My DF is constantly on the ps3!! He has it connecting online to the internet so he can play and talk to other people.. Get fed up of it sometimes as he gets stuck into it, you could be saying anything to him!

im guilty of playing wow myself (for the last 4 years) at one time it really took over my life and dh's ran our own guild and everything geeks that we are lol.(4 lvl 70's and counting
)i stopped playing when i was pg last year as i found it far to uncomfy to sit at the pc for long and as said not like its a game you can pause. went back for a bit after having dd but nowhere near as hardcore playing anymore.
dh does play but he is not hardcore anymore either and we make sure we spend a lot of time together and he always asks me if its ok if he does an instance/raid incase i need him. i dont mind him playing as i remember how much fun it was but as long as when he steps away from the game he steps away! and he is a bounty widow anyway as i am just as bad being on here a lot lol.
im actually considering starting another toon up and seeing how far i can get before baby decides to arrive 2wks 6 days till due date so sitting here clock watching at the moment so really need something to take my mind off things lol.
i have seen a lot of couples split up because of wow its scary how some people let it take over everything!.

God isnt it shamefull how many of us there are and thats just in dio lol
I have to say though i play it too but i can take it or leave it i play for fun and can log off and leave it for days or even weeks before i fancy playing again but my hubby plays it constantly and i mean all the time when he isnt at work. I dont really complain too much as he doesnt go out drinking etc and also he has always been good at helping me around the house, WOW has never been the be all and end all BUT......
Im worried now as the guild he is in has noticed how much he is on and how much he knows about the game they also know im due another baby in 5 weeks but did it stop them from asking him to be a high ranking officer and help out as the guild master is going on holiday plus they had a meeting last night on teamspeak and he is now raid leader for gruul i mean come on i know he is reliable and everything but i am now worried with him being the type not to say no or let anyone down this weekly raid will take over as gruul is a 25 man raid and if he cant make it it mean 24 other people loose out so he will put that first.
Good thing though is i am in the same guild and i wont hold my tongue if it gets to me too much hmmm sorry long post but kind of annoyed at them for asking plus i love my husband for being who he is but sometimes the being nice and not saying no thing gets to me.

Before I found out I was pregnant my oh had his own room where he could play his consoles, but now thats been changed to the babys room. He moved all his consoles downstairs to the living room (along with his tv) saying that this way he could spend more time with me! Not many living rooms have two tellys in the front room.......

yep same problem here. I sear he thinks it all happens by magic and when something doesn't go his way he moans. At the moment I'm finding it really difficult to do anything so he's moaning that the house is messy grrrr
4/9/08 16:53
lol i know he was in a guild once where the wife and husband both played and they had 4 kids and all you could hear was them on mic screaming at eachother to go get the baby or shouting at the kids i vowed never ever to be anything like that. OH thinks that the housekeeping fairy comes to help out im sure of it.
4/9/08 16:50
nah not the same as he says that he has 3 husband and wife in his guild but the one whose wife is preg has never played wow so that's another widow out there somewhere.
DH keeps getting me to play but who will look after the kids then
he doesn't realise that things need to be organised in the house washing needs doing, cleaning, cooking etc etc plus school runs.4/9/08 16:17
rofl it could well be my OH seeing as hes been so sure our LO is due on the 1st of oct since i was 9 weeks even tho its the 7th and now ive told him its not the 1st he cant remember the date he also plays a bloody pally i can see why hes adicted as i admit before i got pregnant i played wow as much as he did (shameful i know) but we both promised to quit and he secretly re opened he wow account behind my back cause he couldnt hack it. I just dont see why i have to be the adult and he can be a big child 24/7

