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

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

Find a girl who wants to spend time with you regardless of your hobbies, just don't stand her up to play the game. That's being an adult right there

Don't do something you might regret later for someone who might not be there later- a good girlfriend would never ask you to delete something you put time and effort and money into, something you enjoy doing. A good girl would hop on and ask you to help her get started xD

there is no shame in this. i'm a female gamer with a gamer husband and got him into playing WoW with me despite him having a bad experience with it before and now he plays as much as I do because he quests right along with me. try doing the same with your girl. if she can't understand that and your WoW habit isn't truely interfering with your every day life then maybe you should look for a new girl.

Don't feel too bad, Op. You don't have to delete your toon. That's a lot of time and money spent. Just don't re-activate your account and your character will sit on the server until you go back on the game. Who knows? You might want to go back to playing WOW if things don't work out between you and your girl. Or maybe you can convince her to start playing with you? ;)

There's no reason why you have to give up your games. It doesn't mean you're immature or that they're more of a priority than her (written by a happily married with a baby, girl gamer). My games are how I relax! Nothing wrong with that.

I don't play WOW, but I am a gamer and I understand. You put countless hours into forging that character to what it is. In a way, it's almost like being asked to kill you're own child. I know a lot of people are gonna read this and think I'm nuts, but if they were to play it and have to do the same thing, they might have close to the same reaction

if you're a gamer and you have a girlfriend who doesn't want you playing video games, then she's probably not the girl for you. go find a girl who will play wow with you. they're out there.
