World of Warcraft widows unite!

Have you lost your man to an online fantasy world of druids, dwarfs, elves and trolls? Is he fondling his mouse with more passion than your pinks bits? Wondering how to drag him away from the land of Azeroth to your cousin’s barbecue on Saturday night?
You may have become a WOWW– World of Warcraft widow. And I’m here to tell you, you are not alone. There’s a growing battalion of chicks despairing at how their nice, normal (usually IT employed) bloke took on a split personality and started spending more time with his online ‘guild’ than with them.
I should confess here than I’ve been a WOWW, so I speak with some authority of the matter. My former flame signed up for ‘the game’ a few months into our relationship. Overnight, my shy, sweet geek became a rampaging, bloodthirsty dwarf with an amoury of weapons. He didn’t eat, he barely slept and he took on a pale, stooped, disheveled appearance. I don’t need to tell you our sex life quickly dwindled. Mostly because he never went to bed at when I did (even the Elle McPherson matching brief set couldn’t drag him into the boudoir before 2am). Eventually he started sleeping on the couch, where I would find him most mornings - drooling into his keyboard. Sexy.
Although we managed to iron out some ‘game rules’ in an attempt to limit the time he spent online, I knew I was fighting a losing battle. Whilst I was nagging him about emptying the dishwasher and helping me pick out a new couch at Freedom, his online elves and pixies were using spells to help him conquer bloodthirsty foes and then telling him how brave and manly he was for saving the universe. I was no match for these girls.
I started daydreaming about throwing his laptop off the Sydney Harbour Bridge, or buying a nasty virus and infecting his system. I hated World of Warcraft so much, I considered picketing their offices demanding the release of our boyfriends and husbands.
In the end, though, it really did come down to a simple choice - the game or the girl? And he chose the game.
Tell me ladies - Are you a WOWW? How do you cope with game-playing?
