Sometimes we tend to be in despair when the person we love leaves us, but the truth is, it's not our loss, but theirs, for they left the only person who couldn't give up on them.
Make the effort and take the risk..

my friends got a million gold spread over his characters
he's been selling his gold @ around 10,000g for $50USD-$100USD
when i used to play the guy literally just sits at the AH buying and selling under priced items or clearing the auction house to "corner the market" all day
i ended up never seeing him, even if i would login to the game he couldnt read messages cuz he was just concentrated on the AH
At first I was like WTF that guy has serious problems. And then I thought..
Imagine if you spent the last 5 years building the car of your dreams, restoring it, painstakingly taking care of every detail, ordering every part separtely, and working endless nights on it.
It's almost done then one night when you're out your girlfriend decides to smash it all up with a sledgehammer when you're gone because you're not 'spending enough time with her'.
You are in disbelief at what happened to the car and then you realized your GF fucked it all up. That is what that dude felt right there when he facepalmed before his epic RAGE. I would do the exact same thing.
My account was perma banned recently, i was accused of selling gold =/
Blizzard accused me of selling gold cause I was literally giving away tons of gold to some friends and guildies cause I had more than I could spend. I really didn't care that much. When I asked Blizzard what proof they had of me doing it, all they said was "in-game logs shows movement of bulk amounts of gold being given to others."
Blizzard doesn't give any proof at all, when you ask for proof they respond by saying they can't give out the proof due to security reasons. When you call them, the representatives you speak to over the phone don't have the power to help you resolve the issue, they force you to speak to the "Account Administration" department which can only be contacted through emails. Here's the problem, when you email them all they do is respond back to you with generic automated responses which don't help at all and obviously doesn't help resolve the issue. So I lost my entire account and there was LITERALLY nothing I could do about it.
I lost 7 level 80's (highest level possible) with 6200+ gearscore, my main with 6400GS (fairly high), 300k gold leftover.
It's a shitty feeling for essentially being punished for something I didn't do. Lesson learned, most of the shit you buy from Blizzard, in the terms of service and the license agreement shit it states you don't actually own anything you buy from them and they can take it away from you without any explanation at all =/

The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place... and I donīt care how tough you are, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently, if you let it. You, me or nobody, is gonna hit as hard as life. But ain't about how hard you hit... It's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward... how much you can take, and keep moving forward. Thatīs how winning is done. Now, if you know what you worth, go out and get what you worth. - Rocky Balboa

although i don't agree with spending this kind of time on a game, i completely agree with your analogy.
i would go apeshit if a girl ruined either one of my cars out of spite.