i dnt mind the console games coz at least u can pause em. hes got resident evil on the wii n id quite happily let him play onm it all day BECASUE HE CAN PAUSE IT
but i think its unreasonable 2 play sumthin u can pause wen the kids r awake coz if sutmhin happenms hes liek "u deal with it" coz he cant pause it
omg hes only had it 4 feckin days n looks wot its already done
4/9/08 16:09
sao i get that too. in fact he's said it for every baby (well for the boys it was tribes 2 once wow was out t2 never got a look in anymore
) never changes. in fact once for dd i had expressed earlier so that i could make dinner all i wanted was for him to feed her but nope wow took over (she was about 2 months old) and he refused point blank. ds#1 actually ended up feeding her on the kitchen floor while i cooked and kept a very careful eye on him and her. needless to say i only made dinner for me and the boys i told him if he couldn't take the time out to feed her i couldn't take the time out to feed him. still hasn't changed.
in fact he's been chatting to someone in his guild he can't remember when their lo is due but thinks it's around the similar time wouldn't it be funny if they are in the same one pmsl and here we are b***ing about them rofl. dh plays with several characters
think his main one is rohilli but he's been playing with a pally (as he calls it) just lately.sam i know what you mean about pausing does my head in when they say after i've done this quest or when this has finished or let me get out of here first and half an hour later they're still in the same place grrrr

As soon as bf gets a new game thats it. I didn't mind grand theft auto as I quite enjoyed the plot and I'd doze as he played it. Its when he's really busy and I make dinner and then he says 'oh i'm not hungry' after all the rubbish he's eaten. Or makes a fuss about how tired he is etc.
My bf works on a website and when he's not working he spends all his time there and when I want to do something he say's, 'oh I need to fix this' when he's actually looking at the threads. My mum's told me to tell him to stop going on it now and spend time with me otherwise h'ell be like this after baby's born.

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr I hate those "14 day trial" lines ....... you just know it never ends that way. More like 14 blinking hours a day!
4/9/08 16:04

i told him 2 wait until baby is a bit older but noooo he wants sumthin 2 play wen hes up in the middle of the night withteh baby - wtf?!?!? im gna b breast feeding!!!! plus if he cant stop for 30secs 2 lift a heavy box of books wot makes him thin khe'd b able 2 look after anewborn whilst playing it?!?!?!
4/9/08 16:04
I gave my OH the "its me or wow" line and he called his mum packed up his PC and went home for 3 weeks.... ive decided never to try that one again lol
4/9/08 16:02
ok im not a WOW widow but star wars hava lot to answer for makin their own version of the bloody thing. esp as it still has hans solo, darl vader, luke etc in it
dh complains about me goin on bounty but at least i can pause bounty.... i asked dh 2 lift a box of books over the baby gate 2day 4me (30secs max!) so they didnt get ruined by ds and dd... instead he cant coz hes on the bloody game
4/9/08 16:02
Haha yeah my OH just walked in an read the post i left and has gone off in a huff to the computer claiming he hardly ever plays and hes only doing it to make up for when the baby is here...
4/9/08 16:01
I feel the need to join to plus hide in shame as my dp has in fact been involved in creating some of these games - i know ill knee him where it hurts from all of you when he gets home!
Im currently having to endure Grand Theft Auto on PS3 "appearing" the minute i leave the living room - even if its just for a wee!
Also i have actually in the past threatened to leave over WOW ........ bloody boys never grow up!

oh I soo hear you there. We have to plan a meal together and choose the right night because the bloody guild comes first
grrrrr. How many times do they need to kill the SAME boss in one week 4/9/08 15:57
Rofl wow widows can i join?
my OH has bin playing it since it 1st came out can't stand it when we make plans and he tells me to choose the best day for me and when i do i get the "oh but the guilds downing maggy then can it be another time" so bloody annoying
Hope you dont mind me gatecrashing (DIN) but i neeed this thread!!!! I had no idea there were others out there lol
My dp is guilty of spending around half his life on the game! I dont miond it so much now as i used to, gives me chance to watch my programmes in peace lol. I actually cant go to sleep if he comes to bed with me as i'm so used to him still being awake while i go to bed on my own hehe
I even once thought i'd give it a go, seew hat all the obsession was about.... The best thing was designing my sexy elf thing and buying her new clothes haha, after a day i got bored....
Its gonna come as quite a shock when LO arrives and he cant play as much anymore
