I have a problem

It all started when my boyfriend's friend died.

After he died my boyfriend has been trying to hack his world of war craft account to sell it because he owed him money (harsh I know) but whatever, he hasn't succeeded (almost though) so after a few months of giving up, my brother moves in with us because his girlfriend left him and took everything so I offered him a place to stay. That's when my boyfriend started trying to hack his friends account again. He also got my brother hooked on playing world of war craft.

(My boyfriend was hooked on playing world of war craft a few years back and I asked him not to play it ever again and he didn't) UNTIL NOW!

So now not only did he get my brother hooked on playing world of war craft he is obsessed with trying to hack it and technically "playing it" and he is in denial about it and when I try to talk to him about it he just says he is not BUT HE IS!! This is causing us to have fights lately...

The thing is WE NEVER FIGHT.. I'm afraid that this may lead to me leaving him if he doesn't stop... this is totally wrecking our great reltionship

I chatted with him once more and he finally got the idea that I wasn't kidding around he has stopped botting and I'm proud of him, my brother is obsessed though and he has lost his job because of it.. not cool

The good news is that we don't fight any more because he hasn't been botting any more XD! but anyways thank you for your advice and believe me I have almost gotten manipulated into playing by many diffrent people lol

another thing.. like i said.. it isnt so much playing the game but hacking it he just sits there watching the screen like a zombie while his BOT is killing all these things without him having to play the game

OMG!!!! World of Warcraft is awesome! I have never ever played video games & thought they were so stupid/boring/weird & I love it!

You will solve a lot of issues if you just buy the game & start playing with them.

Seriously. I was having problems too about my bf & his constant game playing & tried it & now I play more than he does! lol! :-D It's really fun!

Hope this helps!

My boyfriend and I play World of warcraft (WoW) together. I suggest you try the game so you know why he likes playing it all the time. I actually recommend WoW to other couples.. it could be a hobby that you guys could share together. Well thats just my opinion.. It worked out for my boyfriend and I.. we only play together then when one of us wants to get off, we go do something else. "If you can't beat em, join em" .. that way you guys won't have to fight about it.
