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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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, 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 asked my dad to pick me up from school, he said he couldn't. Why? he was busy playing world of warcraft for the night. I got to walk the 3 hours home while my 49 year old dad played computer games. 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
Today, my boyfriend refused to take me out on our three year anniversary because he was busy, "training to become a professional gamer." FML
Today, my boyfriend taught my son to do his chores. Not real chores, but "Runescape chores" on my boyfriend's account. My son won't pick up his toys or put his shoes away, but he'll jump on the computer to grow plants or cut trees or some other stupid shit. FML
Today, it became apparent that my boyfriend only showers when he levels up on World of Warcraft. FML
Today, my boyfriend forgot to pick me up from work. We work at the same place. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I were arguing about how he was too busy for me. During that conversation, he was texting his best friend and then called by his brother to drive him home. Instead of returning to finish our conversation, he left to prepare for his fishing trip with his mates tomorrow. FML
Today, I realized that I'll have to explain to my child that mommy and daddy met on World of Warcraft. FML

My mom (who I no longer see thank god) forgot my sister and me at elementary school for 3 hours one day and it was one of scariest times of my life. Luckily my dad saw us waiting outside while driving by (my parents are divorced) and picked us up and took us to his house.. Thankfully he was at daycare and not just waiting outside. Sorry to hear about this! So sad. Kids are always #1 priority!

I would definitely put parental controls on it. I wouldnt immediately jump to breaking up, because there IS a child involved, but your boyfriend needs serious help. Video game addiction is very real and WOW is an easy one to be addicted to. I really hope he is willing to get better.

You seriously trusted someone who plays WoW to walk away from the game?

Take his PC outside and burn it. Your boyfriend is a negligent fuckhead.

People like you I wish would die. You don't burn someone's computer I wish I could burn you you idiot.

207- Aren't you more concerned about people like OP's boyfriend? He deliberately neglected his son so that he could play a video game.

My dad fell asleep and forgot to pick me up from my first day of kindergarten. Luckily my Day Care bus was there and picked me up. Was still traumatizing.

Sorry to hear that OP. One of my friends was addicted to WoW, he was so busy playing it, he failed all his exams and is now in debts. And is still playing. I don't say that every online gamer is an addict, but such games are like cigarettes. If you do it too often, you cannot stop anymore.

People still play WoW?

Unfortunately. I don't see what's so fun about fighting the same enemies over and over a thousand times just to beat one boss and then do that the entire game.

He's a scumbag. Divorce him

First off, it says the guy is just a boyfriend, not a husband, therefor they're not married. Divorce is not an option. And really? You'd break up with the guy just like that? Not try to talk to him about his addiction? 1 mess up = dump the guy?
