Gamers gonna game

Today, my boyfriend told me he wouldn't be able to cover his share of the rent because he didn't work during the week, saying business has been slow. I checked and found out he called in sick four times. He wanted to stay home and watch online gaming matches. FML

Same thing different taste

Today, my boyfriend wanted me to sleep over at his house. Then he found out that it was that time of the month for me, so he told me that he had to work this weekend and said "see you sometime next week." He doesn't have a job. FML

Today, my boyfriend called work because he is sick. Then he called me 4 times while I was working, to complain that I was working, and then he got mad when I told him I was sick and worked a double shift 2 days in a row, apparently that is insensitive of me. FML

Today, I was feeling sick, so I called my boyfriend who lives down the street to come and keep me company. He replied with, "no, I can't come over, I'm busy, I'm playing xbox." FML

Today, my boyfriend took a day off from work because he felt "sick". I thought he might come see me since he hadn't come over in a while. Nope, he went to hang out with his ex instead. FML

Today, my boyfriend told me he was going to take me out somewhere special, so I called in sick for work. Turns out he had made reservations for the restaurant I worked at. FML

On call

By Anonymous - 19/10/2019 16:00

Today, my boyfriend accused me of not coming home at all last week. The truth is, I was up and gone to work before him every morning, and I was home after he went to bed. He didn’t even bother talking to me or asking where I was last week, we both work 24/7 on-call jobs, and he knows this happens sometimes. FML

Heated gaming moment

By Anonymous - 15/02/2017 22:00 - United States - Columbia City

Today, I went to my boyfriend's house after working a night shift. The door was locked and, so I wouldn't wake his parents, I called him. Twelve times. Each call went to voicemail and I was left standing outside in the freezing rain until he finally let me in. What was he doing? Playing video games. FML

Today, I woke up feeling awful, having caught the same illness my boyfriend had last night. When he was sick, I skipped my friend's baby shower to take care of him. Now that I'm sick, he goes to a friend's place, says to call if I need him, then turns his phone off. Seriously. FML

Today, I was told I'm lazy by my boyfriend because I skipped work. He skips his all the time and when I get home still have to cook and clean up after him. FML

One: because it's about rent. Homie don't play no games with money. Two: she was curious to see. Maybe he's pulled the same thing before.

If someone chooses MLG over your living space then it's time to choose someone better over his lazy ass

Kick his lazy ass to the curb. Maybe his momma will let him stay with her. Or not..

You may want to reiterate the greater significance of paying for housing and other important things in comparison with watching games.

Kick him to the curb? No way. You should offer to pay his share of the rent, stock the fridge with beer, the cupboards full of snacks. This man has his priorities set to perfect. And would it kill you to make him a sandwich?

He stayed home and WATCHED online gaming? He didn't even play, but WATCHED!? Is watching others play really that entertaining?

My husband likes watching the pros play because he studies their techniques. However, he has never missed work or school for it.

There's a whole world of professional gaming you don't know about :P World gaming championships with multi-million dollar prize pools.. It's more entertaining than you'd imagine. It's like doing sports vs watching sports, both are entertaining in their own ways

Sounds like you need to find a better roommate and boyfriend. He had no trouble lying to you and being irresponsible. Doesn't sound like good boyfriend material. You deserve better!
