Just told my s/o I play wow

[Sinrostro-frostmourne]

Showed them my raider io link and character page.

Jeesh, I didn’t know you now needed a high IO score to be eligable for a relationship!

[Illmode-blackrock]

haha.
Yeah they wanted to make sure I also knew the affixes for the week.

Hiding and sneaking WoW… spend so little time together that they dont know you play and jump to cheating as to your absence. You might want to accept the fact that you have an insignificant other…not a significant other.

My wife and I have been playing computer games since the spring of 1982.

I have a network at home, we each have our own computer. We sit next to each other, I play WoW and other games, she plays the Sims (and nothing else).

We’re both retired. It helps to have a hobby you’re both interested in. That’s what I told a friend recently who is getting close to retirement. He asked what we did together. I told him that doing something together helps the marriage, without that, there’s no idea where you’re going to end.

Good luck.

My wife was fine with my gaming early on in our relationship and marriage. After we had kids there is more work to go around and now she gets mad if she sees me playing. We both have careers that are fairly demanding.

She watches TV more hours per week than I play WOW, probably double, and basically demands that I watch TV with her daily.

I guarantee that I do all yard work, 75% of dishes and laundry, all extra cleaning that can’t wait for our weekly maid service, 100% of cleaning up after our dogs. Most doctor appointments for kids. She handles school homework and school related things.

I handle all finances and paying bills and things like that. She admits that I spend more time parenting than any other husband she knows, but I still can’t play wow without harrassment.

So I play in the morning Saturday and Sunday before she gets up, as she likes to sleep in on the weekend. I suggest for her to go to a movie with a friend or go get a 90 minute massage, just so I can have some WOW time. Yes, I’ll pay $150 for her 90 minute massages in order to play WOW sometimes. Or I take a few hours off work and get home early to play.

It’s annoying, but I work it in, and she has accused me of having an affair a few times when I was just playing wow, but I always answer the phone when she calls, so that isn’t a common thing.

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?

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

How do ppl not know this??? lol Unless you’re not in the states and don’t have a full understanding of our screwed up English language, then I retract my shock…but otherwise, it’s kinda Language Arts/English 101.

I figured it was only used when you are trying to hide the gender of who you are talking about, otherwise they and them are mostly used when referring to more than one person.

I (singular) am
you (singular) are
he (singular) is
she (singular) is
it (singular) is

we (more than one) are
you (more than one of you) are
they (more than one) are

“they is” just doesn’t sound right …

[Shadowfist-agamaggan (Shadowfist)]

They took it surprisingly well.

They’re cheating on you.

Not necessarily, it’s pretty regularly used in the context of singular outside of just hiding somebody’s sex. It can be substituted for the proper singular personal pronouns in a wide variety of situations

Examples:

“You should go notify the customer that their car is going to take a bit longer than expected to fix so they might want to go do something else in the meantime”

“Somebody lost their sunglasses”

Person A: “Have you met Brodie?”

Person B: “Yeah, they’re insane”

But it is most correctly used when either concealing somebody’s sex or in situations where the person’s sex is unknown, presumably because referring to your fellow humans as “it” just doesn’t sit right with most

“they is” just doesn’t sound right …

Neither does “you is”

Interestingly “you” also happens to be both singular and plural, much like “they” and its variants are used both as singular and plural

Dude, no offense but you need to grow a pair and tell her that you need some time to yourself. If you are doing most of the things, tell her you need a break from it at least for an hour.

[Mute-silvermoon]

Woo Sims! high-five! I paid a couple hundred bucks for the Sims 2 back when it came out (all stuff packs and everything) and still play it!

One hour? What is he gonna do in an hour? Lose two bgs?

Firstly it’s a starting point you renegotiate later, second he said he was busy with a demanding career and being a parent.

[Seraca-stormrage (Seraca)]

Will you have to do the rep grind with them again?

[Krookd-amanthul]

I just spent 62k on getting a new boat built without consulting my wife and that’s before fit out.
You should be ok, me on the other hand I’m not too sure…

[Meroni-moon-guard]

No reason to keep it secret. My wife says she’d rather I play games than go out and spend hundreds of dollars getting hammered with the boys.
