions that don't make him feel like he's attacked set nights of the week that are couple/family nights and the computer will stay off. Also a good idea is to invest in a good gaming system. Why? Because there aren't many two player games on the PC. The Wii is a good idea for two player games. This way something that is comming between you can become something you can do together.

I have been there. The sad part was I bought the game for me. Well I played, he played, he played other games, he spent a lot of time with his games. One day I had enough and told him how I felt. I told him I wanted to spend time with him, I told him I didn't like sleeping alone all the time (it seemed that way), I told him that he was paying more attention to his games than anything or anyone else. So he listened, we talked it worked out. Sometimes men just want to get away from things, want a break from reality, want to just veg out. Well at least he was at home, he wasn't drinking or doing drugs. I would just point it out when he was getting carried away with his gaming. I also started making him spend time helping me with games I wanted to start playing.
Just communicate with him how you feel. He probably doesn't realize how much time he is really spending on it. Don't try to take away his fun, he is at home. Communication!!!!!!! He doesn't know if you don't say anything.

I have personally seen a relationship break up over that darn game. My best friends boyfriend of 20 years played day and night. She left him over his lack of attention to her. Explain to him how you feel. Give him an ultimatum. Leave it at that. If he cannot stop the game, then leave. I will have to say that after 6 months and no more WOW, my best friend and her boyfriend are back together and better than ever. These guys need to realize just how much time they are spending on it and how much they are disrespecting their families. I wish you much luck. ☺

I had the same exact problem with my husband, it wasnt just WOW it was ALL video games. I tried talking to him about it, I tried yelling about it. So after alot of nights alone, and no one to talk to I left him, part of me was hoping that he would straighten up and grow up, but he didnt. Now its to the point I dont want my 3 year old son over there with him alone cause he ignores him and plays that dumb game all the time. Its totally something you have to decide. But from my experience things dont change. Good luck to you

you need to talk to him, in very simple small sentences. As a finance to a gamer, I completely understand. I will tell my boy at 5 that he has 2,3 or 4 hours depending on how much i need to do, or if i have a new book. And tell him that at said time i expect him to join me. Its phrased nicer but the point is the same. he will agree , its hours ahead, ( he wont realize how quickly time will fly for him) at the time i come and tell him, cuddle time and i expect my hours. it works, because you already have his promise to go. We have been together 4 years, and it works nicely. every other weekend for so let him have a Saturday to completely play the crap out of his game , while you do something more fun like shopping. good luck

My now ex fiance was on one of those computer medieveal role playing games all the time. I still find it so childish and felt he was incredibly addicted to a fantasy and forgot about his real life. You need to put a stop to that.
