On-line Gaming Widow. (Yes, a place where I could buy a t-shirt "proudly" stating this fact).

"There are many ways to become a widow, not just spontaneous human combustion. This is the one we like to refer to as The Fate Worse Than Death: addiction to on-line gaming. Once your significant other finds solace in another world, populated by lithe elf-maidens and statuesque warriors, you'll never get them back. On the upside, you can have a fake funeral and collect the insurance money, and nobody will ever notice. This design is printed in purple ink on a fetching lavender raglan-style babydoll with purple cap sleeves."

I think you know you're a gaming widow when you show your half-naked self to your husband while he's playing a game.. you hope he will quickly follow you upstairs.. you end up falling asleep while waiting.. only to have him finally show up and say "I would have taken longer, but the server booted us all out of the game".

Oh.. that and he actually referred to me as such.
