I’d say break up with them or find their one guilty pleasure and send them a bunch of things to stop doing said act.

Shoot part of my dating profile on dating apps includes that I play WoW, D&D, and watch anime religiously. Not gonna keep who I am secret. If they have a problem with my hobbies, They probably aren’t the one for me.

I told my at the time GF (now wife) I played wow within the first month of dating. Within 6 months she had her own characters on my account. Within a month after that, she had her own account. We raid, level, gank and PvP together all the time.

I’d worry about why you thought you had to hide it in the first place. My SO and I were both gamers long before WoW. He played first, I resisted because PC gaming was unfamiliar (I was mainly a console gamer) He talked me into a trial account and the rest is history. Moral of the story. Find someone who accepts your hobbies.

They and them?

How many SO’s do you have? Are you running the brothels in Black Temple?

A very odd thing to keep secret.

Now you’re going to be hounded…

“Oh, so you don’t have time anymore? Need to go serve your Banshee Queen?”

“They” and “them” can be used colloquially as singular gender-neutral personal pronouns, and have been for generations

I’m sure it was just a joke, but the inner writing demon of mine couldn’t just let it rest :woman_shrugging:

I think you should have been honest at the beginning.

My S/O suspected i played WoW, but i lied and told her i was cheating in my free time.
Fortunately she believed me, but i don’t know how long i can keep up this story.

As to keeping it a secret, I don’t want to know the reasons. I have a vivid enough imagination as it is. What I DO want to know is … just how many “S/O” do you have? “They” indicates more than one. He/she/it is singular. So, how many do you have? where do you keep them stashed? and how are you getting away with it?

That sounds wildly unhealthy, but you do you.

Good for you?

If you are dating the kind of person that you have to keep your geek addictions secret from, you should probably shop for a new S/O.

Honestly there are relationships built around a considerable amount of distance – the idea of doing everything together and having all of the same friends is a relatively new idea.

If someone wants you to change your hobbies, I’d say that’s a sign of an unhealthy and immature relationship. Personally, I’d bail on it while you can, but you do you, OP.
