so what your saying if someone like an actor everyone really likes and is cool played wow is automatically a nerd? just because they play it doesn't mean they dress up and think that it's real

as a matter of fact no one dresses up and does that,

Obviously she was aware he had this hobby, but the problem here isn't that he plays the game, it's the outragious request that's the problem. Everyone has a hobby they really enjoy but to ask to postpone the wedding for it shows how little they really want to have the wedding. Just because she knew he plays the game doesn't mean she deserves it at all. If you were marrying someone who always enjoys biking should you really expect them to say they want to pospone the wedding because there's a race happening the same day? It doesn't matter what the hobby is honestly, either way it's rather selfish and inconsiderate. I do agree that smashing the computer is a bit extreme but she definately needs to sit him down and make him realize how choosing a computer game over marrying her is hurtful. Also, saying that she should try to play the game to understand why he enjoys it so much would not fix this problem...for all you know she does play, or has before. The OP could also be addicted to the game, but is still able to see that it's not more important than the real people in their life. I bet she's actually pretty understanding when it comes to him playing this game because someone willing to put off a wedding for it would easily put off less important matters to play the game instead...I'm sure this isn't the first thing he's tried to miss for the game.

So...wait. You're saying that because he plays WoW, she "should have known" that he would want to postpone (re: cancel and reschedule) a very expensive, planning-intensive, major life event? And you say that HE'S the one giving WoW players a bad name? Uh...okay. You might want to check what YOU'RE implying about WoW players... "...it's a hobby that people spend their free time playing." It's unfortunate that wedding day =/= free time. And 178 is right. It has nothing to do with him playing WoW. It has to do with the fact that he made a completely idiotic and borderline impossible request.

You do realize it wasn't the OP that smashed a computer with a hammer, right?

Yes indeed, cause sex is the be all and end all of life. It's possible to have fun doing something non-sexual. You actually find some good quality guys on WoW /cough

167 - And yet having someone in real life who cares for you and is willing to spend their life with you is not worth giving up a game? I agree that sex shouldn't be the main component of a relationship but you can't deny that it's important. And if his real life needs him why should he put his game before it and expect for the real life to stop and stay great only when he wants? It sounds like he thinks real life is the one with a pause/quit button and world of warcraft is the one that keeps him conscious.

just to clarify, I'd drop plans with a friend to go drink beers over a raid, not the day I make the rest of my life with someone I love official. Any decent raiding guild should be able to accommodate him not being there.
