Actually, I was referring to the fact that Ted won't be able to see his girlfriend again if she fails because she wanted her adventures to have real-life consequences.
Ishtar decided that her adventures should have real consequences; Ted decided to follow a code of honor that made keeping him away from her possible.
If he hadn't, the Machines would presumably have found something else to use for stakes.
Though he feels honor-bound because feeling that way is important to him, not because he would actually have to follow that requirement.
And he wouldn't necessarily have feel bad about not seeing her, depending on the settings he's chosen.
