Make a hard choice between WoW and girlfriend

Recently i had a problem of being broken up with my girlfriend,
for i spend 3-4 hours on guild, starting Sunwell Plateau?it is more time than 2 hours before everyday.
so less and less time i spare with my grilfriend..
She think playing WoW stupid. I have a full-time job, and I made lots of friends on game that help
me forget troubles i have in work and life . what`s more, I am also a main healing in our guild.
my girlfriend asks me to make a choice between WoW and her. it is so hard for me to give up either one.
by way of squeezing 1 hour to hang with her, i have to quit daily quests which is my sources of economy.
Im a paladin on holy talent, so i have no gold to buy Consumables for raid.
but it is unacceptable that now my girlfriend asks me to quit WoW thoroughly. I feel like that I lost
basal freedom in my life, but I definitly know i love her very very much..
I`m so troublesome. is there anybody who can tell me what i should do?

LMAO If you choose a game over real life and most importantly love then your a fool.. I am sorry but games are just that a game.
You need help if you can't decide what to do! Wake up man!!

Its really pretty simple. Who would you rather spend the rest of your life with WoW or your girlfriend?
If your "married" to WoW then there really isn't any room in your life for a girlfriend so you might as well let her know now and save both of you alot of heartache.
I seriously didn't just read this... Are you kidding me? Neglecting real life for a stupid game? Ok... I'm going to humble myself before I say something I shouldn't. Just... yea... Get well soon buddy, get well soon.
I can't believe I read a question as stupid as that. Wait, I work in computer retail, so actually I can believe it. Siiigghhh...okay, well you should choose real life over a game...always. It's only a game. I love them myself, but I also know when to put it away and socialize with my real life friends.
I can see a problem here. It´s not just about WoW or real life, its about to live with a person who dictate what is "stupid" or not for you. I could have understand if she wanted you to spend less time with your hobby, but she just think it´s stupid, and therefore you should stop it. What happens next time you get yourself a hobby or spend a little bit to much time with your friends, or something else your GF find more stupid than spending time with her? You should ask yourself what kind of life you want to live, yours or your girlfriends.
I second that.
Explorer: 87%, Socializer: 60%, Achiever: 47%, Killer: 7%
If your asking the question, then you are really unsure if she is the person you want to spend the rest of your time with. You noticed, I did not say life just time. Simple, find a gamer girlfriend solves two problems at one time
DAoC SWG COH/COV WOW and waiting on AOC and WAR
If you are lucky enough to find someone who loves you, why ruin everything for a game?
Delete WoW from your hasrd drive (I know it s difficult) and try to patch up things with your squeeze.
If that doesn't work it maybe means she wasn t right for you, in which case you can start playing Wow again and maybe find a GF who enjoy MMO as well
your girlfriend isnt very understanding try to come to a agreement with her do not let her dominate your life lol you should have a mutual relationship but if she dosent stik with girlfriend all the way
It seems to me that there's more to it than just a choice between WoW and your girlfriend. If WoW is just a game to you, the choice would seem obvious. But if the game has turned into a way of coping with the issues of your life, a sort of self-medication, then no amount of being told "it's just a game", "get a grip" or "vagina wins" is going to help you. Nor will quitting WoW and subject to your GF's wishes for that matter.
So my advice would be to take a deep look at why you play WoW. Why you feel like you must do your dailies. Why it's so important to you to be there for your guild. Perhaps you are trying to forget about your problems by getting so deeply involved with WoW that you have no time to think about them? Or perhaps you value your importance to your guild so much because you don't feel you have any importance in real life? Could it be that you find socializing so much easier in WoW, whereas trying to socialize in real life is difficult, maybe even stressful to you?
The list is long and it's easy to get deeply involved in WoW without there being any serious problems other than your virtual life might be more exiting than your real life. You know, the daily grind of living. But please give it some thought. Ignoring problems won't make them go away and if there's more to it than WoW being an awesome hobby, then you need to work on that.
I'm a big ol' fluffy carewolf. Be afraid. Be very afraid.
Well dude, I'm going to be brief...
It seems that hte problem is your girlfriend. She obviously doesn't understand your needs. I mean think about it, first its wow, then what? Eating? Will she tell you to eat less, because you spend so much time eating? What about visiting your mother? Etc. ETC. Sounds to me you are just self concious and afraid you won't find someone else. Just break up witht eh girlfriend, she's probably already cheated on you anyways if she's said that, psychology 101, and find a new girl who plays wow.
If she's blonde then go for WoW. Btw, send me her pic and I will tell you.
We really need to know what kind of specimen we are talking about here. Is she good in the sack? Is she "agile"? And most importantly, you need to provide us some nude pics of her, so we can compare graphics
a woman that will dictate your life now will always try to dictate your life. this is not good at all. i am very fortunate as my woman makes sure i have my mmo's to play. she also understand that is a stress relief as well. if your woman can't see that your hobby brings you satisfaction. well that is her problem. only allow into your life what brings you satisfaction. if she don't fit that then it's better to move on. no woman is more important than my own happiness. find a better woman.

A wise man once told me "girlfriends come and go, epics are soulbound."
it's just a game. if wow is the biggest thing in your life that brings you happiness, then something is definitely wrong.
If you don't take care of your girlfriend, some other guy will.
Great thread. I am assuming this is a paradoy of WoW players and a brilliant one.
If by some chance this dude is serious. Then he needs to have his nuts removed by a rusty chains saw. We all know the answer. Anyone who would consider choosing a women over WoW is a nutless, whipped, girlieman. Finding love is easy. Dump the girl a good game is harder to find. Unless she pleasures you while you play WoW
then she is a keeper.
This is very true.
What's your girlfriends phone number btw?
Drop the game AND the girl. Go to a gym and get big arms. Find a better girl, haha.
spend some more time with the misses in teh bedroom, and lest time on azeroth. good luck 2 u my brutha :O
AWEG RJN
drop WoW. WoW lures you with carrots and then drags it out with lots of time. You can probably find better entertainment value outside of mmos and retain your gf. Ask yourself what you would miss from WoW, really?
I'd say relationship comes first than wow.
really hope this is a joke topic, there should be no other choice then your girl, this is a freaking game all these games on this site mean nothing, i wanted to bash a friends skull in because he let an mmo take over his life and almost lost his job and stuff, LIFE COMES FIRST, the game will be there, its not that important.
