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

You shouldn't have to delete your toon for a girl. If she isn't satisfied by the simple act of canceling the account (by just stopping your pay subscription) then deleting your character isn't likely to work either. I've personally spent years playing, since BC, and my husband and I played together all the time. I quit because it got too be too much work to raid and keep up with dailies and side stuff but he still plays and we're perfectly happy. Sorry it was so hard for you, but glad you didn't permanently delete such hard work and dedication.

YDI for thinking you have to get rid of everything else you love in order to put her first.

Hey, my boyfriend plays Pokémon all the time, WoW is ******* awesome. If she can't let you geek around with something you enjoy because she thinks it's immature, then let her think that, don't let her change you. If you like playing WoW, she should'nt make you stop, and you shouldn't stop because you want to make her feel better. Stop if YOU want to, otherwise you'll seriously regret it!

The important thing is if you're Horde or Alliance.

honestlt I feel as tho if you cannot give up a game for a girl you "love" you dont truly love her.. I would give up everything even the clothes of my back for my girlfriend. . and if you cant do that for each othe you dont truly love each other..

You don't understand love at all, then, kiddo. Love is never about giving up everything for the other person. Love is about respect and compromise and working together but also having separate hobbies.

Just take some time off for now. They just announced the new expansion. Rejoin when that happens. No need to delete your characters. I haven't played for years, but I wouldn't delete my characters, in case I would want to pick it back up again.

Your girlfriend should accept you for who you are. No need to delete something you probably worked hard on and put many hours into. Just make more time for her and less for the game if it's bugging her. Never, ever change who you are though!

YDI. World of Warcraft is gay.
