Girlfriend Issues

I see alot of job friends falling into WoW game. But probably they dont have girlfriends or boyfriends. If she is playing and doesnt want to be with you...you have to appeal to the heart, ask her if she loves anymore... or something like that.

PS: In other times I would be addicted to that type of games...

I've been with my GF for over 6 years now. About a year and a half ago she discovered this game called World of Warcraft. Suffice to say she spends alot of time on it and last year we had an arguement and just about broke up and she stopped playing it so much fora few weeks. Her basic routine is finish work at about 5 or 6 come home play WoW and go to bed around 12pm. If I don't cook something or bring something home from work she usually skips meals or eats snack type food.

I'm not even jealous of the computer as I'm not perfect (Xbox 360, Xbox live) but to me its geting excessive. I don't know if I want to be with her. I still care for her but I'm not really attarcted to her anymore. In a way I would rather be single or see other people. I don't know if I can even be bothered talking to her about it as I don't really see it changing and I'm not the ultimatum type of guy (me or WoW)

Life is great heh.

It's a little strange for the chick in a relationship to be into video games, but it's not unheard of. I used to date this girl who was into sports (I'm not). It had nothing to do with our breakup, however. Underneath that sports enthusiasm, she was still a chick, subject to the same whims and flights of fancy that chicks are subject to. So knowing what I know about women, here is an approach that you may find useful.

Tell her that WoW has made you lose interest in her completely, in both love and sex, and that if she wants to continue in the relationship, she has to give up WoW completely. If she is unwilling to do so, she should find another place of residence by May 1. Never mind the living arrangement you both have; say it like you own the place. Women are more motivated by threats to their beauty than by threats to their love, so if you call her ugly by any other name, she may be motivated to do something.

It is altogether possible that she has lost interest in you long ago and just plays WoW to pass the time. She may not be willing to leave so readily, because life is just too comfortable the way it is.
 
We broke up today. She played WoW for 12+ hours yesterday. Theres a few other issues as well. We used to play games togather (Halo, James Bond, Mario Cart) but now she only plays WoW. I still care for her but I'm not attracted to her now.
 
Sorry for your loss, maybe some day she'll get off the wagon and become "attractive" again. If not, I wish you luck into moving to greener pastures. Take comfort in knowing that not every girl is obsessed with WoW.
 
What did you say, if you don't mind me asking?

Sat down and talked. She cried, got angry and has gone out with her family.

Sorry it ended that way after a lot of years...

But cheers on doing what is ultimately the first and hardest step to moving on with your life as you want to live it.

I do as involves alot of personal information. Boredom and apathy seems to have screwed it up and I'm not blameless in this regard.
 
That's fine, just curious as to whether or not you used an ultimatum or not.

No. She said she could stop playing but it was to late by then (for me anyway). I don't believe in using ultimatums as I think they're a way for insecure people to eert control over someone else.

You have a girl that plays WoW?

This is a not a bad thing. Try and pick it up yourself, one more thing in common.

Note: Shylock has had only one real girlfriend and one fling that crumbled because she didn't want to wait for me to catch up. Both were about 14 years old at the time. My "advice" should be taken with heavy consideration if at all. Also note that the first one did play WoW and her parents are GMs.

I understand. I don't like ultimatums at all, but wanted to know if you had decided to use one.

Best of luck to you in your endeavors :)
 
Sucks doesn't it? But you gotta do what you gotta do
