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?

 

Do what every guy with selfrespect does when it comes to chicks: LIE

Apologise, say you are done with MMORPGs, have make up sex and do it anyway behind her back.

If that doesnt work then dump her and find a more understanding chick. Don't let a girl dictate to you what you can and cannot do. If you do then she will carry your testicles in her bag for the rest of your life.

However, just dont dump her without trying to both eat the cake and have the cake (when it comes to chicks). If she is really hot then take a break from MMORPGs, sleep with her alot until you are sick of her, then dump her and go back to MMORPGs while at the same time looking for a new one. :)

This, my friend, is why we don't have nice things in life anymore.

Frat boys...

No.  You are wrong here.  Everyone here hate lies, but there are moment where is teh only thing that work with chicks.  Most chicks have some problems (don't like his body, need a extra effort to feel are loved, etc..)  so you have to work extra to feed his ego.   Soo much that balance is broken, and you end feeding his ego with your ego, that on the long term is a bad thing for she, for you, and for the couple. So lyiing here and there helps, you can still feed his ego and still have yours.

Hmm, girlfriend of game, hard question... Not.

You just have to choose the thing you love most, and if it is Wow you are actually scaring me.

Talk to her and promise that you wont play Wow when she is around. Gaming is fun, love MMOs but there are more important things in life. Do you really think you would look back to now in 20 or 30 years and wishing you choosed Wow?

Of course, I am not a hardcore player. ladies and partys are more important to me, I usually throw in 2-4 hours after work on weekdays. But playing a bit is fine, just like watching Tv or whatever. However it is just a waste of time, a fun waste of time but still a waste of time. And either you have to learn manage your time or you will end up like some of my sadder friends, that don't have time for anything 'cept gaming and got dumped by thier GFs/wifes.

If she ask "I am fat?" what will be your reply?

 

Depends on how fat she is. We are on agreement, that we both need to lose some junk and doing it together.

Oh, and stuff like this? Social norms passwed from generations of retardation. If we want to evolve as society, we need to get past it. Parents and school are more guilty og this, than anything.

EDIT: A direct quote from her: "If you  barely know her, then just tell "yes". If you love her, be polite, something akin to "you're beatiful as is, but you need to lose weight". If she truly cares about you, as well, she won't take offence, even in you simply say "yes", otherwise you shouldn't care."

 

Would anyone take advice from MMORPG.com seriously? I hope not. Anyways, why not throw in my two coppers, everyone else did.

If you have to ask, it's time to cancel your subscription and take a break from MMORPGs.

I think the addictive quality of MMORPGs is not so much that they are just awesomely fun, but that they can be mindless stress releivers.

The problem is, you can't put them on pause like a good DVD, which can also be a good stress reliever.

If it was a solid social game like FFXI I would say screw the girl, but WoW seriously?  It's like bypassing a weekend of dining at 5* restaraunts and staying in penthouse sweets and stuff over going to Disney Land for 4 hours and seeing everything there is to see.

Quit wasting your life with that shallow turd of a game. 

Human contact is so 80's man! Join the digital revolution and sit back in your chair and let the pixels do the work!

Cheers!

Lol thanks guys :D

mm i bet she does that only when your in a big game of wow lol, i doubt shes like that if your not on the keyboard

best advice make a schedule ,i know it suck but if you want to keep your job your gf and wow

you ll have to schedule do the scheduling with her so that she dont feel bossed around once the couple schedule and work schedule is done try to add wow

if shes understanding you shouldnt have big issue unless you raid more then once a day then you got a problem

my advice skip raiding,one day on raid one day off cause no mather how you look at it raid are a big time consumer

It is just a game...and not a very good game.  I mean if you are willing to give up a woman like that for boring repetative raids and pvp you may be the dumbest man alive.  But, if you do happen to be the dumbest man alive...give her my number :-)

Lol Yes she does, any time I am in a important raid it seems like shes in the mood. its a conspiricy against me lol

Comes down to what you want out of life.

I was in a similar situation i guess but not with gaming but study/work/ambitions and wanting to reach higher goals in my career. Im only 21 and i know i have a long life ahead of me and know that when i get where i want in my career it will settle down and i can concentrate more on the now.

