GameShout has an interesting piece on a new online support site for “gaming widows.”
Found at GamerWidow.com, the site offers forums, humor and more to help those dealing with a loved one’s over indulgent play schedule. While most gamers remember there’s a whole world waiting beyond their computer, some folks have clearly become a little more than wrapped up in MMOGs as evidenced by the need for such sites.
Users of the site identify themselves as WoW Widows, EQ Widows and more.
A Gamer Widow is a term for those who have a relationship with a Gamer (one who plays video games, be it on a console or on the computer) who pays more attention to the game than to their partner....thereby making their partner a 'gamer widow' (female) or 'gamer widower' (male). In general we say 'gamer widow' and encompass both male and female community members.
GamerWidow.com is a place for all sorts of Gamer Widows to come together and discuss their experiences, learn about other 'widows' and also learn about the games that their gamers are obsessed with.
