Robert Cushnie, 42, had happily shared his home with a giant model of an Orc - a creepy character from a computer game - for six years.
But his Canadian spouse Dee, 42, warned that if he didn't ditch the gruesome creature, she'd move back to her homeland without him.
So now distraught Robert, of Aberdeen, has been forced to have his giant toy ADOPTED.
Last night the telecommunications manager explained "It came down to the wife or the Orc.

"She said there wasn't any room for him in our life. I've had him for six years but Dee means more to me, so he had to go."
Orcs are bloodthirsty warriors from the fantasy computer game World of Warcraft.
And Robert was thrilled when he landed his life-sized metal and plastic figure from a Falkirk toy shop that shut down.
But he and Dee, who married last February, will move to Canada later this month - without the Orc.
Dee said: "I just don't like it. I'm only 5ft 3in, so it towers over me, which is quite creepy."
The Orc has found a new home in Aberdeen with Michael Thomson, 61, and wife Patricia, 55.
And their granddaughter Kimberlea Logie, 16, is already a fan.
Last night Patricia said: "We wanted him because he's so unusual. Our grandkids love him."
Robert said: "I'll miss him - but I'm glad he's gone to a good home."
