ultimatum
April 26, 2002
so i did it. gave him the ultimatum last night. the game, or me. after ages of silence, he asked if he could say goodbye before dumping it. i cried so hard - was genuinely afraid he would choose the game.
beth said that ive got some balls. i still dont know if what i did was the right thing. i feel like this needed to be done, yet i feel like a terrible person to make such demands.
he, needless to say, is not handling it well. if the game is not off of the computer on saturday when i wake up, i am going to either 1) uninstall it myself or 2) tell him i am going to my brothers until it is gone. i do know that saying goodbye to someone or something you love is very hard.
think about us this weekend...

aww honey... *hug* he damn well better choose you over some crummy game. if he doesn't, i'll fly myself up there and beat some sense into you. and if that still doesn't work, i'm still looking for a roommate... :)
by the time i got home from work today, he was finishing up giving away all of his characters items to other players (feeding someone elses addiction, i say), and the deleted the last of his 8 characters.
and, checking now, im noticing that the game is off of the computer save for a few small shortcuts that dont link to anything anymore. and his collections of maps, skills, quests, etc. is gone. box and all.
i almost cant believe he did it....
congrats. i knew he'd make the right choice. :) but don't be surprised if he's a little depressed for a while. it's tough to kick an addiction like that. be gentle and loving with him, maybe help him find something else to do instead of the game. take him rollerblading or something. wait, do you even have pavement up there? or is it all snow... hehehe *hugs*
