Cancelled My WoW Subscription

Yes I play, or at least played World of Warcraft. Not religiously or in an obssessive way, it was just a fun game for relaxing and passing time. I use to come home from work and She'd be watching something on TV I didn't much have any interest in, so I hopped on my computer and got to my game.

Looking back, I don't think me playing WoW really got in the way of our relationship. A lot of couples have their own way of unwinding at the end of a long day and that's fine. And it wasn't like I ignored Her while I played; we carried on conversations and sometimes I would even talk about what show She was watching on TV. So until recently, I didn't think much of it. 

But I'd give anything to be able to go back and trade all those moments staring at a pixelated world for sitting next to Her on the couch instead. I don't care if She was watching reality TV, a sitcom I didn't really find funny, or some sad sappy movie - anything would be better than letting those moments go to waste.

So to hopefully avoid something like that ever happening again, I cancelled my WoW account. Also, the $15 a month it costs suddenly seems a lot more important than before I was single. 

I can't say I'll quit playing video games forever, though when I think of all the time I've put into them over the years I do feel a little sick. There's so much else I could've done, most importantly making sure someone else knew just how much I cared about them.
