Wife wants a divorce over WOW

Community General Discussion

Im sorry. But without both sides to the story and a understznding to the problems in full this is a incorrect response.

Your life is temporary, and ur advise is allow someone to control that short but precious amount of time u have on the planet on what u can and csnt do.

Never change yourself for someone else. Full stop.

A marriage is 2 ways yes.

But heres the fact, there are tons who will appreicate who u are and not what they want you to be.

If someone says “i love you, except X Y Z” that isnt unconditional love and that means its not going to work eventually she will attempt to cut a piece too far of who u are and u will break. If not dor this for something else.

And for those who say “gotta be addicted if ur playing at Work” ur ignoring the context he cant play when shes around full stop.

The brain will actively do what its “forbidden from” hence the joke of “dont press a red button” and how many would actually press it.

Theres only really 3 outcomes bere.

She has a general dislike to gaming and feels they are for childreb therefore doesnt want her husband on them.

Or

Hes ignoring her or family and spending too many hours and day with his head stuck to the screen.

Depending on which is true, will depend on the rights she has to be angry at his hobby.

I have a girlfriend and her child, (im not the biological father) and i can say WoW has never caused arguments. Ive had days where ive prolly been on it to much every now and then sure, but overall i work full time, i clean around the house. Do washing up after shes cooked, or do the cooking myself on weekends when im off.

And i cant say my gf has ever had a issue with it.

One must have their hobbies and lonetime. Its easy to sit here and ask a bunch of questions and judge.
Some people just grow apart, i recently witnessed that at work where a coworkers wife suddenly wanted a divorce and live like a teenager again. And they have 3 kids.

Judging by her stance towards your gaming hobby maybe divorce is the right thing to do.
I hope it works out for you. And if it happens, dragonflight will be a great therapy.

Dude wtf. Are you even thinking about playing wow before staying with the woman you love?
Quit the game and fix your life. A game is not worth it.
Play console or something instead but seriously get help with you wow addiction.
Im sorry but i think this is pathetic. Wake up for god sake and see what you are doing to your self.
You make me sick.

Samesies

I do have respect for trolls who are actually funny though. It can be refreshing and the answers are entertaining.

You cannot be serious. You dont save marriages, your focus should lie with people you care about. And your wife does not need saving she does not support your choice, she does not support you for who you chose to be.

It’s just an interesting hypothetical isn’t it? It must be happening somewhere…

Well, she’ll make you drop other things too, when you find next hobby she might not like it either, or that you want to go out with some friends.

If playing games makes you happy and she is throwing this much of a tantrum, just get a divorce, it isn’t working.

Yes, abandon every hobby to make her happy, while feeling miserable. I can tell what type of person she is, that expects him to do what she wants, and to find side work to earn extra. This is worst type of partner.

Surely she’s not this upset over “just WoW”.
There’s gotta be more to this than that. She must have some deep seated issues or worries regarding video games.
perhaps marriage councelling might help.

Edit: I note, don’t feel selfish for wanting to play WoW. You should take a stand, if she has issue with you playing a game, then what else will she have issue with? This needs to either be brought out in a marriage council, or ended.
You’re doing something absolutely harmless. It doesn’t sound like you’re devoting your entire life to WoW, you need a vice, she should be happy it’s not drugs.

Everything is good in moderation even World of Warcraft

If he reached the point of play the game on work, for some reason I feel that he is addicted to wow and his wife needed to do everything at home.
Who would risk his own job just for a videogame?

By his description I feel he is he the guy who reaches home and go play wow, while his wife do the cooking, clean house and all stuff.

95

Wow is not worth your wife. Quit the game for her imo

96

OP is a work of fiction

97

He explained in his last thread that he secretly play wow in work because he coudn’t in his home because of his wife. Anyway playing games at work is not a reasonable solution to this problem.

This thread is probably a bait, but if there were a situation in real life where she (or he) does not let her partner play at ANY time, the problem woudln’t be the OP, but the partner.

You can’t forbid your partner from doing their hobbies, as long as it’s a reasonable thing to do. But the OP says in other thread that his wife does not let him play at any time throughout the day, in any case, if the post was not a trolling, the fault would rather be his wife.

Yeah, I mean, there’s just not enough details here. Can’t really give spousal advice without both ends of the story.
Hence my suggestion that they see a marriage councillor. Asking random people on the forums isn’t exactly recommend. And letting everyone know about the negatives of your marriage isn’t very classy either.
It’s no surprise that she’s leaving him, he clearly has issues. I sincerely doubt it’s just over WoW.
More than likely, this guy is awful to be married to and this is just the straw that broke the camels back.

But again… she could be really controlling. We’ve been given VERY little detail here. And I think if this is true, the CM’s should lock this forum and ban the guy.

I mean, if your spouse is doing a hobbit behind your back, you can absolutely get mad at them for it. Open marriages should be agreed upon before the marriage starts.
And to be honest, the fact that they’re a hobbit is irrelevant, they still count as a whole person.

I wouldnt say as such.

The same thing can be applied to the big red button meme with regards to “dont press the red button”

Psychologically it makes the demand stronger outright telling people they cant do something, which means the situation could create a addiction in itself rather then one previously existing.

There are lots of reasons people can be against the use of video games however alot of them arent really reasonable.

As a example. My step mum banned my father from playing games because of the possibility of playing with women.

My ex didnt like me playing games for the same reason “i might get close to a girl and run off because she likes the same game as me”

Alot of people view video games as childish and a grown man shouldnt be still playing them i.e my current girlfriends mother is very against the fact my girlfriends absolutely fine with me playing games.

Now we lack information to know for sure also lack her side of the story. But not every explaination is because of him

If she cant accept you for who you are time to move on
