I would have made the same decision! My guy started getting irritated with how much time I spent online when I was working and still in school, while he was working too. I stopped playing games online to avoid problems between us. I now only play one, sometime two, but I'm not obsessed like I was before. It's hard balancing many things at once!
The Truth
03/26/2013
Congrats at making the best decision for your family, those decisions always seem to be the hardest.
03/26/2013
Thanks for sharing Stormy. You didn't owe us an explanation, but its nice to know why there are changes to EF, especially when it involves someone everyone likes and respects. I applaud you for your decision, this coming from a husband who has also fought frustration because of the time demands of a wife's career. I wish you the best of luck as a housewife and I'm glad you're still with us on EF and in the forum.
03/26/2013
Thanks for all you did for the community and making it a fun place to hang out. It was nice to hear your reasons and I think you made the right choice. I'm glad you'll be sticking around.

Thank you! I've always loved Eden and reviewing. Once I get my "review focus" back, I'll start churning out a few here and there. I'm sure there are sixty follow up reviews I could write.

Seriously, until I started getting deeper and deeper into the company I don't think either one of us realized just how driven I could be. This was the first time in my work-life where I was not met with a glass ceiling and I could express my thoughts and ideas and have them be appreciated. I'm not even going to lie that that can be extremely addictive - just solve one more piece of the puzzle, take care of that one thread you just saw, oh and don't forget to do this and that. I may as well have been magenta/chartreuse-spo tted as far as he was concerned. All I did was talk or think about Eden.
Now I get to be a part of it and enjoy it all. Besides my house was a wreck. LOLOL I get to occupy my time with some deep cleaning and Xbox.

This is exactly why I don't game. I have one game that I've been working on for almost two years and I've only completed 45% of it. I'm glad you were able to find a good balance. I mean it's never a good thing to give up something you truly love if it isn't hurting anything (you know people who make irrational demands for no reason), but when it's a problem it needs to be fixed.

I never mind explaining myself, the reasoning is usually sound. Usually. I'm pretty glad you guys still want me around. Sometimes when a person exits a situation like this, they are chased out with pitchforks and torches. And this is precisely why I love the community. When everyone is positive and supportive of each other, it really gives the place personality.

I think one of the first threads I started on the forum was "how the hell do you deal with all this stuff". I was so confused but through other people being willing to work with me on it, I eventually learned the site. I know how it feels to be lost or left out and I never wanted that for any of you. You've pretty much got the hang of things now. It just takes time.

Your life with your husband is paramount. Go enjoy him and enjoy your life doing what you love best.

Big hugs and tons of love hunnie! I would have made the same decision if I had that much time invested and my partner could keep us both afloat financially I am glad you are going to still be around I still find myself thinking "What would Stormy do?" but that doesn't help me now damnit lol. I am glad though that you are going to be sticking around. Always enjoyed our chats and whatnot. You ROCKED as an Admin and I know you will rock as a community member.

You made the absolute best choice given your circumstances and I admire you that much more for knowing what you had to do.
