Today, my husband of ten years was playing the Sims. I asked him about the house he built. Apparently, it was his dream house, and he recreated himself as a Sim so he could live in it. Then I asked him where the wife was. There was no wife. It was his happy place. FML
I agree, your life sucks (35440) - you totally deserved it (5912)

HHAHAHA DITCH THAT LOSER.
you dont deserve that! you should go make a fantasy house and fantasy boyfriend to make him jealous!! (:
He rules! It's obviously you who sucks since you are offended by a game.

Oh please, just because it's a domestic game doesn't mean that it's a domestic fantasy that he has built. Maybe he truly uses the game as a way to completely get away from EVERYONE. It's not like he replaced you with a stripper named Candi.
Everyone needs an escape, this could be like his forest of solitude.
I like that you spelt Candi with an i to avoid any confusion about her ever being anything other than a stripper :)

Ha! I'm a simmer myself, don't take it personally. He just needs some him time
#11 - On 05/31/2009 at 7:05pm by fireandice92
Why does he need a wife in his dream house? At least he didn't put a 'perfect woman' in it. Maybe this is his way of saying he needs you to back off and give him some alone time. I personally see nothing wrong with a wifeless house at all. If he'd made a perfect woman, then I'd be a little miffed, but since he didn't I suggest you not get offended by it.
Just wait till he adds his dream wife
That'll be something to FML about
#13 - On 05/31/2009 at 7:11pm by NoneOfTheAbove
Maybe if you didn't make life suck for him he wouldn't need to run off to a happy place. I bet you're going to spend some time nagging him about that.
wow all the way from poland.
anyways this is pretty funny
#15 - On 05/31/2009 at 7:14pm by goldberg2046
at least he's acting it out in a video game & not in real life.
#16 - On 05/31/2009 at 7:16pm by BethanyKimberly
so? okay, if youve ever played the sims, playing more than 1 character at a time pretty much completely SUCKS. so i get it. why would he want to control his wife in a game? and why would you care?
So what? I agree with #18
Would you rather he make some super hot chick who is the total opposite of you or something that dresses in sexy lingerie to bang him every night and gets him beer whenever he wants it while he sits in front of the TV watching games all day?
Yeah, didn't think so.
#21 - On 05/31/2009 at 7:22pm by genius_man16
It's just a game, not like it's gunna happen. You overreacted, unless you make big deals out of every little thing like this.
if you've been married for 10 years I'm going to assume you're at least in your 30's
so...I think the problem here is that your husband is playing the Sims
It's a game! So what? Have you ever played it? It's a lot easier and sometimes more fun having one sim, then having 2 or more.
Why would he make his Sim life the same as his real life? Wouldn't that be kinda pointless and boring?
#30 - On 05/31/2009 at 7:41pm by omgitsLindsay
eh, i wouldn't know myself but I suppose there is a time in a mans life when he relizes he would have been better off single. Still, its only a game...
#31 - On 05/31/2009 at 7:45pm by shadow_duv
Aww. That sucks :/
Maybe he just needs his guy time though (: I mean, he's been with you for 10 years, he might miss what it's like to be without a wife and put all of his imaginings into a game.
#34 - On 05/31/2009 at 7:55pm by Always_Abby
doesn't mean he doesn't want you around irl, he just wants some solitude
#35 - On 05/31/2009 at 7:55pm by oligopsony
Not necessarily the case that he doesn't want you around. He might just like being alone sometimes, or he might not want to bother to control more than one sim.
It's not like Sims are for kids.
#36 - On 05/31/2009 at 8:00pm by NotNegativeNews
At least he's doing it in a game, and not in real life.
#37 - On 05/31/2009 at 8:04pm by Blue_Coconuts
Well, if you don't have kids with him yet, don't rush to have a bunch to "bring you closer together", okay?
First of all, it's just a game. Don't take it personally.
Second of all, that's really, really funny from the outside looking in.
#39 - On 05/31/2009 at 8:14pm by DamienTheRabbit
From a 3rd person point of view, I could see why he did it. He is probably doing that "what if" scenario. It doesn't mean he regrets marrying you, just that he wonders what it could have been like. I always wonder what my life would be like now if I hadn't met my husband, but I would never trade my marriage for anything. To be honest though, I'd probably be pissed if my husband did that, too. LOL.
#40 - On 05/31/2009 at 8:16pm by Loverfli
Uhm...you're bitching about his Sims life? Remember, it's just a game.
Now if he were get rid of you in REAL life, that would be poopy.
#41 - On 05/31/2009 at 8:20pm by lolwut_fail
Sims 3 is coming out on Tuesday. You should make yourself in a bad ass house, without a husband, and be like, "There's no husband. It's my happy place."
#42 - On 05/31/2009 at 8:25pm by SiLveRStaRLIGHT
And you'd feel better if he had a sim of you that he could completely control with the click of a button? Its not like he sent a sim of you to die in a fire or something, get over it.
