I too am a 'Warcraft Widow', my OH used to spend all night up in the computer room on Warcraft but then he got a laptop so he could 'spend more time with me'.......Now he just sits on the other side of the room with his laptop on his knee, headphones in ears, clicking away. I'm not sure what was Worse. I think, if he had his way, LO would have its own guild (ii think thats what they call em) as soon as its born..............over my dead body!

We've come to an agreement where he can play it as much as he wants during the week (i can watch my soaps) but not at all at weekends. It seems to work that way.

I think you just need to agree on when you have some 'us time' and when his stupid games need to be put away!

If you can't beat 'em, join 'em!? Have you ever tried playing WoW? I actually like it. Not nearly to the extent that he does, but we play together sometimes which give us a little more together time!

It sounds like his schedule is pretty nuts, and that's what he likes to do when he has 'downtime'...but you need to be included in his plans. I don't think telling him he can't play will get you too far, so ask him to compromise with you.

I am a world of warcraft widow too!! It drives me crazy sometimes - he does nothing around the house and expects me to do it all! I wouldnt even mind so much if there was appreciation and i wasnt taken for granted!
