    Your story is a lot like mine. I'm a normal girl, I'm attractive, I'm healthy, I have an education, an awesome family, a few really good friends. There isn't much to be unhappy about. But I spend hours upon hours every day playing WoW. I have an 85 rogue, warlock and warrior. Soon to be 85 priest. I'm obsessed.

    I've been playing for 4 years, and have barely kept a job in those 4 years. I make money online through sites like IMVU and SecondLife. But they don't cover rent. Thus, I'm still with a boyfriend who has cheated on me and abuses me both verbally and physically. Why? Because he puts up with my addiction, so I put up with his bullshit. I'm ashamed of it honestly. But I can't see my life any other way.

    I also have a huge crush on a guy I met through the game. We play together every day. We get each other in game gifts all the time. We talk on vent for hours. He's nothing special, honestly. If we met irl I don't think it would work out in the end. But in game we just click so well.



    Belfy, I feel for you. The guy you're talking about sounds like a total douchebag. I know what its like when you feel the connection there and just can't let it go. Even if it's hurting you. With or without the game, I hope you find happiness. <3

    Belfy, it's time to quit. I know, you hate hearing it, but it's time. Your relationship with this guy on WoW is degrading and wrong. It will probably ruin your RL relationship (if it hasn't already) and it's destroying your sense of self. You're spending many too many hours ingame. You need to pull the plug on this thing. Donate your gold to a worthy guild, say your good-byes to your homies, delete your toons and inform Blizz that they will no longer be able to have your $15 per month.



    At the same time, make sure that you have something to do in the hours that you would normally have been playing WoW: re-enroll in Uni, get involved with study groups, study in the library, go out with the new friends you make and with the old friends you refind, Don't be embarrassed about knowing that you had an electronic addiction... this is going to more and more the health care disaster of the future. Chemical addiction is still going to be a problem, but electronic addiction is becoming a bigger and bigger issue. You're not lame, you're not a loser... you're addicted.

    and also, nobody should be treated like that by any person, if he loved you, he wouldnt not treat you like a plaything he can use when it suits him