I have to agree with the age comments. I mean, it's pretty cool he plays the Sims- but doesn't he have something better to do?
#48 - On 05/31/2009 at 8:42pm by soccergirl37
that means you're doing somthing wrong!
w.e just unplug the computer and tell him to get a real life xD
#49 - On 05/31/2009 at 8:44pm by Smart_ass09
take it as a hint ?
they do warn you about marriage as the years go by..
#50 - On 05/31/2009 at 8:50pm by bella_brasil
at least he didn't make a Sim to represent you then kill it in a terrible way.
#53 - On 05/31/2009 at 8:54pm by FordPrefect
I agree with #52. When you're single, you long for a relationship. When you're in a relationship, you long for being single.
#54 - On 05/31/2009 at 9:20pm by Abood
for number 7 the sims isnt a way to escape and b free thats what weed is for every1 should do it look that shit up it aint bad for u jus dont do pills heroin etc jus weed i have no idea y i typed that cuz it has nothin to do with anything im high im bored im gunna go jack off
#55 - On 05/31/2009 at 9:22pm by slaveowner190461
Eh, don't take it personally. He probably just wants to escape from *everyone*, not just you.
#59 - On 05/31/2009 at 10:18pm by CyclonePsycho
It's his happy place to get away from you (his wife). Men have been doing that for decades now with golf and fishing. what the problem is?
We all need a place to get away from life sometimes. I wouldn't fret this too much unless he's being a dick in real life
#65 - On 05/31/2009 at 10:38pm by RunZoneFive
Amazing! Your husband is my new favorite person of the day lol. Ok it's sad, but I can't help but laugh.
well............... maybe he just needs a place of his own.... except it usually exists in the real world and not in a stupid video game..... i think youll solve ur problem if you just give him his own like "man cave" or something
#73 - On 05/31/2009 at 11:49pm by tomoturtle
there is not win for your husband there. I am sure that if he had made a wife you would probably be jealous of her, saying something like "he spends more time with her than me" or whatever. it's just a game, let your husband enjoy himself for pete's sake.
Well, to be fair, would your dream house feature your husband and all his stuff (like the ugly recliner, the messy tool room, the unorganized computer junk, the one room with the paint he chose, and/or the skid-marked underwear)? Besides, "happy places" are supposed to be solitary, otherwise that defeats the purpose.
#77 - On 06/01/2009 at 12:23am by snitcheyes411
Ah that's not that bad, don't take it too personally. It was his dream HOUSE, not dream LIFE. At least he didn't create a wife with his ex's name or something.
#78 - On 06/01/2009 at 12:25am by babydoll86
You way way deserved it!!!
You're probably a nagging annoying wife, not a loving, sexy kitten.
think about it
ahahahah he's so cute. I'm sure he loves you though, But think of it this way, would you prefer him having control on everything you do in a game? ;)
#83 - On 06/01/2009 at 1:50am by bosver
Well... apparently your relationship with him could use a little home improvement...
BTW every one knows men wish to frolic in the green pastures of immaturity, wrapped in the warmth of solitude embraced by stupidity. Men dream of living with in gold mansions plated in beer kegs and custom vaginas outfitted into the walls. Men dream of having a place away from the hormones of women, a place of serenity, solitude and social suicide. Trust me, its nothing to worry about.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
don't be silly hun. He obviouslly loves you because he's with you. :P He's prob just having fun. My girl friend always jokes that she thinks life would be easier without men and I jokingly agree. :P
really ?
Are you ok, instead of making you into a computer game character he spends his life with you ...
Im sure you are devastated.
Jesus christ, can't the man play a GAME without having to include an homage to you? Yeesh. Self-centered much?
thats funny as hell, BTW the sims 3 comes out in one day fuck yeah
#92 - On 06/01/2009 at 4:57am by davidmartindale
hahahaha.. and #91, SIMS 3 came out like last week and Im effin playin it rite now!! Created a dream house full of bitches
so he's not happy with you but he doesn't have the balls to leave. FYL indeed
#94 - On 06/01/2009 at 6:11am by gatita
Playing the Sims IS easier with just one person though.
#95 - On 06/01/2009 at 7:38am by Sgt_Schadenfreud
#93: Uh, I'm not really sure how you got it, but it officially comes out tomorrow...so #92 is right.
#95: Actually, I'd say it's easier with two -- assuming one of them doesn't have a job. Then you can take care of needs, the house, etc. while the other is at work. Beyond that, though, it is most definitely more difficult having more characters.
OP: The Sims is not supposed to be an exact replica of reality. If he had some whore of a girlfriend I might understand, but because he had NO wife? You take things way too personally if you're offended by the fact that your husband didn't put you into The Sims.
Given that you put something like this onto a website, I'm going to assume that, if there is a reason he didn't put you into the game, it's probably your fault. YDI.
Do the same to him. Let's see how HE feels.
