I'm a girl and a gamer. I'm voting YDI for waiting 5 years to decide that you don't like him playing WOW. I've only recently started to play WOW but my husband and I play it together whenever we have the spare time. we don't let it affect our social life.

YDI, I'm male and smart enough to know you never give a guy a choice.

You should've done what I did: make a character and get to playing! WoW isn't as bad as girlfriends think. If you can't beat it, join it. It made me and my boyfriend have even more fun together.

Any woman that asks that freaking deserves it. WoW doesn't nag.

Technically YDI for giving an ultimatum and not being ready to face both options. But the fact that you were pushed to point of doing it is proof in itself that he was probably spending way too much time on WoW, and neglecting you guys' relationship drives me to say FYL instead. You made a gamble and lost, OP. Happens to the best of us.

Hello everyone well I am the one who wrote this FML. First of all I did not tell him to quit completely, but I asked him only to quit on the weekends because those are the only days I am free and I would like to spend time with him. I am a full-time college student who works part-time on the other hand he only works part time and is not in school. I know he loves to play WoW so I told him fine just as long as you and I spend weekends. But he still decided to pick WoW over me claiming that Sundays do not count as weekends. I just got fed up with it and even though it has been 5 years I deserve better and I am sure I can get someone better. And for those assuming we didn't have sex. We did and it was great, but there were times he would much rather raid than go see me. It got to a point he would ask people to cover his shift so he could raid. Ya pathetic. I have never posted an FML before, but thanks to those on my side and for those who understand. Of course I did not expect the gamers to understand that is their life. Unfortunately, they can't seem to find an exciting real life so they decide to create a virtual one that makes them happy, avoiding and neglecting those who really matter. And I absolutely loved him, but it eventually had to end sometime. I deserve much better. Im excited for a new life ahead of me. As for him hope he one day realizes his mistake by then it will be late, but oh well.

Your life definitely sucks. I'm sorry that had to happen, though. I know the feeling, it's RIDICULOUSLY difficult to pull my bf away from WOW, or any other game he's playing. I suggest you two try to work it out, perhaps ask him to stay away from it while you're around. Best of luck!

Want to know the sad thing is I broke up with my ex over world of Warcraft. I was with him for almost 4 years. After 3 years of dating and I move four provinces over to be with him he plays the game. No harm in it, but it started taking over his life where he played it from 7am till 2am everyday. To this day even after 6 months of me breaking up with him he still plays it. He stopped spending time with me and to be honest he got very aggressive over it. Not sure if anyone else feels this way?? He would flirt and dance and call them baby etc to people he's never met. I told him to spend time with me or he was going to lose me. He said," you can't make me chose you over my game, it's mental work for me and I enjoy it. I never told him to stop playing it just to slow down. Gave him millions of chances and you know what after giving him almost two years to come be with me, he never changed. Anyone else ex stop showering and eat at the computer, leave snot rags, old food and dishes by the computer because it was raid night?? I hate that game because I once loved that man and now he will never be with me again. So I moved away and continued my modeling career. I know how you feel, I'm sorry you lost your man over this game. Just think it was his loss.

so you went 5 years with a total nerd that doesn't appreciate you? YDI

wow and some women suck and that is all there is to it
