Today, I tried to prove to my girlfriend how much I've matured and that our relationship comes before anything else in my life. So I went to delete my character in World of Warcraft. I tried to confirm it, but I couldn't, breaking down in tears instead. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my girlfriend broke up with me because she met someone else on World of Warcraft. I've been paying for her subscription. FML
Today, after six months of dating, my girlfriend decided to break up with me because my "obsession" of being on the computer and playing games all the time was cutting into "our time". She then told me to "get a life" and never wanted to see me again. She told me all of this on WoW. FML
Today, I got bored and decided to try World Of Warcraft. FML
Today, I gave the option to my boyfriend of 5 years to either quit World of Warcraft of lose me. He said WOW makes him happier. FML
Today, my boyfriend dumped me because he said the relationship was too tough for him. When I asked for an example, he responded, "Like, I don't have enough time to play World of Warcraft." FML
Today, I realized that I'll have to explain to my child that mommy and daddy met on World of Warcraft. FML
Today, several family members, including my mum, deleted me from Facebook in a concerted show of contempt. Apparently, I just can't shut up about World of Warcraft. FML
Today, my boyfriend dumped me because I was having an affair in The Elder Scrolls Online. While ranting to my online elf husband, he got upset that I had a real life boyfriend and dumped me too. FML
Today, I was feeling proud of myself because I finally quit World Of Warcraft. I later found out about the gift my dad's family gave me. It was a 12-month subscription to World Of Warcraft. FML
Today, I found myself crying for an hour when my recreated crush on The Sims 3 game rejected my character and ran off with someone else. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

It's always a hard life for us video gamers. I empathize OP.

**** that! You shouldn't have to delete anything you don't want to man! If she can't accept that you play WOW or any other video game, she doesn't love you for who you are. Live your life how you want to! Not how she thinks it should be lived

why would you even try to delete a Warcraft character. regardless the meaning they are worth way to much time and money to just delete the character. just deactivate your account

Bro, TBH instead of deleting it try to sell it. You can make good money from that.

Deleting a character in a bunch of zeros and ones doesn't prove maturity... Being there for her does.

Pft, if she wants you to delete your chars, find someone with common interests instead :P My boyfriend and I have been playing together for almost 3 years and met eachother in game ;)

Why would she want you to delete a WoW account for your relationship? It's a healthy (if in moderation) and affordable hobby. If you're home playing WoW, you're not out drinking and doing other things. My gf and I play MMOs together all the time. It's quality time doing something together that we both enjoy. I've lost count of how many couples I've run into, where one of them started playing to spend time with their significant other and has grown to genuinely enjoy the game. My gf plays MUCH more often than I do. Sometimes I will ask her for time away the game to spend it with me. I would never ask her to to kill an account; it makes her happy and it's something she enjoys. So why would I want her to stop? Just because you enjoy a game every now and then, doesn't mean you're immature; it means you know how to relax. I am a 25 year-old gamer and will be a 50 and 75 year-old gamer.

Well if your girlfriend expected you to stop playing the game she is a bitch. If she didn't, well you are sweet for trying, but don't let anyone change you. If they want to change you, they are not for you.

Do what my partner and I did, just let the subscription expire. It's much less painful as you know they'll still be there if you ever start playing again. Also, I like it when he plays games... It gives me much needed space and alone time when needed. Though, we also play together... That is how we met after all.

For the horde!!! And you don't need to completely give it up, we are gamers and most of us are down proud, never change ur self for somebody, but if u really care for her it's called balance my friend, and if she cares she'll understand
