Mate,

I know we have never spoken but I have something for you which will make your life improve, these are plain rules for life and a list of priorities:

1) Yourself - take care of that 1st as you will not be able to comply to the others.
2) Family - this includes your GF (but if you marry, Wife takes 2nd place and family goes to 3nd)
3) Work - No monies no eat (hope you understand what I mean)
4) Anything that you like doing (this includes WOW).

Always try to find a balance in your life Excessive of any of the above is not good but lack of the above is not good either, so prioritize and your life will fall to place just like a jigsaw puzzle.

I know what you are going through as I had the same problems b4 I got married and found a balance.

In the meantime GOOD LUCK from my heart and hope to see you back as soon as you can Smiling

wew,

first thing is to relax,

I also had the same issue (like a lot of ppl) with my wife when I started to go "hardcore" on WoW, so here are a few personal thoughts:

Imo the best thing is to show you take things down a bit, don't play when you don't "have to" (ie, outside raids), keep your farming/grinding/pvp/cyberwanking times with Stellvia for when you GF is away/is busy/is in a good mood,

don't immediatly rush on the comp to switch it on when you get back home...

don't change yourself into a prison door when playing: yes you CAN raid and keep a minimum level of entertaining conversation

ALWAYS quit the game when things get nasty, cause it will ALWAYS do at some point- but officers can understand that, so can any of your guildmembers (if they don't, don't bother with them)

spend some real quality time on the non raiding-days, and sometimes take a couple days of rest from raiding to spend it with her,

all those things might sound obvious but I know in my case it took time to go smooth...
Just show her its not because you spend a lot of time on a videogame that this game means more to you than anything else. Hell of a job if you ask me Laughing out loud

I'm sure this happened to alot of us, so I hope you will get your way out of this very fast and can live the way you want - just relax, you'll laugh about it soon enough - it's only good memories Eye-wink
best of luck

or include your GF like Shy always did, makes it more interesting and you can blackmail Shy afterwards for details he doesn't want anyone to know Eye-wink
