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
Collection
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

Might not be the game. Depending on how long he's played, there would be emotional attachment to the character. There is more than enough research about it.

"All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us". Take it from a guy who lived in a different fantasy world

My suggestion: date a girl who plays WoW. Problem solved! :). Destroying legions of foes is now called Date Night!

That could be even worse if they happen to be from the other faction...

Perhaps they can each start a new character (not deleting their others) and stay on the same faction. Then they could still play together. Either way, that's what I call a cool date.

Not always a good thing. Pretty sure wow ate my relationship and we both played. Gotta make sure you do more than WoW.

#130 I meant that many players associate with only one faction, and wouldn't easily change to the other faction. (For the Horde!/For the Alliance!)

#130 judging your comment below you'll understand what I mean, FOR THE HORDE! Indeed!

I'm not a gamer, but why would you say something like that? Everyone has hobbies, and most people have hobbies that they are emotionally involved with. I have a home design program with over 400 homes I've designed. it's just a hobby, but I'd be crushed if they all were deleted. I have friends who are photography buffs. You wouldn't expect them to burn all of their photographs. Or an artist to burn his paintings, or a writer to trash the novel he's spent 3 years writing. My business partner is a car buff. he spent the last 6 years restoring a 67 Cadillac droptop. He wouldn't sell it for $1million, let alone destroy it for no good reason. Why would anyone expect a gamer to just delete a character they spent years developing? Better yet, why would you insult him (and all gamers) for their choice of a hobby. OP: If your girlfriend is judging you for your hobbies, get a better girlfriend.

Good chance he has more time invested in "The Game" than the girl.

Once a gamer, always a gamer OP.

Good point. His gf may leave him, but WoW will always be there.
