Gner Dechast Flashman Services	Posted - 2008.01.11 10:56:00 - [1] Originally by: Draconius Krynar Edited by: Draconius Krynar on 09/01/2008 09:27:22 I don't particularly care about the flames on this one. Yesterday, my girlfriend of 4 years decided to dump me because of (amongst other tiny insignificant things), my obsession with this game. She seems to think that playing this game while i'm at my house (and not hers) is detrimental to our relationship. Regardless of the fact that I also work full time for very little money so the world of Eve is a welcome release.. I feel I must point out at this point that she's a WOW obssessed freak and she has no qualms about playing her game when we're supposed to be spending 'quality' time together. So yeah, she dumped me. Everything was fine a week ago. We were looking at flats together. She asked me to move back in with her (and her parents) again. Then she met this guy in WOW, hit it off with him, invited him to stay with her and the rest is history... all within the space of 5 days My condolances... However inappropriate it may be for me to say this... in general, you are better off her leaving. I know from a personal experience, that it sure the hell doesn't feel like it after it happens (thank's a million, mother nature and retarted brain chemistry!), but if she finds herself (as the more sensitive gender to feelings) capable of doing that just like that, imagine she doing that much later, say when you have common house or even kids. (odds are you think I'm an ass and aren't reading at this point anymore) I can attest to the fact, as well as ALL my friends, that it's an universal female trait to consider all your personal time something that's "away from common quality time" but all her activities are her personal time and heaven forbid you ever questioning that. It's not even funny how large of a percentage act like that I chose myself not to accept that after the 5th "me or the game" ultimatum was given to me, and I told my ex to pack up and go. I haven't regretted a second. There are alternative solutions, ofcourse. Some of my still coupled friends have opted to sneer their girl into online gaming as well, but in experience, it will have to be the same game, I warn you... (two instances of them finding something more exciting from another game, where they supposedly can fool around "unseen", have happened. Both of them tried to get back thou, first after just 4 months and the second after little over a year) Then there's giving in, and cutting back dramatically the playing (or usually quitting completely). Some guys adapt and seem to live on, while few have become bitter and resentful over the unjust conditions they feel have placed on them. Most recent "event" on this matter was from this Christmas. A friend of mine, Mike, was told by his wife, that she'd get a divorce unless he would stop playing. So Mike shut his game early December and when we saw him again he told that while his wife was first happy (victorious), she was less than satisfied when Mike ended up spending his Christmas mostly in various states of drunkenness. I can relate to Mike, there is absolutely nothing to do over Christmas, althou alcoholics might not be my first alternative... I don't know who or what to blame in today's society... But for some reason, women in general are utterly incapable of understanding that men are not commodities or pets. We equally have and need some of our own time, and just like we don't nag and whine about their comings and goings or hobbies, why do they feel they have the right to do so? Why is my 2 hours at the PC a "threat" to the relationship, and how on earth would it be better if I am forced to sit idle with her beside the TV that is putting forth filth that is also known as soap operas. She maybe marginally more happy, getting her way, but I will be annoyed, frustrated and grumpy, giving her no positive attention in the process... Anyway, I wish you speedy recovery from your adversities. -- CCP Aplogized for the boot.ini incident, but has yet to apologize for Trinity Expansion (premature release with unacceptable number and kind of bugs)
