Living with an Agoraphobic WoW Addict

This is my diary, a record of what it's like living with a partner who has
Anxiety Disorder and Social Phobia and how it's affecting us.

The weekend's over

I ended up hanging out about 3 loads of washing, but then left them on the line overnight so this morning DS 13 had to get his clothes and put them in front of the heater. Yes, I'd washed ALL of his uniforms. At 2pm yesterday I had to pick up DD 16 and DS 13 and took them to visit mum. DD 1 fell asleep at 1.30pm so I left her at home. DP sent a message asking about tea, he usually does... and said to send the kids for fish and chips because it's just down the street from mum's. I ended up doing that and we headed home at 5.15pm. DP had let DD 1 sleep until 4.45pm when I said she wouldn't sleep at night. Sure enough at 10.30pm I was still struggling with her. DP took her and she fell asleep (while he played WoW) He actually did quite a few dishes yesterday afternoon, although there is a pile of plastic stuff there this morning. I'll get on to it as soon as I'm done here. I just put on a load of washing, DP is still in bed.

Last night he was talking about needing $300-odd and asked how much I had in my "other" account. That's supposedly my savings account, but we're always dipping in to it, I have a little over $200. So he says he's selling his WoW account for $500 and asked if I thought that sounded right - like I'd have any idea! He has a few level 80 characters. I thought he was going to be entering some tournament that has prize money, he said he still was. But he needs this money now. He showed me what looks like an engagement ring and said he'd bought it. I don't know that I condone buying jewellery online, not for that kind of money. He said he didn't include GST and he had some changes he wanted made. Now I'm concerned that he's wanting to ask me to marry him. I can't, until some changes are made around here. I'll have to tell him that. This just isn't where I want to be, things aren't the way I want them to be. I guess we shall see how things go this next week. He's seeing his dr today and has to get some certificate to take to a Job Assessment on Wednesday. Something to do with help for people "like him". Last week he was told to go onto a disability payment... he's been told that before. To me it's like giving up. The other suggestion was that we somehow tell Centrelink that he is responsible for the care of one of our little girls and I have care for the other so neither of us have to put in fortnightly forms. I don't know how that would work, but again it defeats everything. I want DP to go out and get a job and function like a normal person. Not enable him to sit at home playing WoW all the time! And I haven't heard about the job I applied for, I'm concerned my application didn't go through because I used the hotmail account and it probably went straight to their junk folder. Oh well...

It's 9am, I've put on washing, now to get in to the kitchen. Better get the girls dressed too, perhaps give them a bath. Might get in to the kitchen just as DP gets up and is in there getting breakfast - several coffees and toast... as he sits on the computer.
