writes:I have a question. My girlfriend and I have lived together for a while now and we have a great relationship. Since we have been living together, I haven't really played World of Warcraft like a I used to. I just started playing again and some of my old friends (from about 8 months ago) contacted me and we are playing together again; one is my best friend and another is my brother who lives far away. We all talk of ventrilo (voice chat) while we are playing. Well, before me and my girlfriend were going out, I had a female friend who I played with alot. It was never anything more than friendship as she is alot older and has a boyfriend. I don't even look at it that way. Well last night we were all in a voice chat and talking and stuff while my girlfriend was in the room (she could here our conversation). And this old female friend is from the south, and says things like "hun" or "love" and I think it made my girlfriend uncomfortable. I can see why as alot of people develop little internet romances but I told my girlfriend about her and nothing is a secret. My girlfriend has yet to say anything, but this lady is my friend and part of our group in the game and I want to keep playing with her as she is my friend. Should I talk to my girlfriend? I don't want to mention it, or she will think that I am denying something that hasn't and won't happen. I am just trying to make all my conversations completely open and make her see that I have nothing to hide.

Biff160 is verified as being by the original poster of the questionIt's not really a question of how much I play.
My girlfriend is kind of over-protective though. Once, she was pissed because she swore that I hit on a waitress when we went out to dinner one time. To be honest, it worries me a little that she hasn't really said anything about it because by now she would be shunning me and staying in the bedroom.
She does know that she is over-protective however and other people have commented on it too. I suspect that she is trying to see that it's someone I play a game with and I don't even know what state she resides in.

 okay, had an ex who was a WoW addict. sure your not as bad as this but your girlfriend needs to know that you love her not the game or the friend from it. you can probably still play- that should not be an issue. your girlfriend just needs to understand that she is still one of the most important things in your life

You don't need to bring it up like it's a problem. I am sure she has male friends too.
Just keep telling her you love her.
Plus, why not try and INCLUDE your girlfriend in your social life. I'm not saying you have to get her playing too, but talk about your friends and the stuff that's happening in their lives.
Talk about her BOYFRIEND and what they get up to and steal some romantic ideas from him. Don't talk about just her though - your goal is just to make her seem like one of the guys.
Good Luck!! xx

 maybe try and invite her to play with you guys.( if its possible). introduce everyone or have her sit in and see what you do. its an innocent game and its not like your cheating or anything. sometimes its weird for a girl to hear her guy talking w/ another women. just be sure that she understands its your group that you have to play the game. so it shouldnt be a problem if she trusts you.
