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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was watching TV with my boyfriend, when a World of Warcraft commercial came on. He turned to me and said, "Yeah, I'd choose the Horde over you any day." 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, 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, it became apparent that my boyfriend only showers when he levels up on World of Warcraft. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I broke up. He said it was because he wanted to 'do his own thing'. So gaming 24/7 like he has for the past two years of our relationship, then. FML
Today, my boyfriend broke up with me after 2 years of being together. The reason? I don't enjoy playing video games as much as he does. FML
Today, I realized that my husband has a video games addiction. I am currently pregnant; he brought us to the same country he's in so we can finally live together, only for me to witness him being glued to his laptop all day and all night playing WoW. He's forgotten I even existed. FML
Today, after weeks of my yelling, my boyfriend finally listened and got a hobby. Instead of getting into something sensible like martial arts, he chose tabletop gaming. Now I have to listen to hours of boring stories about pretend fantasy worlds, and admit to everyone that my boyfriend is a nerd. FML
Today, my husband quit his job as a university professor and picked up the graveyard shift at a rat farm so he could have more time during the day to play World of Warcraft. FML
Today, my boyfriend broke up with me. He said it was because his online gaming friends don't like it when I ask him to spend time with me. FML

You sound like a bitchy whiner about not having attention dumped on your all the time. FHL for having to deal with you for 5 years.

I'm a girl, and I'm on his side...its somethign he enjoys and telling him to choose it or you is ridiculous...frankly if I did that to my boyfriend I'd be expecting that

playing wow is only as big a deal as you make it. my bf plays and now i play. i wasn't exactly thrilled by it either but i decided to become apart of it then let it eat at me. join in his interests.

Um yeah he's addicted if he chooses a video game over regular sex. He fails.

World of Warcraft is a ridiculously addicting game and you get out of it what you put in. That is precisely why I stopped playing. If you're not willing to play all-night marathon raid sessions or spend hours crafting or fighting other players you won't get very far. I could never raid on Friday nights because I see my girlfriend every friday night. That being said, hardcore WoW players are too dedicated to the game to responsibly handle a relationship unless it's with someone else who plays just as much as they do or someone who can handle coming in second to the game. Truth be told, if you're not willing to invest 24+ hours per week into the game, WoW is pretty boring. The guy was wrong to neglect the girl for a game and yes, she was wrong to give him an ultimatum. If you're tired of playing second banana to the Conqueror's Deathbringer Garb communication may have been a better idea, telling him how you feel and breaking up if your feelings don't matter enough for him to at least cut back to a reasonable amount of play time (after which he would get bored and quit any way, lol)

Sounds like you were just bad if you think you need to spend that much time to get anywhere.
