I live with my boyfriend who once used to be a smart, funny and sweet man, but he is now a former shell of himself. He rediscovered Warcraft, which was an obsession of his that came and went before my time: it has again returned. I've tried to be a trooper and play along with him; we both created new characters together (horde - I wanted to be naughty) and played together for a few months, but then he decided he wanted to go back to his lvl 60 alliance once he bought Burning Crusades. That was the last I saw of him. I've tried to continue playing, but I find it boring after level 20 when you have to play alone. Now my poor lvl 56 mage sits there, knowing she will never reach 70. We have both been wronged. Boyfriend now has a 70 Human Pally and has decided that if I want to spend time with him, then I need to create a new character, this time alliance, that he can play with his guild buddies whenever he feels. I want my former boyfriend back. I'm a cute girl, but I'm beginning to feel bad about myself when my boyfriend would rather run Kara than get naked. What has happened? You know he's played for 13 hours straight on numerous occasions, right? I might as well live alone.
Is there a 12 step program? A patch? Is there a place where widowed women go to lament over the loss of their loved ones? I really only require minimal attention, honestly. This morning he went straight from bed to his computer, and then back to bed. I caved and brought him a sandwich when I feared he was getting malnourished. Please help... nothing works. He hardly notices my gratuitous nudity anymore. My entire interaction with him today was when he exclaimed "boobies!" before he quickly squeezed my left breast. His vocabulary is limited to WoW speak and the ramblings of a two-year-old. I've resorted to running in the middle of Orgrimmar and seeing how many characters I can get to strip down and dance with me in order to have fun. What have I become?
I want my sexy man-beast back!
