It's people who act that way that makes guilds hesitant to recruit couples. My boyfriend and I have been raiding together since Wrath, but I would never pull that kind of "it's either both if us or neither of us" bullshit. Our current guild, that loves us both, even admitted when we applied that they were skeptical of taking both of us on due to previous couple-related drama. :/
In the specific above case, it sounds like the players lying and saying they were fine with it one way and then getting butthurt when the officers actually enforced that was the heart of the issue, not really the fact that they were a "couple".
I hate that couples have this stereotype that they'll always cause problems.
Yep, I've been denied from potential guilds in the past because they automatically assumed couples = drama and didn't even bother offering us a trial membership. -.-;;
As bad as it sounds, it might be the warlock's girlfriend who got upset about it in the first place, which is awful. I mean he might have said it was okay without actually talking to her about it. (Not that he should have to talk about that with her. -_-) But he'd get no quarter from me acting like that, I can assure you. Yuck.
I hope you can find someone to take their spot. :)
I was going to say that while it could be very likely he agreed to anything just to get in, it's also very likely he agreed figuring his girlfriend would be okay with it all and then she pitched a fit.
All the same, acting the way he did? Absolutely not cool. My old guild on Stormrage became very wary of accepting couples into the guild who wanted to raid before LFR/10 mans because we got so many of them who were like, "Well, if my partner can't come, then I'm not going to go!" :/
When the GF apped to the guild - I had the same conversation with her. 1) There are NO open raid spots. 2) If there is an open raid spot, it will likely be a different team as I don't pair couples together in one group.
She said - that's fine! I just want to hang out in the same guild as my BF and I'll sub as needed.
That being said - when we've needed a sub, she was never on....
Don't you just love it when people think so highly of themselves that they believe they wont get shown the door when they make ridiculous demands? Even if his girlfriend suddenly changed her mind like some people suggested, tough titties if he plays along with it.
That's so stupid, I hate that package deal crap too.
We've had a couple of ones in our guild, one that ended horribly, another that's been fine. Boyfriend's our raid leader, and I worried a little people would think that of us, but we're super chill about it. I have a much busier schedule than his, and if I had to stop raiding it wouldn't be a problem.

We have success stories that are couples and package deals - but the explosive failures are enough to make us never do it again.