Sorry bout that though. FYL.
#97 - On 06/01/2009 at 8:23am by neversaykoko
lol awsome id totaly do the same tbh i mean i like the GF alot but mu happy peacfull place would be alone. could totaly understand anyone else doing the same tbh
#98 - On 06/01/2009 at 8:32am by whereisbob
I think SIMS is generally creepy and people who take it seriously have issues coping with real life, but while I am of that opinion, this situation can go toward either extreme. Either he's trying to tell you something or it is nothing to worry over.
Regardless, it was pretty crap of him to say that it was his "happy place". Sorry you have such an insensitive partner.
#100 - On 06/01/2009 at 8:42am by Evilbeagle
I play sims and I would never put my husband in the game.
#101 - On 06/01/2009 at 8:50am by Ssmartasss
It's a game, so it's not supposed to simulate your marriage but offer an alternative. Don't get offended, it's just a gamers way. Most of the games don't involve wives or husbands and are not even meant to.
Why do you sometimes tell us where the FML's come from? Sometimes I think it is to show if they're probably fake i.e.: "Today I was walking around in public in my bikini top and it fell down OMG FML" from a very conservative arab country but I think they have Sims in Poland lol so is it just for added interest?
And OP that's sad but try not to make it mean too much about your marriage, he's with you IRL.
#105 - On 06/01/2009 at 9:58am by purple_sarah
Hey, my Sims 2 dream home involves me living with several women, one of whom is my wife. Does that sound better? :-)
Seriously though, that sounds like a joke I'd engineer just for my wife if I was him. Then again mine has a sense of humor.
#106 - On 06/01/2009 at 10:30am by regalarius
next time he's playing sims, why not throw on some lingerie and work him over completely - you got married for a reason, so put some fire into things occasionally....... If you're not interested in that, or he's not interested in you doing that, then, yeah, your FML would be accurately posted!
Oh I do that and my husband is awesome. Why recreate the life you already have? BORING! Dont take it personally.
#109 - On 06/01/2009 at 12:56pm by littlegoldwoman
well quit being such a horrible hag and maybe he wont have to make himself a dream life in a video game.
just my personal opinion.
I bet you were probably about to chew him out about something stupid too.
#110 - On 06/01/2009 at 1:43pm by crazycracker37
it's actually harder to have two or more people in the game so don't get upset lol!
#112 - On 06/01/2009 at 4:00pm by PredyJessica
He has been with you for ten years, if you had anything to worry about it soul be him leaving you. Be would have done it by now!
#119 - On 06/02/2009 at 2:25am by GymnasticsGirl2
So what ? A guy can't have a bit of peace even on a computer game ? No wonder he didn't put you in there.
#120 - On 06/02/2009 at 1:30pm by Morgane324
1. Don't listen to teenagers comments
2. I understand where you are comming from, it doesn't feel good to think your life partner might feel their life could be better without u. It may not be that way though.
3. Find out how deeply to read into it, it could be a sign, or it could be a man being male, u know how they are. Guys don't think of things like we do. At least he didn't add a girlfriend who is your opposite.
4. Don't make a big deal of it if you decide to talk to him.
5. Good luck, cheer up! :)
Another happy couple in another happy marriage.
Isn't marriage great?
YDI for being one of the millions of people who think marriage means everlasting happiness.
Unless you're in a marriage at least as long as his and you're still happy, any arguments against this is invalid.
#123 - On 06/03/2009 at 4:23am by philosopher
#7 - You're totally right..
#14 - You're hilarious.
That's not shitty or good, or anything. It's fucking funny that this woman is such a tighty though. I think I peed my pantses. Get some hobbies you creeper. Like www.fmylife.com. There's a good hobby right there.
#126 - On 06/03/2009 at 8:25pm by angela_baker
Yea if he built his dream house he for sure built his dream life. No matter how hard it is to play two characters. Chances are you should start fixing or disolving your marriage now. It beats wasting ten more years. Either way it screams divorce eventually. You'll blame him and he'll leave you for it.
It's a game.. You're Gonna cry over a game... real mature.
#130 - On 06/05/2009 at 2:30pm by at0micmin3r
Its JUST a game. Lol, I make Sims houses, and offend everyone ALL THE TIME!
#131 - On 06/08/2009 at 2:59pm by LITTLEc0516

I only like this one because you're from Poland. I'm 3/4 Polish.
#134 - On 07/28/2009 at 5:42pm by ericalew_xo
maybe if you didn't go online and complain about stupid shit like this, he wouldn't have a is "happy place" as a wifeless paradise
theres a lot of husbands who joke around about that kinda of stuff ... im sure hes not serious ... for example my dad and step mom went to shopko to return a gift and my dad asked if he could get a refund for his wife ... he was of course joking
#136 - On 08/24/2009 at 3:45pm by sjbartholome
If that happened to me, I would ask my Mum if she thought I should burn in hell too, then come out.
