Today, my husband quit his job as a university professor and picked up the graveyard shift at a rat farm so he could have more time during the day to play World of Warcraft. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I went into labor and got my husband drive me to the hospital. Instead of staying by my side, he rushed back home for a World of Warcraft raid. His excuse? His friends were counting on him and they'd be pissed if he let them down. FML
Today, I realized that my husband has a video games addiction. I am currently pregnant; he brought us to the same country he's in so we can finally live together, only for me to witness him being glued to his laptop all day and all night playing WoW. He's forgotten I even existed. FML
Today, I gave the option to my boyfriend of 5 years to either quit World of Warcraft of lose me. He said WOW makes him happier. FML
Today, my boss, mentor, and gaming buddy, has officially quit. Turns out even he doesn't get paid enough to deal with this bullshit. FML
Today, my husband had confessed that we couldn't go on a vacation this spring because he was out of vacation time. He took two weeks off and pretended to go to work, then came home once I'd left. Another woman? No, some stupid shit in his video game called "Runescape Leagues." FML
Today, I had to explain to my son that his dad was too busy in a raid on World of Warcraft to be at his award ceremony. FML
Today, it became apparent that my boyfriend only showers when he levels up on World of Warcraft. FML
Today, my husband decided he was finally going to quit his job. We literally bought a house last week. His job is/was easy, with pay way above his qualifications. After we'd talked about it FOR THE 50TH TIME, he did the opposite and texted the dept. head that he hates the company and wants to be part time at most. FML
Today, my boyfriend forgot to pick our son up from daycare. His excuse? Fighting in a battle in World of Warcraft was far more important and he had to stay absolutely focused. Our son had to wait for two hours. FML
Today, my boyfriend dumped me because he said the relationship was too tough for him. When I asked for an example, he responded, "Like, I don't have enough time to play World of Warcraft." FML

List his account on eBay if it doesn't sell it'll get banned for attempting to sell it. I've played wow for years but recently quit from not having time to play. Quit the game before you quit your job. FYL op some people have serious issues.

Ok, I admit what he did was stupid, but op could at least talk to her husband about it instead of being a total douche about it that will probably just cause more problems in the end. Plus, you never screw with someone's WoW account... Just never...

It's people like your husband that give us WoW players a bad rap. Sorry you got stuck within one of the unfortunate few who takes the game more seriously than everyday life OP.

Seems like he has his priorities in order.

8- Have you ever played WoW? I'm by no means condoning his actions, but it truly is an addictive game. I played it in high school for a while. I would log on at around 8:00pm, next thing I knew it would be 4:00am. Once that game has it's grip on you, it's hard to quit. I think OP should focus less on the career change, and more on the addiction itself. People have lost their families from the addiction to it, if I am remembering correctly.

The game is good but not that good of one to quit a really good job
