im a mother of three.  i stay at home at take care of my children while my husband works a full-time job.  Im annoyed that i missed this show, i was out of town that day and hope that it plays again so that i can see it!!!

my husband started the game world of warcraft last september.  he is still playing.  i am alone.  we have no adult conversation, we have nothing to talk about honestly.  he doesnt see why i get so upset. well heres why and then you can tell me if im as wrong as he says i am.

on the weekends my husband will sleep till noon, 1pm.  he will then get up and slump around for alittle bit then slowly work his way to the computer, almost like the slower he goes theres a chance i wont see him get there.  then hes on the game wow. on until whenever, 3am maybe, maybe only midnight or 11pm, maybe only till 9pm.  its like that all weekend.  his excuse for not doing anything with us on the weekends is there isnt any money and hes tired.  through the week, he will come home take a shower most of the time not take a shower and then get on the game.  he will sit there till 9-10pm then get off to go to bed for work the next day.  if he does happen to be off the game and on the couch he is sleeping.  he will sleep anywhere from 5-6 and on till work the next morning.  he only plays with his kids if i throw a huge fit.  he doesnt see anything wrong with showing our 4 soon to be 5 year old how to play wow.  i do.  my oldest son which is the one soon to be 5 is showing signs of depression.  he wants his father to be involved with his life, but its not happening, it really matters to him what his fathers says and thinks of him.  preschool they are working on pronounciation, and my husband picks on him about the way he talks now.  he doesnt know his children enough to be left alone with them for exstended periods of time, but yet gets mad that i dont leave them with him, he wont watch them.  my youngest boy i have caught in the middle of the  road because his father was to busy playing the game to pay attention to him while i was busy cleaning my truck out.  its my fault that he was in the road. much like its my fault that he sleeps in till 1pm on the weekends.  he gave his kids dinner one night and then continued to play his wow, our oldest doesnt like meatballs and was getting rid of them his own way, which involved throwing them on the floor.  my husband grabs him and takes him to the floor.  convientently he rememebers none of these times.

he thinks that i am done, and knows that i am not happy.  when he feels threatened he shows interest, when he doesnt feel that way, he doesnt bother.  he would just rather have me sitting at home on my butt with the kids everyday, than feeling like a human and doing things.  i may be a mother, but i am a women that wants to be wanted, that wants to have someone want to spend time with me.  i want to have fun and be happy.

he has lied about getting another game card to continue to play, as well as lied about how he activated it and that he had a free month.  i know that when he buys the new xpansion, our life will be over.  i have begun the countdown. 

there may not b a problem playing these games, but there is a problem when you neglect your family that you had no problem creating to play the game.

i hate my life as the gamers wife.
