World of Warcraft.. anyone play?

See, I think if a video game "ruins" a relationship, there were other problems to begin with. Of course I don't know everyone's stories but I just really think a lot of people are so quick to jump to placing blame on a video game when really the person, or persons, are to blame.

And that may be completely true, but my last ex it was because of the game that I broke up with him. Too many times he missed dinner with me because he was too busy playing, or didn't realize I had even left until a couple hours later...it finally came to the game -- or me. And guess what he chose, lol. I'm sure if I was more into video games it would have been different.

Yeah see but sometimes I also think, if video games are so much a part of someone's life, why can't SO's at least try to get into it too? I mean, in your situation, that's a bit extreme but so many GFs are so quick to blame a video game. I don't think it would hurt if they would at least try to maybe get into it with their SO. I'd hated playing video games -- didn't mind watching others play, but was never really into it myself -- until hubby sat down one day and made a toon for me and told me I had to play it while he was at work. Mainly because I just quit my job and had nothing to do all day and he was afraid I'd be bored.

Now he regrets it... because I was always on, he couldn't play. So eventually we got another account so we can play together lol.

But I also realize that, for some people, this game consumes their entire life to the point where they don't know where to draw the line between fantasy and reality. I can stop playing at any time; if HJ says he wants to spend more time with me, I don't even think about logging on. But, unfortunately, not everyone is like that
