to hate WOW

SO, I married a Gamer and yes, I knew what he was before I married him.
And I suppose I should be grateful that I have had a couple of years (dd now 2) in which he didn't play the dreaded WOW. However, a recent accident has left him home, immobile and bored. So back onto WOW. It's only been a few days and already I feel like I need to join a group for the families of GAMING addicts, stand up and talk about how gaming is ruining my conversation skills and turning me into a hermit.

Anyone else married/patnered to a Gamer who understands how I feel. We could start a support group. Smile

pinky check out my thread in AIBU - you are not alone lol

PInky - can you get involved too? My DH was big in to wow so I started a character as well and hogged the computer so he could see how annoying it was but actually I really enjoyed it and now we play together :) Only a few hours a week though - no massive raids or anything.

Reminds me of the Freddy Starr joke about his father having a W tattooed on each buttock... When he bends over it spells WOW Grin

Oh, I've done one of these too.

Dh has been WoW free for nearly 8 months now Grin but it is a God Awful, time-consuming, marriage wrecking game.

I got him down to 4 days a week then to none. Best move ever.

Sigh, DH is 'raiding' as we speak.

And there was I thinking you were talking about Walk on Wednesday (the school initiative part of Fit for life, or is it a Sheffield thing?)

Grin Been a WOW widow before, I even did the cliched thing of trying to distract him with lingerie (suspenders etc) and got ignored.

With a much more sensible gamer now, who usually says I am the addicted one. Till the AoC expansion broke my game.
