  WoW. Just WoW.
  That was like every bad emotion-based beatdown I have ever taken from a woman multiplied by 10 with dramatically less rational content.

							She wants him to do something, but instead of saying that's what she wants, she just assumes he should know and gets pissed off when he doesn't do it.
  Then, when he starts doing what she wants, she's annoyed that he's finally doing it.
  When did my ex-wife start playing WoW??

She would go on my ignore list fast. She might need to put down the keyboard and get a grip. Ladies: if you are upset and the guy asks you if you are upset, dont play stupid mind games and say you ARENT upset. If you want help and we offer help, dont say you dont want help and then be upset about it. Sheesh.

							That WoW gal's writing was a long emotional venting that probably would have been better suited to a blog than a message board.   Such happenings on aren't too unusual of a turn of events, really.   In case any of you are entertaining the idea of running your own online game, be aware that little dramas like that can and will roll over to your personal attempt at digital nirvanna.    It doesn't even have to be terribly big scale - I've seen relationships get turbulant over the virtual antics on a 16 line MajorBBS.     Heck, I've seen them fall apart on single line message boards BBSes.

  Makes me proud of my "ladies first" policy when my wife and I play together.  Whenever there's a "gather parts/items" quest, I let her get hers first.  She's almost pleasant to play with, when I do this.

  So there. We can't help it if good men use rational communication and logical thought to get what we need. Women that can't catch up to that are doomed, as are men who can't communicate at all.

  An avatar helps other's understand who you are... as your's clearly demonstrates, Calantus.

							Personally, at this point in my life, I hate furniture.  Furniture is why I cannot watch football in HD.   When your wife buys a dining room table, 6 chairs and a new couch, a 42" rear projection LCD seems far off. 
  I think there's two more chairs for the living room to go before I can even start pricing TVs again.

							Righ bought a HUGE television last year.  At first I was a bit taken aback, but I've learned to rather like it, although it takes up nearly a whole wall space.  The only time I resent it is when something like CSI is on.  I just can't watch that much gore that close up.  
  I don't even own a proper dining set, although I have a lovely cherry table that belonged to my mother.  I'm more the comfy chair and sofa type.  I like extreme comfort above just looks.
  Furniture should really have it's own forum, doncha think?

							You do realise if she gets to the point of "I will destroy Toast's prescious possession" she wont be too far from "I will leave Toast", right? That's not necessarily true.  The former case is about controling somebody.  Usually, the more somebody wants to control somebody else, the more it would irk them to lose them from their grip.

							It would take Toast longer to rebuild his MMOG character than it would for him to start a new relationship and develop it to that point. 
  That statement is chilling, eh? Almost as chilling as "It will take more hours for my SWG character to become a Jedi than it will take me to complete two full college courses."
