I feel like such a bad gamer for thinking this, but I'm beginning to get the impression that Evan is addicted to WoW. It's becoming rather upsetting. He's been raiding all week, which is cool, but tonight I said "hey, can we just have some us time without the game" and he says "sure!" So we watch the last three eps of Pushing Daisies (it's over! *bawl*) and eat some pie to go along with it, and have a good time hanging out together but it's getting late and I mention going to bed and snugglin' up and he agrees but logs on "just for a sec" to see if his brother can make him something. Fair enough. But as soon as he logs in a guildie invites him to the group for the raid they're doing tonight. And he accepts. And is now raiding. And I'm kind of pissed. Generally I understand about this kind of stuff--I play, too after all. However, tonight was supposed to be "date night" with everything that involves and now I can barely keep my eyes open and he's gonna be at it for at least another few hours. And I know I could just say "Babe, I'd rather you not play right now" and he'd log off, but if that's what he'd rather be doing, then who am I to deny him what will make him happy?
It's just frustrating. I read him this silly questionair about whether or not you're addicted to online gaming and he answered 2/3 of the questions with a "yes" (though I answered about half of them that way, so I can't really talk). He's not so bad that it's interfering with his job or responsibilities, but it is getting a bit ridiculous.
Bah. I'm such a shitty girlfriend to get bothered by this. I'm going to bed.

You are not alone, girlfriend.
It's awesome that you're considering him too much, but it's a too way street. I don't think he'll fault you for explaining that you wanted that night to be just about you two, and he could raid any other night.. :(
obviously i am kidding. why the fuck do women do this to themselves? the answer is apparent. if it bothers you, get out while you can. don't do like i did and marry the person.
now i am stuck with somebody who everyone makes excuses for because he's a man and men should be allowed to do fun things like look at other vaginas, especially belonging to girls who are still in high school. not.
this logic is fucked. i am sorry, but we are both with losers, and you are no different than i am in worrying yourself to death about whether or not you are in a healthy relationship.
And he said "Sure! I didn't know that it was bothering you that much. How about I only raid Tues/Thurs/Sun?"
And I said "That sounds great. That gives me those days to get my homework and writing done, too."
And then there was happy make up sex.
And the problem was solved. Funny how communicating with one's partner about things that upset you works.
People are gonna be bugged by things the other person does in a relationship. That's just how they work. You're not gonna get a long all the time and you're not always gonna notice if something you're doing is bothering the other person. But if you don't open your mouth and say something, how are they going to know?
