Today, on a movie date with my boyfriend, it took me a while to understand why he was leaning on his elbow during the entire thing. He had an earpiece cupped in his hand and was listening to a soccer match. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my boyfriend found some noise-canceling headphones that he forgot he had. Once he adjusted them and put them on, he sat down and asked me to tell him about my day. FML
Today, while my boyfriend and I were watching TV, I asked him if he loved me. He turned up the volume. FML
Today, I had to sit in between two boys on a two-hour bus ride. They were watching a movie and each of them had shared an earphone. They made me hold the phone up so both of them could see the screen. FML
Today, I was about to kiss my boyfriend in a courtyard when a soccer ball hit me in the head, hard. My boyfriend remarked that it made a "hollow sound" when it hit me. FML
Today, my best friend called me to cancel our mall plans. I could hear that she was watching a movie in the background. I then called my boyfriend to see if he was busy, and I could hear the same movie in the background. FML
Today, I was at a football game with my boyfriend. I said my hands were getting cold, hoping he'd hold them. He replied, "Uh, they make pockets for a reason..." and physically showed me how to put my hands in my pockets. FML
Today, my boyfriend was complaining about how we never see the movies he wants to see. So I took him to the movies, and he picked which one. Then he fell asleep. FML
Today, I went to the movies with my boyfriend. The movie was in 3D, and he couldn't help but notice it would be much cooler if you could feel what the characters did. He spent the next two hours slapping me every time the person in the movie did, claiming the movie would be "better". FML
Today, I was video chatting my boyfriend. As we were talking, he answered a phone call. I sat there the whole time as he planned a date with some other girl over the phone. FML
Today, I went to see a movie by myself and ended up sitting next to a couple on a first date, who spent the whole movie whispering to each other. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I'm a huge fan of soccer, I can totally see myself doing that. Though it is a bit rude, it's not like you were trying to engage conversation throughout the movie. On another note, what game was he listening to?

At least he attempted to make you happy by coming with you. He could have ditched you completely to see the game instead

I can imagine him jumping up and screaming "GOOOOOAAALLL" whenever his team scores.

Who are the uptight jerks that downvote comments like this? #11 I find the situation super funny and your comment cracked me up ;)

Well, if he's that passionate about football, it's just not a good idea to plan date nights during matches he wants to follow. Just let him enjoy his hobby, and do something fun together when there's no match on. Then again, maybe this was his way to find a compromise between enjoying the match, and spending time with you doing something you felt like doing, which is a little bit sweet, though obviously awkward to find out.

Well at least that shows that he's a really good listener. Get it? No? Ok

And then of course there's the fact that the soccer game is LIVE and the movie can be seen any time. But still, I imagine he didn't 'score' later, did he?

At least he still went with you. He could have just ditched you to actually watch the game.

At least he wanted to take you, he could've just told you "no" just so he could watch the soccer game.

How about instead of going on a movie date invest time in doing what he likes? Soccer/football is obviously very important to him. A game is generally at most 2 hours, it wouldn't kill you to watch.

Well we don't know what movie that was. May be it was just THAT bad.

If he's listening to soccer then you don't have a boyfriend, you have a girlfriend.

I'm willing to bet you're American. This FML is from Switzerland and it just so happens that soccer is the most popular sport in the world. Most of us in America just missed the memo way back. Doesn't excuse comments like yours.