Me and my gf had a great relationship but seeing i worked and studied alot, things started going downhill abit and our converstations, spending time together was getting together. She was 29 and her priorities were different, she already had her career undersway and was slowly gearing up for children and future of us being together. I loved her and wanted to be with her but i saw what i was doing to do, lack of spending time and communicating with her and i could tell that it would just get worse when i continue to push my goals to where they are. So i broke it off, it was the hardest thing in my life, this was a few weeks back and im still abit upset but i know it will be the best for both of us.

Things have gone much better for me though for my studies and working, can concentrate and do what i can now to pursue my goals.

Also, there is a sense of freedom i guess again.

The thing is that, even if you care for the person and either you cannot make time for her, or visversa and you know you might be hurting her, then maybe its best to break it up.

You could also try talking to her and advise her of that you have specific gaming needs that have to be met for your daily intake of fun/entertainment - what is her hobby? Relate to her hobby for examle, maybe shopping, or the gym or something. Say this is your time and when its your time you would like to have it that way.

Saying that, sometimes you should take the time to move aside your hobby and spend time with her. I took time away from study and my hobby (what is sport 4 nights a week) to be with her, but i just couldnt keep it up.

I guess what im trying to say is that try and talk to her, convince her that you would like her to respect your interests and when you take the time to do them. Also respect hers aswell in return. Otherwise if she is looking for a greater relationship and you are not willing to commit, then give it up, because she might not be saying it but might she could be hurting inside because of it, i dont know - i dont know how good your relationship is. Look in your heart and see what you want now, and in the future because eventually a decision will have to be made by yourself and or her.

Hope that helped and sorry i didnt read through all the posts!

Get off the game man, my bet is you spend more time on WoW then with your girl.  There is a time and a place for everything, if your ignoring her for  video game entertainment then she deserves better then you.  IMO you need to get your priorities in line.

Ive lost someone i cared about very much over an addiction to SWG many many years ago, i ignored all the warning signs untill it was to late.  You dont sound like you have a healthly gaming habit... 

Your going to be mistaken if you thinkg any women is going to put up with this type of thing unless shes a fellow gamer as well.  Anyone who cares for you will support a health habit, but not obession.

I didn't read the whole thread but if she's not a gamer then yes actually it might be. It's highly possible she finds your game threatening, just like how girlfriends find their boyfriend's close female friend(s) really threatening... My husband's ex-girlfriend was not a gamer and she used to have serious tantrums when he got up at night to play video games, 'cause that's the only time he got enough peace and quiet to game.... She'd wake up and yell at him and say he was probably more attracted to the game then her... lol....

Women will wig out at things that take away attention from them, the only way to alleviate that is make them like what you like... Or at least point out they have a hobby that takes away attention from you. If she doesn't have one, she needs one. So that when you're raiding she's not all alone feeling pathetic and is busy doing her own thing.

Clingy is not sexy girls.

*blink* *blink* are  you serious.....you said you are 25 and you had a girl kissing on you, if you guild doesn't understand the answer is simple FAKE DC pull your internet cord from your PC and go get ya some!

RL> WOW

POON> ALL

Depends on what you want. Marriage material you cant lie to, because that wont work in the long run. However gfs, that you just want to have casual sex with, anything goes.

relationships are overrated, unless your gonna marry her.. be single and have fun

 This is teh internet.  Sarcams don't work here. The proper way do do sacasm on the internet is using the standard </sarcasm> tag.

Point 1: you've got a serious gaming addiction to WoW, which you've admitted. For your gf, unless she's experienced it, no amount of explanation is going to make her understand. One solution is try to include her in your gaming "hobby". I started by watching my bf play. The visuals were what attracted me the most. I then experimented with a character that I created. It wasn't long before, I had my own account and my bf and I were playing together. *I was a bigger addict than my bf*

Point 2: game or girl depends are your priorities. Anyone with a heart can understand why she's angry. She wants to spend time with you, and you are telling her that your game is more important. Adding insult to injury is the fact she's wanting to horizontal tango, and still you are blowing her off. If you want to stay with her, then at least talk to her about the relationship. Find out what she needs to feel loved, and fit that into your lifestyle. If you think it's not worth the effort, then break it off now and focus on raids. Regardless what road you take, march with confidence knowing that you will no longer be conflicted on this issue. FYI, any future prospects may or may not take your gaming addiction in the same way, so be prepared.

Point 3: girl in the mood but not turning you is very ironic to me. For most men, they have the opposite problem. Consider yourself lucky that you've had this girl (at all), and count your blessings the next time she nags at you.
