This might be my LAST expansion, wife threatening to leave 😰

[anon13030665]

So here we are, folks. It’s been a week since War Within dropped, and while many of you are out there battling for Azeroth, I’m fighting the ultimate endgame boss: my wife.

After my last post, where I shared my struggles about the impending divorce thought i’d give everyone an update.

**Link for those unaware: Wife wants a divorce over WOW

First off, I decided to give it one last shot. I mean, it’s called War Within, right? So, I figured, let’s get all introspective and philosophical, maybe try to patch things up. I set up a romantic dinner at home and cooked her favourite dish.

We talked for hours… well, she talked, and I listened while occasionally glancing at the corner of the room to the dungeon queue time. Apparently, “you can’t pause an MMO” isn’t a valid excuse. Who knew?

Then, she dropped the ultimate question, the one that had me staring down “Is this game more important than our marriage?”

I mean, I was tempted to explain the time investment, how RNG has been kinder to me than she ever was, but I decided against it. (Survival instincts kicked in.) Instead, I told her that nothing is more important to me than she is.

Moral of the story: If you’re facing an ultimate boss fight IRL, remember, you can’t just hit ‘Retry’—and there’s no respawn point after a divorce.

Wish me luck, lads. I’ll keep you updated… if I’m not living out of my mother’s basement by then.

TLDR: War Within isn’t just the expansion, it’s my life now.

If you’re letting a video game consume your life to the point it jeopardises your relationships the problem is with you…

Where would you place her out of 10?

Remarry her ingame.

Fun fact: singer Lana del Rey dated a guy who was addicted to wow, and it is said he was the inspiration behind the very popular song, Video Games.

She also has said that all the men in her life had been “consumed” by World of Warcraft and she absolutely hates the game because of it.

This! Pics of wife to further assess the situation.

Just divorce your wife wtf dude. Why would You need someone in your life who can’t share, or even try to undertand your hobby? She can’t apreciate you the way I do, Mark. Stop this nonsense marriage charade plese. Boys are waiting for You in WoW, dude. We need You.

[Inothealer-stitches]

Download DBM or something. That addons helps with all bosses, even ultimate endgame ones.

If you’re already having this conversation, it’s time to consult a lawyer or therapist. Your marriage might be over unless you can convincingly show her a valid reason to stay. If you’re uncertain about this, seek legal advice now to protect your interests, such as keeping the house and other assets.

If RNG seems to be treating you better than she is, it might be time to take a chance with real randomness and seek someone who truly deserves your time and effort.

Come back to her in a few expansions and solo stomp her with all those extra levels and new gear.

[Sausageroo-twisting-nether]

The correct answer is “bye then!”

[Ishayo-tarren-mill]

Really doesn’t have to be. Some people are just toxic when it comes to letting others have their hobbies. It’s perfectly possible that he’s playing, say, 8 hours of video games a week and she’s absolutely losing her mind over it, which in my opinion would put her in the wrong.

I just don’t know.

Assuming this isn’t satire, it looks like this guy loses all sense of control whenever an expansion comes out, then goes back to normal. I can understand the frustration, but that the same time she should already know that it’ll sort itself out in a week or two. It’s not that serious.

[Linaria-steamwheedle-cartel]

That was beautiful.

I think it’s time for you to reevaluate your life and leave her like she’s Ara-Kara, City of Echoes after the first boss is dead.

Came here while trying to buy an enchant for the last 24 minutes, gave me a good laugh ++

Also went to kiss my wife, missus is reading smut in the bedroom while I’m fighting bots at the AH at 10PM on sunday evening. What a life.

Did you seriously queue for a dungeon when you were going to talk with your wife about saving your marriage? Cmon man, no wonder she wants a divorse.

[Talanus-chamber-of-aspects]

I think the post is written tongue in cheek, but I’ve been there. My wife, kids and health are my priority, but before the kids and marriage, I was literally addicted to Call of Duty, Battlefield and WoW. My wife-to-be was not happy with it, but by some miracle I got myself sorted out, and made it through many expansions to TWW.

ive said this many times,

PvE is for people without a life

PvP is for those that have commitments IRL

in pvp you can choose to play when you want to, for as long as you want to
if you play pve, you have a schedule, a group of 20 people waiting on you, you have timers, daily’s, chores.

if you want both WoW and a marriage. play PvP and choose to play it couple hours a week.

[Ishayo-tarren-mill]

The only problem with this strategy is that you’ll probably not want to play PvP given the state of it.
