about 3 weeks ago a friend of mine and myself decided that we were addicted to coh, we decided to play only 2 hours on tuesdays, 4 hours fridays, and weekends are free for all. We used to play basically everyday for 3+ hours. Without coh to keep me busy, i find the internet boring. I almost have my first toon to 50 too! Its killing me

So play when you want and do as you want. You don't need to play with a friend just to have fun.

Why dont you guys just level pact so regardless of when either of you play, you'll always be at the same level?

You misunderstand.
Not game instead of girlfriend. Its more, game instead of THAT girlfriend. There are lots of women out there who are ok with thier guys spending a few nights a week playing mmos. Not to mention there are even some who play the mmos with thier guy. My wife for example, plays this game with me. She even got to 50 before I did.

You're one of the lucky few. I don't seem to fall into that luck. Anyone I meet has extreme game aversion, like its some dirty thing to do on a computer. I don't get it.

Yeah, but that doesn't stop them from texting all day long or logging onto their facebook or myspace page to cram in some more stuff other people created that they just happen to enjoy. Heheh!
Been with my lady for over 15 years. She does come first.
But, as I have said to MANY of my gaming buddies, why on earth would you want to be with someone that actively disapproves of something you enjoy doing?
Seriously. If the person you are with dislikes one of your favorite hobbies, it really is time to find another mate, because that one is NOT accepting you for who you are, only what they think they can visualize you as in their mind's eye, or what they think they can mold you into given the chance.
None of the gaming buddies I have that have been foolish enough to end up with a game-hater are happy. Not one.

I agree that being with someone that actively dislikes gaming is bad news.
But he did say he was spending 3+ hours every night playing. That would be a definite crimp in any relationship even if the SO would be completely understanding if it were only... less. Most women would understand if it were no more time consuming than watching a few games and/or some tv shows.
Luckily, my wife plays with me so I'm golden

When my partner is watching said shows I paint in the lounge. WWII models, warhammer, that kind of stuff.
It means we spend time together, even if we are doing different things. It's all about having someone who may have different interests, but that isn't bothered by what you do that much.

QFT.
I told my wife that if she wants me to spend more time with her, less time on CoH, it had to be mutual and she had to give up her hour of facebook, 2 hours of phone calls, 2 hours of TV (Real Housewives Marathons) and her shopping trips with her mom that take her away all day.
Then she realized that we spend a lot of time together already and that if I stopped playing, she'd need to agree to complex TV schedules and she'd have no Facebook etc etc.
So now we spend 2 hours having a nice dinner and a little Law and Order, then we spend 3 hours on our seperate activities.
But man was that a weird few days!
My question for u DSlice is do u mean u need ur fix cuz the servers are down or just need ur fix lol.
I married my DM, and got to 50 before he did. I let him be my sidekick.

I am fine with games, so long as they don't take up *ALL* of my husband's time. He used to be extremely addicted and has been that way most of his life, I think.
He'd wake up, on the PC and gameing before work, sometimes leaving as he was actually supposed to be there. Come home, game till bed. As soon as I fell asleep, game till 4 - 6am. He had a serious problem. Sometimes, he still does.
Gameing can destroy a relationship if one isn't careful. But here's the thing: WHY would you divorce because your spuse may say the gameing is too much? Why wouldn't you give things a shot with counseling? Yes, it can help. I should know, my husband and I have been through it. (for more than just gameing issues).
Oh, and not a game hater. 2 accounts here, but I don't play them every waking minute. Sometimes, I don't play for a wek or more at a time. But I'd love time with my husband, too, you know? Sometimes it gets tiering to see him plastered to the game everytime I turn around.
But I also can understand how gameing can be an escape, because we are dealing with some bad RL stuff (not necessarily marriage related) and I know many people who escape through computer things; gameing or not.

I don't believe they're talking about "getting rid of" the person that doesn't support your gaming habit when that habit is actually an addiction. They're talking more about the people who see any game at all as being some kind of evil thing that should be avoided and all who associate with it are, by extension, evil in some way.
Getting help to deal with a gaming addiction is like getting help to deal with any kind of addiction, it just so happens that gaming addictions aren't "typically" fatal to the person who has them and they can be far easier to handle before the counseling than a drug or alcohol addiction. They're also typically easier to fix as well.
