"Ditch the Orc Or I'm Moving to Canada"

If she is willing to throw away a marriage because of a hunk of plastic sitting in the house, I don't forsee it lasting much longer even with the orc gone. She'll just make up some other excuse to leave him.
And he needed to man up and call her ultimatum. If she leaves, then obviously she wasn't worth the time.

Well, it worked out I guess.
To play Dr. Phil annon of the infowebz:
To me, if an argument or relationship comes to ultimatium like that, I just have to wonder about the relationship itself. Especially since she knew about it for a while. You don't go into a relationship, especially a marriage, expecting someone to change.
There's no compromise, there's no alternatives, it essentially gives the person making the ultimatum complete control, and that isn't healthy. I can see it being necessary for things that are harmful to one or both parties; abuse, addiction; etc, but it "just creeps (her) out". You could put it in storage, you could put it in a room that she doesn't use frequently (like a game room maybe). An "This or the Relationship" ultimatum is also an indicator that the person making the ultimatum is willing to sacrifice the relationship. If someone is willing to sacrifice a relationship over something that "just creeps (them) out", I wonder how much value they place in the relationship. More likely, hopefully, it was a bluff; she wouldn't have ended the relationship if he didn't get rid of it, but she threatened him with it to get her way.
Any way you slice it, it doesn't sound like a healthy relationship.
But that is just based on this one incident reported on the internet.

Because he had it when she married him. It's one thing if he just suddenly came home with it one day, but she knew he had it the entire time. You don't marry a guy with a dog, then suddenly tell him the dog's gotta go. That's just unfair and unreasonable.SextusMaximus said:
She's a horrible wife. Granted, it's her house, too, and she shouldn't feel uncomfortable in it, but let him put the orc someplace she won't go, like his man-cave or the basement or the garage.
LOK'TAR OGAR!!! THAT ALLIANCE TRAITOR WONT ALLOW AN ORC WITH THE CURSE OF FLESH INTO HER HOME? BLASHPHEMY! FOR THE HORDE!!!
Ugh, Tough choice. I would have had to sleep on it....of course if I did that, I proably would have woken up to an angry wife smothering me with a pillow.
I'd be pissed off.
Make me choose between you and my addiction to crack (just for example), and I'll understand. That's a real problem that you'll feel in your daily life, it'll threaten our combined security and so on...
Try to ultimatum me over something trivial and I'll assume you think nothing of the relationship. You'll be out on your ass quicker than you can say "Zug zug".

Nice story, good to see people validating world of warcraft in my mind as it is to me. A social experience with a good gaming aspect to it. Heck people pay more to go to a club and get wasted. Atleast I have more brain cells.BlueInkAlchemist said:

Hehehehe, I like to say this to everybody I see complain about the idiotic "youth" in WoW. THEYRE ON BOTH SIDES MANNNNNNNNN. Plus worgen are awesome. Period.HUBILUB said:
What woman doesnt like cats? Theyre so cute!!!!!!!!!!!!Amnestic said:
OT: To be honest, I love ze world of warcrafts and that was there before her. Seniority is a dangeous thing when thrown out the window. But that statue may be a little creepy(from the standpoint of tiny children and non nerd women), but couldnt that guy come to a comprimise with her? Put the statue in a remote place in the house and let it out of her face?
Hate to say what most people have said here but..."Dont date a guy with a dog, keep dating him, marry him, THEN tell him the dog has to go. Better late than never, but your just a *****."
Oh I forgot LOK'TAR OGAR. Sorry couldnt resist
And she doesnt complain about the iron man statue in back ground?! Someone must be sleeping with Tony Stark....
I have a room to myself (til any kids come along that is) that I can do whatever I want with and am currently in that room as I type this, and my wife gets the rest of the house to do what she wants with. I'm not saying I have anything in here like the Orc, it's actually pretty bare as far as decoration goes, but as long as the Orc is in my room, she can kiss my ass. Especially if I had that Orc in my room 6 years before we met. It's not like im planning on building the dining room around my 6' Orc center piece.
EDIT:
Yes, I want the Orc and I would have it in my room.
