You must be a really bad girlfriend then. I'm sure you have your things you enjoy doing that take up a lot of time too. If you loved him, you would respect him playing the game. Although it was asshole-like of him to say it made him happier, but you both will get over it.

I used to play Wow, for well over a year, and yes it is addicting as hell. I quit when I felt it was taking up too much time in my daily schedule. Some people can play it casually, kudos to them, don't know how they do it.

wah wah wahhhhhh

let him play, everyone has hobbies.

I agree with # 4 and # 17. Ultimatums are dumb. Let him have his hobbies. Not to generalize, but most guys I know are obsessed with videogames. You have to deal with it. That, and you so clearly need your own hobby. You probably don't give him any space when he's trying to play his goddamn game... sheesh!

I've been addicted to a computer game before. I sucked. I put off things, ignored people, blew off deadlines, and traded real goals for the opportunity to level, etc. Those aren't exactly the kind of characteristics needed to participate in a stable, loving relationship. I don't really think ultimatums belong in stable, loving relationships either, though. He could work on cutting his play time down some while you two work on ways to make him happier. If he's dedicating all his life to a game, he obviously isn't content with reality.

unless he's literally addicted (meaning he can't function in anything else, not that u think he plays too much) ydi

Girls, why don't you get that giving your boyfriends ultimatums or otherwise trying to blackmail them always end up the way you don't want it to end up? It's a simple rule.

what the hell is wrong with people? sheesh. i read these stories a lot, and i wonder what level of DORK do you have to be to pick a f'n video game over the love of a woman. friggin nerds need to get a life...

Wow has a spell over people we gotta those baste&@s
