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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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

I don't understand why you have to delete the character to prove your maturity or loyalty...

As a gamer I understand your pain.

i commend you for your attempt. if at all possible could you find another way to prove it to her? but im speaking from the outside in since my girlfriend is into gaming.

It's a good shot OP... I understand too. But, here's a solution. Get her to play too :P It worked for my boyfriend lol - But, beware of what you wish for: I just ended up rolling higher than him on the only mount he farmed for so long: Ashes of A'lar :D (Tell her she doesn't need to raid, or game hardcore, she can go fishing and collect pets (if she's not into games so much) Good luck!

If she thinks your game is "immature" then she has the problem, you don't need to change to like her or to prove her anything! I'm a gamer girl and I wouldn't erase any of my beloved characters because of anybody! You need to find someone who likes you for who you are and that includes the love for gaming! good luck!

Choose wow and find a girl to play with you. If she cant accept your hobbies, its ridiculous of her to expect you to accept hers

You proved something alright.

if your girlfriend can't accept that you like videos games and such, she doesn't love you. my boyfriend plays with his games,and afterwards it's like having the best boyfriend ever as the video games lets out his frustration.

"As a fellow gamer". 2 things, does she force you to do this? If so, you do not have to really, its just a hobby, like any other hobbies out there. You should do whatever you perfer as long as its not illegal. And I agree, it sucks. If she do not force you but its your own idea and can not come to it, just let it be unsubscribed and sit there. You have not lost it but you do not use it. Honestly, it should not be that hard to remove a character, if it is, you might be a addict, not a gamer. There is supportgroups and help for people that are addicted to gaming specifically that can help you. I registred just to make this comment, been there, sucks, now I am no addict, but a avid and dedicated gamer, its no difference then how I was back then, besides the problems in the head we get when we get to attached. Dissregards any type-errors, my spellcheck is not working. ;)
