The guy broke up with her. Over the phone. For a fictional woman. Why would you want to "be serious" with a guy who does that?

Ohhh jeez. That's rough for you, but don't worry about it too much. If he's going for the video game, he's not worth it anyway.

For those of you who think it's fake, you have never heard of the PSO love story. Let me give you the cliffnotes, this is actually real, a guy met a girl online, guy had wife and 2 kids. He said he leave his wife and kids for her. I 100% believe this, because there is precedent for it.

No offense, but are you sure you have the story straight? I just mean, I'm a geekgirl that spends a lot of time online and I know a several people who have fallen for their role-playing partners in online games. It still has issues, but at least there is a real person behind the ideal. If you aren't familiar with the whole gaming world, check out The Guild online, starring Felicia Day. Hilarious series.

That guy is awesome. I'd say he's a keeper, but...

Damn. I don't mean to offend you, but that is one MAJOR jackass. I agree with #130. Yeah, it may be upsetting now, but it may be better in the long run. I know people who think that animated girls are hot, but at the same time they realize, "Hey, this is a fake person." Sounds like this guy needs to get his head out of the game and more into what he's doing when he's playing the game of something called "Life".

If this isn't bogus, good. Now you aren't dating a deluded person.

what makes me laugh is, the other day there was an FML that said "my boyfriend wouldn't have sex with me because of pokemon" and that got 80% negative responses, like, "A MAN'S GOTTA HAVE HIS GAMES!" and then there's support on this one. what??

FML needs a function where you can rate the probability that an FML is FAKE... this would be 100% fake..
