hi,im new here,love reading all the topics and have got loads of advice when i was pregnant so thanks everyone. im a mother to a 12 yr old boy and 5 month old boy,my husband and i have problems (who doesnt) i could bore you with them for hours but for the past few months he has been addicted to this game and im struggling to cope. he is on it whenever he has the chance,and i end up goin to bed around 9.30 as i get up every day and night with our son. he sits up till 3 or 4 in the morning and so is done in and struggles to get up for work.he has reduced his hours to part time but is so late all the time that he is going to get sacked.i have tried talking,shouting,nagging,crying,being the perfect wee wife but im not getting anywhere. he doesnt see the harm,even tho he is losing his family. advice (or miracles) anyone please???

Glad if it helped you at all, Divastrop, and I'm very pleased you've come to a fair arrangement

I suppose in theory it's better the OP's H is fixated on WoW rather than visiting attractive female neighbours for "chats" or messages from various wanton women - at least you can't get an STI from computer games. Anything that enables him to neglect all his responsibilities is bad though.

hey everyone,thanks for all your input,and advice etc. ive had enough now. he stayed off fri night and we had a bit of a laugh,i tried not to be resentfull and get on and we did so that was nice. i went out y,day for 5 hours in afternoon and we agreed he could play the game while i was out as took the wee man with me. i got in last night and after hour and half asked if he would come off (he had been playing for 6 hours at this point,we had agreed 4). he said soon, but the wee man went to bed as he vame off so he didnt spend any time with him at all last night. my son wanted to do an album of pics etc of the wee man but dh said no,he wanted to play his game again,its his comp etc,(its family comp) so i took 2 night nurse and went to bed (grinding teeth thru stress so constant headache and not sleeping great). he had agreed to get up with wee man this morning,but lo andd behold he couldnt!! too fkn tired!! we had argument at 6.30 ths morn when i ended up calling him a pathetic excuse for a man (wrong but i was tired and groggy from NN). he said he didnt want to marry me in 1st place,i took the quilt into living room as heating wasnt on (and i wanted to P him off) so he threatened to take my older sons off him to "get me back". what a tube so thats me i think ladies,cant tak this anymore,its a joke. i obv mean nothing to him and game coming before his son now as well.am going to ask him to leave today for my sanity!!! x

So sorry to hear this weebam. It sounds like you have really tried. I know that if my DH refused to get up with our son cos he had been playing I would probably give him a lovely jug of ice-cold water as a wake-up call...

TBH, it really does sound like he is a waste of space at the moment. It is perfectly possible, in my experience, to play and enjoy this game in moderation. If he is not capable of that, he is clearly an idiot. It sounds like you deserve way, way better than him. Tell him to feck off and play elsewhere.
