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?

 

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. 

 

The first mistake humanity made, was separating "chicks" from "people".

I would rather date brains, thatn a pair of boobs, thank you.

*Enjoying a steady relationship for 4 years now, never resorting to lying.

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.

give us the picture of this gal first if you want our advice. then we can tell you what has better graphics

and seriously, there are much more sweet girls than sweet mmos, dont give up your dreams for some other human

i am drunk while writing this but alcohol provides true wisdom, believe me.

btw wow sux asssssssssss, but still if u enjoy it that much, there are plenty of gals playing it. my friend and his wife do nothing but play wow all the time. this is perfect marriage. if she cannot accept you whole...well, hasta la vista baby

 Hmmm so lets weigh your options here

Option #1: A real life girlfriend who you can have sex with who's not some cartoon pixel vixen.

or

Option #2: An over rated kiddie game thats so easy a caveman can play it.

I'd go with option one hands down,  because there is always the chance later down the road she could become interested in mmo's. In any case the fact you came on a forum like this to ask a question that you should be able to answer on your own is pathetic. I'm guessing you have no real life friends you could be asking this question too that your here asking it to total strangers which the majority will probably say pick the game over the girl. These kinda addictions tear apart relationships, marriages, families in a heartbeat, i know i went through it with my wife. And trust me, it's not an easy thing to do to walk away from someone you love because they think gaming is more important then their husband and family. If you love her, give up mmo's or cut back on your playing time, if she means that much to you, you will have no problem doing this. If you don't love her, then you should let her go and not drag her through this any longer, remember, she is a person and has feelings too.

On a side note, i like the fake DC idea someone stated in a post, worked well for me on many occasions when i needed to step away from the computer.

Conclusion, online mmo's are fun, i myself play them on my free time, but in the end they are just a game and are far less important then real life.

hmm...I wonder if they made up already??...but coming from a girl...if it is just a hobby then it is just a hobby...all of my boyfriends have had hobbies whether it be painting/gaming/hunting you name it...and I was not a part of any of it...and our relationships were fine in that aspect...Ive always been a gamer and they have always respected that but mark my words if  one of my past  boyfriend's hobbies had prevented them from spending time with me...or turning me down for sex (come on guys really?!) ...that is a problem that needs real help and I would have moved on real fast to find another man to satisfy me...so put it into perspective...if you want to be with her...then you need to make time for her...simple as that

If the game is coming before any real life relationship then you need to seek help or quit playing cold turkey.  Or, if you are young, maybe you just don't need a girlfriend at your age.  Part of a relationship is meeting your significant other half way.  If you are too self-absorbed playing a game then you shouldn't be in a relationship.

Bottom line:  Get realistic with your priorities, or get a girlfriend willing to throw away half her life for a game.

P.S.  As a guy who has been married for over 20 years, I find it perplexing that any male would choose playing WoW over some nookie.  When I was your age I couldn't think of anything OTHER than getting my girlfriend (now my wife) alone.  Honestly, I just don't get the problem here... Times have changed this much?

 Easy cut back on the game and go after the girl.  Real life should always come first and this is a prime example of why i hate raiding.

i wholeheartedly agree as dude I play and love games and MMO, but maybe its just me, but a game raid takes a back seat to my girls hoohah yearning my attention. i can always do another raid lol. be like uh guys.....sorry to say this, but im demanded in the bedroom by my girl. ill catch u guys later lol. maybe its because although i love games, i love sex more lol, a girl need but drop a shoulder off her bra and give me that look and im like a giggling with glee all the way to the bedroom after my girlfriend in anticipation of the wacky sexual misadventures I will endure.

Maybe you should keep playing WoW since you are doubting between "A Game" and a RL Girl. And maybe You are too few for Her.

You just don't deserve that girl.

But seriously....stop playing when She's at home, You are gonna screw things up. And when She get tired of Your shit....She's gonna run in other man's arms and You're gonna have to masterbate with Your WoW chars+ feeling like shit cause this was all Your Fault.

Games come and go, so do girls...but scars are not worth the shit.

Lay down the law. She can either accept you for who you are, or you can go find someone who does.

I'm a miserable prick, and a gamer besides. And even I have managed to find women who can accept me for me.

But I'll tell you man....I was married to my first wife for over a decade...if you let them walk on you, you will be nothing but a floormat to them for the rest of your miserable relationship, and you will spend your time resenting them, and finding reasons not to go home....to work late, hit the bar with your buds, whatever.

