So I have a hobbie and my hobbie is playing WOW, its great for something to get away with and I do have an 80 and one of the main healers in my raid guild, we are almost finished clearing 25 man. We raid a lot and usually the raids and what not gearing up my character has been getting between me and my GF. Today I think was the last straw when she came over and she was kissing on my neck and what not and I told her could she atleast give me 30 mins, because we were in the middle of a boss fight.
She got mad and left she said this was the last straw it was either her or the game, what do i do?
...Did you press the "cancel account" button yet, Ozarumon?
Why not? It isn't like you can't reverse the decision at any time you'd like. Just "cancel account" just to see what happens. What do you have to lose?

No, some of us are just resistant to "the whip". Hey, when I was a young guy, I gave up shit for chicks too...and regretted it later when the bitch was gone. Sometime in my mid 20's I realised that women LOVE to try to control you, and LOVE to try to see what they can get you to sacrifice for them, and do for them.
So I turned the tables.
And I've been a lot happier since. If a woman doesn't accept me for me, then she can GTFO. There are PLENTY more where that came from, and you can fnd one that shares your interests and won't try to manipulate you.
I have a wedding band to prove it.
QFT.
All these young guys spouting off about how ' GF is always > gaming' make me chuckle.
It totally depends on the girl.
Before I met my wife, I had plenty of girlfriends that weren't worth logging out of game for. Poontang is nice, but once you young blokes level up your charm skills enough to where you can get it on a regular basis (and thus, not let the prospect of it control the rest of your life) you'll be a lot happier. Until then, women own you, lol.

Why were you with girls that werent worth logging out of game for? I would sure save myself time and hassle to even start relationship with someone so worthless.
So what exactly wedding rings prove btw? I have 2 and might in due time get a 3rd one though I think I will spare the poor guy and decline. Could go around bragging with them tho, if you guys explain what do they actually prove...
My thoughts on the subject - if your game interferes with your relationship, either the relationship is not good enough for you or you are not good enough for it; either way its best to cut lose.

Dude I had a g/f the love of my life actually who hated EvE with a passion!! never wanted me to play it or Wow for that matter untill her son started playing. I stopped playing EvE lost standing with my game friends because of it.
She is gone but the games still play on. and I found a girl friend that plays games.
In my opinion Girls come and go.....but games live on. if she has an issue with you playing? kick her to the curb because she knew you played comming into the relationship if you change for her than you not the person she fell in love with. and you will find some one that accepts you for who you are.
Dude unless she looks like Jeri Ryan and screws like a 1200 dollar a night hooker dump her.....there are plenty of gamer chicks out there that won't make you choose.
No game is worth a decent girl. Now if she is just the current flavor of the month then just move on to next month's flavor. Either that or just learn to move things around so she gets what she needs and you can get back to gaming. I don't have to worry about it I've been married almost 10 years gaming is about all the enjoyment I am going to get. There are only so many trips you can take down a road before you can do it in your sleep.
Either find someone who likes the same hobbies as yourself or quit gamming. Pretty simple. My wife doesn't game so I got her interested in photography... problem solved... now she is preoccupied when I'm ready to go out...
Originally posted by Ozarumon Yea you all are right talking to you guys got me thinking I am way to addicted to this game and itis consuming my life. Its not just her either its work, school, friends etc.
Heres the thing, your all into raiding and raiding in and of itself is pointless.
Ask yourself why your raiding.
And if your raiding to get more gear to raid to get more gear...<--see how thats a endless loop?
My advice, join a good guild where raiding isnt there life, where you have sufficient enough free time to spend with your cute girlfriend.
That way you can sort of have your cake and eat it too.
Only you can decide that but personally I'd take the girl over a game any time! Don't see why you can't reach a compromise though. Cut down on your gaming time so you can spend more time with her. If your guild mates complain, just ask yourself who is better off - you in the arms of a girl or them gripping a mouse...

My girlfriend decided to break up with me around 10 a.m. the morning of the 4th.
I lean towards the MMO...
Ouch...I'm sorry to hear =( I haven't read through the entire thread, but perhaps you should try to find a girl that shares more of your hobbies. I know if my bf ever told me him or WoW, I'd be pretty upset too lol, but he's a gamer like me.
Originally posted by Elitekill4 Real Life should come before gaming but as Tutu said, you should try and find a partner that has a common ground with you (in this case, MMOs).

My girl is a gamer , go find a girl that games just like you , and i bet you will have no problems. Even if
WWIIOnline The Real War!
Depends.
If I ever caught my husband playing WoW I would throw him and that crap out of the house.
Her, obviously. That's a COMPLETE no-brainer.
maybe rehab

if she is a millionare, stop playing lol, otherwise, dump her!
No girl deserves to put up with someone like you so my recommendation is to split up. You'd be doing her a huge favor.
