Video games or love?

A 35-year old woman came to me seeking advice. She told me that her 25-year old boyfriend of several years had become heavily addicted to the video game “World of WarCraft.” She felt he was sacrificing time with her in order to play his game.
After a few months of this, she decided to give him an ultimatum. He either had to give up the game or she would give him up. He tried to talk her out of it, made all sorts of promises about cutting back on the game and spending more time with her. But she was adamant. She wanted him to give it up completely.
So after a few days of avoiding her, he made his decision. He went back playing “World of WarCraft,” and she was without a man in her life.
I told her that she shouldn’t have been so greedy and demanding and it costs her.
Was I right and she made a mistake in trying to force her man to do something he didn’t want to? Or did she have every right to try and split her former boyfriend up from his true love, a video game?

    LOL. Well, I do not know if she can get called a Cougar just yet. She is more of a cougar in waiting. But she does seem to be on her way, quickly.
