Title.
The revelation came after a big blow up. They thought I was cheating on them in my free time. After much teeth gnashing my secret was divulged. They took it surprisingly well.

A) Why is this a secret?
B) How have they not seen you playing this before now?

Were both career professionals.
Nobody knows I play with the exception of this person.
They keep sending me articles of wow addiction.

How are you enjoying being single again then?

I think the fact that you’ve kept this a secret, when it’s enough of a part of your life you felt you needed to keep it a secret (from everyone apparently), is a bad omen for the future.

But I wish you well.

I immediately told the s/o the moment we started dating. Then I got him a copy of the game not long after.

We’ve been married for almost 8 years and been together for 11.

Moral of the story: always be open about who you are and what you love. A relationship doesn’t survive anything less.

I’m Horde and my account was made with my husband’s guest pass from his physical copy of WoW! Better? :stuck_out_tongue:

Nothing I can’t do in-game without him, we’ve slain many dragons together. Could not imagine hiding anything from him.

lol @ hiding that you play a particular video game from anyone.

If people are gonna judge you or make fun of you for doing something you enjoy in your free time, that’s probably not the kind of people I would wanna be around anyways. That’s just me though.

WOW is a hobby, like any other. It’s usually classified under ‘video games’.

Most people that don’t play them also watch a lot of TV - that too is “addicting” - but the same can be said of anything that is done to excess. Be honest with everyone about the things that you enjoy, and everyone’ll be happy.

…I thought the joke was that they couldn’t be cheating because all their time would be devoted to wow

How in the living hell does playing a game equate to cheating on your SO?!

Like, how suspicious do you have to act for them to think that?

There are much more embarrassing things to hide from ones S/O.

And honestly, a relationship isn’t worth it if your S/O doesn’t accept that you play video games or WoW as a hobby. You should never have to change yourself to be accepted by others. If that was a requirement, I’d hate to tell you but they are not the one for you!

I am glad that they took it well and that hopefully you didn’t hold that secret from them for too long (starts to make a person question what other secrets they’ve been hiding, or the fact that they felt the need to hide anything in the first place)…

Believe me, there are some seriously insecure people out there. You don’t even have to act, look, smell suspicious for their insecurities to start gnawing away at them. My fiancee’ used to be like that until I threatened her that if she accused me of cheating one more time, I would actually cheat so that it was finally true…

I don’t believe you, how could you S/O accept you knowing you play video gomes?

Well, that’s over. Sorry.

If someone feels the need to change what you do as a hobby, that’s the least of what they will try to change.
