But Mommy Let Me Do It!

Here’s one of those news items that flash past you with all the bigger more important things as you peruse the headlines that makes you do a double take and then stop you in your tracks to say,  “WTF?!?”

A study … conducted by Divorce Online … [found that of the] women who cited unreasonable behavior for their divorce, fifteen percent said their partners put gaming before them.

Just a year ago only about five percent believed that. Many specifically blamed the games ‘World of Warcraft’ and ‘Call Of Duty’.  SOURCE

Boys playing games into their 20’s and 30’s is simply a factor of who matures earliest – men or women.  According to Dr. LouAnn Brizendine, a neuropsychiatrist and author of the new book, “The Female Brain”, women are.  They also think of sex way less than boys do and this may contribute to why boys fill time with games.

It would be interesting to see if there is a correlation between those 15% who sue for divorce because their male spouses play games too much and how often they deny sex to men when the urge hits the male.  This isn’t something that women should be expected to subject themselves to but it might explain why a divorce was pursued as a result of adolescent male warrior fantasies instead of being caught cheating on his wife.

Ladies, here’s a clue that special guy may not be mister right or even ready for a serious relationship.  If he asks you to be his Guinevere to his Sir Lancelot and plans the wedding and reception at Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament and then suggest a honeymoon in costume at Scarborough Faire, run away.  Unless of course you share similar fantasies.  Just expect to play the tavern wench on occasion

  1. Thankful, it’s my wife who plays “W.O.W.” online. She stopped letting me name her characters for some reason though, go figure. I thought Captain Thunder Pants was a great name.

  2. I think I still have my wench outfit in my closet. It’s right next to my Batgirl outfit. I should see if they fit. Why did these studies not surprise me?
