Mai Waifu
Not even a missing dimension will keep you from your waifu!
Summary
Sometimes people get emotionally attached to people, places and various things. In this case, people have grown emotionally attached to a fictional anime character.
Origins
"Mai waifu" is a Japanese phrase meaning "my wife." It didn't gain any special meaning until an episode of Azumanga Daioh (a popular anime series) introduced the phrase to the English speaking crowd. From then on the phrase has become apart of the Otaku community as a way to refer to an anime character they have fallen in love with.
