Would you divorce your spouse over World of Warcraft?
Question by pennylanegal: Would you divorce your spouse over World of Warcraft?
On days my husband doesnt work he plays WOW from 6:00am-1:00am the next morning. On days he does work he gets on the game from the time he walks through the door until he goes to bed. I am sick of raising our 4.5 year old son by myself while he indulges in his selfish fantasy. I would like to have a real man who interacts and helps me raise my son. Should I file for a divorce? Is there any saving our almost 6 year marriage?

Instead of divorcing him, it seems like a much more sensible and practical solution would be simply to ask him for what you want when you want it. When you need him, tell him. The way you write this, you make it sound like you aren’t even telling him what you need from him, just standing by passively while he does whatever he wants. This seems to me to be a problem that nothing more than a little assertiveness on your part could solve.

it’s hardly grounds for divorce. why not throw out the game and uninstall it from the computer? sounds like he has an addiction.
The best thing to do is to talk to him about it.. He probably doesn’t realise that it’s a problem for you because he’s so engrossed!
Perhaps it’s not just about the game playing? Perhaps there other things that are getting on your nerves and this is just the straw that broke the camel’s back?
You should try and talk to him as calmly and nicely as possible so he doesn’t feel under attack. Try and talk sooner rather than later because you’ll just get really angry otherwise and it will become even bigger than it is already.
Try not to think of divorce especially as you have a child together, and you did love him enough to marry him! Unfortunately you’re getting to the hard part of marriage, but with a little communication and lots of patience you’ll be fine!
Best of luck x
I have heard about many marriages ending up in divorce over that game…I have no idea what it is but i seen it in the store shopping for games with my nephew. I picked it up and said you will never get this and i don’t know what it is LOL
I would sit down with your husband and let him know you have had enough, let him have sometime to play but he needs to spend time with you and your kiddo. He does need some him time but what your saying he is doing is just wrong.
are u sure when u divorce and find that magical superman u won’t bore him to death like this one? so he will start playing games or watching porn or constructing a car, anything just to get out of boredom? u may divorce him, but will it help you?
I *might* divorce my spouse in such a case but not before attempting to fix the problem. Cutting him off cold turkey (throwing the computer away and canceling the internet account) won’t fix the problem and will just make him resentful. Why? Because likely there is a reason he is “losing” himself in a game. He might feel unhappy in his marriage (a controlling / nagging wife who never shows him any appreciation for the things he has done), maybe he hates his job etc.
Maybe it is true that he simply got “addicted” to the game (nothing else wrong with his life beyond the addiction) but IMO he got addicted because something drove him to it and instead of handling it he decided to use the game as a crutch.
lmao no my husband plays that game and i want to get rid of the internet and his game.