In my second marriage now, going on three years, and I can say that telling her upfront at the beginning "I am who I am, love it or leave it" was the best thing I could have done. She plays some games with me, and others she at least takes an interest in.

Fuck at least I don't come home from work, plunk my ass on the couch and drool at the TV like most American men my age.

If you're even asking this question then you clearly aren't good enough for her or any girl.

Save the human race, don't procreate.

I think the problem, here and in loads of other relationships is that our hobby is not taken seriously by others.

If our hobby was sports orientated, for example then others would not be so critical about it. It is view by others as "just a game", but as we all know it is slightly more than that to say the least.

This is where the conflict lies. The perception of seeing a load of cartoon chars running around on screen can not convey how serious, addictive and enjoyable an MMO is.

In a balanced relationship each member of the relationship must be truly independent and not require the other to exist. Any leaning of one on the other results in stress, may not at the beginning of a relationship but later on, when this stage is reached the cracks will start to show. Does not really matter if it is a game or another hobby or work. This is where alot of relationships break up.

Others learn to live with the stress for one reason or another, which is ok depending on the lvl of the stress.

My advice to the op is to make time for your GF, dont give up your raiding until you want to as this will make you unhappy. But there is a need to have a GF, as we all know, and there is a need to engage in things that you enjoy, finding that balance that keeps you and her happy is the solution. If a balance cannot be found then you may have to find a new gf.

Why choose when you can have your cake and eat it too?  Just learn some discipline and prioritize all the aspect of your life.  When similar situation happen to me, I simply let my guild mates know of the situation and log.  Play WoW to your heart contend but just drop it when ever she request it.

IF you where a good enough boyfriend to her on all other occasions, she WILL let you have your time to do what you like

The only reason she reacts like this is because you are NOT lookin after your woman properly dude, you should. :)

I have tried both, when i was younger i played too much, and didnt give a fuck about my GF back then, basically that screwed over the relationship. Problem with games like wow, is that it works sort of like an addiction, and you just dont see that you are infact neglecting your girlfriend

Trust me dude, women, alltho complicated beeings, and much smarter than we are, they are simple in that way.

Give her enough love, make her know for sure that you love her, dont always only do things for her or with her after she had to ask you several times, do it by yourself, act like a man, show her love, then, she will give you all the time in the world for your hobbies.

My Experience anyways :)

EDIT: But dude, if you have to ask this question, i think your relationship is dead. If you love your GF, then you wouldnt even think like this at all.

It really depresses me that people like you exist.

RL comes first, always.

Real life...Games are games...They dont go nowhere....But life keeps moving....I am 17 I dont let no game get in my way...Enjoy life games give no benifits to you.

Getting laid>games

If you need to ask this, you have 1 of 2 serious issues..

1. You are way to addicted to video games.

2. You need a new girlfriend.

My take on this: If she loves you, she needs to let you have your hobbies. But you need to be understanding to her feelings too, so maybe set a time limit or something so that you spend time with her and you have your freedom to play WoW.

I'm so glad I don't have this problem. My boyfriend plays WoW and I game too, playing WoW or other games. So... we have that in common. :P

No game should ever come b4 a relationship. BOTTOM LINE!!!

You let a game get between you and your girlfriend.

Details don't matter. The simple fact is

YOU LET A GAME GET BETWEEN YOU AND YOUR GIRLFRIEND.

I hope to God she finds someone that will treat her right, who she can flaunt in your face over and over again. You'd deserve it for the simple fact that you.... oh to hell with it. Not even worth repeating.

dude, once you get older you will realise that this is not always the case.

I mean, I'm into the girl I'm married to now, but as far as sex goes...I've "been there, done that". One more orgasm isn't necessarily worth bailing on my guild in the middle of a raid, or whatever. I'll tap her when I come to bed, or in the morning.

Thing is, if some chick is trying to make you choose between you and your pasttime, she's trying to manipulate you. She's cracking the whip.

Fuck that. Don't let a woman walk all over you. Besides, if you give up what you love for her, you'll just resent her later anyway, and she will never respect you. Maybe if you show her that you don't play that way, she'll realise that if she wants you, she needs to accept you for you.

You kida make me laugh though, when you think that a piece of ass > all. hehehe.
