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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

YDI or giving a man an ultimatum between video games and women. While sex is great, video games don't ever nag at you.

The O in WoW isn't capitalized.

Never get between a guy and his video games. I'm a girl and I even know that. -_-

YDI, guys will be guys. I'm sure you did somethings that he didn't like, but I don't think he made you CHOOSE. Honestly if you needed THAT much attention you could have just talked to him. And if a video game makes him happier than you, then clearly you're doing something wrong. I don't blame him actually, if my boyfriend asked me to choose between him or WoW I would break up with him for the fact that if he wont take into consideration that WoW is something I do for fun and that I like it, then he's not worth my time. Get over it and learn to talk to your boyfriends about certain things that they do that you don't like. And if you did talk to him and he didn't care then it's better you two broke up. Remember; a bunch of guys LOVE videogames. And yes, they can get carried away with them, as do girls (me! :P) But that doesn't mean that you don't have a voice and that you don't have an opinion on the matter.

Guys will be guys/boys will be boys is just an excuse for guys to do retarded things so never use it as an argument again. Since the OP said they'd been together for five years, I'm sure she's done all the talking about this problem that she can and has finally had enough. So I'd bet the ultimatum was justified. Ultimatums definitely shouldn't be used too lightly but if the bf was obsessed with a game and refused to even cut back a little, then the OP was in the right. A relationship needs to have compromise on both ends, not just the gf having to deal with it when a game consumes his life.

and as I said, if he didn't listen to her then it's better they broke up. Then she could find a guy that LISTENS to her.

That's why you don't ask. It's always better not to know.

Same thing basically happened with me. It wasn't that he said it made him happier--I told him he needed to quit because he kept ignoring me for the game, and he said he would, but he didn't. So I ended it. :D Stupid, horrible, addicting game.

I don't get why people use "he turned down sex to finish a raid" as concrete proof that someone is an addict. If I were reading or sewing or cooking or, well, playing WoW - you know, getting "me time" and doing something I enjoy - and my boyfriend came up to me and said "hey baby, let's sex," I probably wouldn't be all about it just then either.

Wait a minute... all of these posts assume too much. If WoW has completely taken over his life, and he's immersed himself in a virtual world while taking no notice of anything in his real life, then the ultimatum was justified. People who lose themselves to video games usually have serious problems in their lives. (I said usually, before any of the trolls around here try to accuse me of calling anyone who plays video games mentally challenged, or some such crap.) If it's just a hobby of his, and she just didn't like that he was playing it, it certainly wasn't justified. My boyfriend and I are gamers, and we both play WoW, but it certainly isn't what we spend most of our time on. We've played various MMORPGs, including EVE Online and Age of Conan, but it's always just a hobby. So, if it was a hobby for him, then she needed to stop being selfish, and accept that it's something he enjoys. If his life was completely controlled by it, then he needed to realise he's wasting his life in a virtual world, when there's thousands of other things he could be doing. Being a gamer is one thing, but becoming lost to the real world is WAY over the top.
