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?

If he dumped you over a video game, he doesn't deserve you. You deserve much better!

Reminds me of the FML where the dude was dumped because his g/f was infatuated with that ****** from Twilight.

Be thankful you got out of a relationship with a hardcore gamer before it got serious and he brought out WOW.

When you mix up reality and a video game you have serious issues

#39, looks like HE will be the one living alone.... unless you count the imaginary computerized image that is a video game character..

Honestly, you should be happy. This dude obviously has issues if he can't seperate reality and fantasy... he's freeing you up to go find a normal (or semi normal) guy who can distinguish real life and video games

What you should tell him is, "THANK YOU!" He saved you precious days/weeks/months of your life that you could've wasted dealing with a dumbass like him. I had a boyfriend a couple years ago who was way too addicted to wow. I am now marrying a man who doesn't play video games. Let me tell you, IT IS WONDERFUL!

sorry... heard this many times... this is prob the worst written. Usually i hear about BFs dumping the GF because theres not enough time to play the game.. not for a fictional char... don't pity u... better yet u deserved it... Reasons: 1) you don't play the game with him 2) he picked you over the char he can stare at all day 2b) the char has a sexier body than you.... Time to rethink ur diet plan. 3) not enough sex.

It's always the womans fault. They should not have any rights. The poster is only telling her side of the story, which is what women tend to do.
