So flashback to 1999. I was still in highschool and was heavily into an MMO called Asheron's Call. Myself and 4 of my close friends played the game religiously at the time. It was great fun. But it would always bug the shit out of me when Id call my friend and ask if he was getting online and he'd say that "his mom wont let him". Eventually he wised up and brought his computer to my house since I had 2 phone lines , and we would play there so he could get out of his home. His parents were completely disfunctional and hated each other. So it was a hostile and bad environment to grow up in.
Fast forward to the college years and playing wow whenever we didnt have class and rooming together. Great times. Some of the funnest times of our lives. All of us living in a house and gaming into the wee hours of morning. Ive never seen the guy happier.
Fast forward to the present. We went our separate ways. I am married as are the other three. We all still play wow together, except THE ONE FRIEND. Since day 1 of his marriage its like highschool all over again, with him literally saying: My wife wont let me play. This woman is one big two faced whore of a bitch. She is by far the worst person that I have ever met in my life. You can just taste the venom in every word that comes out of her mouth. She even refuses to sleep with the guy. I can count how many times the dude has had sex because I can count how many kids he has. TWO. He isnt getting laid, he cant play wow or any other game for that matter, he works full time while trying to get a second degree so he can make her fat lazy ass more money and Ive never seen the dude more miserable. I know he will never do anything about it because he has no spine, but that doesnt mean I dont feel bad for him having grown up with the guy. Ive even thought about a way I could get away with killing her once or twice. Its that bad. Id never do that though.
Anyway, anyone else have similar experiences and know of a good way to deal with this? I just feel bad. He wanted to find someone more than anyone and got married first out of all of us and his life is a shittier version of the high school years. Im married, play WoW with my wife and she doesnt care how much I play it anyway. Same with my other two friends. Got their wives into it too and we all have a good time. It just sucks seeing my friend who now just sits... waiting for the sweet cold embrace of death to free him from this succubus' iron grasp on his balls.
