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?

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

If he was so interested in football, he should have told you instead of acting like a kid about it. Unless you were being a real douchebag about it, in whch case YDI.

Dump him

who cares really, maybe the movie was not his style and instead of being a rude douch he decided to let you enjoy it while he did something he enjoyed. I'd be pissed it of was during dinner or while I was trying to engage in convo but if not. let it go pick your battles.

I honestly don't see anything wrong with this. He was there with you what does it matter what your watching

Talking seems to be way underrated. And wow to all the people who think she should be happy that he even came. Wtf? It is really insulting to act like this. Just say you don't want to. It's really not that hard.

Haha! This reminds me of way back in middle school wen we would hide our CD players in our hoodies, run the cord up our sleeves and listen to music in class! It is a bit of an FML for the girlfriend, but I have to admire his creativity... seeing as I did the same thing myself at one point. I wish there was a follow up on this. I'd love to see how he reacted to being caught, any circumstances surrounding the date (why it couldn't be rescheduled?), and anything else.

At least he has his priorities straight.

I can't decide if my advice should be "dump him" or "kill him". I can't believe all the people on your bf's side! If his attention and heart aren't in the date, but something trivial like sports, let him go (or commit homicide). You deserve someone that'll focus on YOU on date night- not on grown men wasting their lives chasing a little ball around a field (and act like it's a life-or-death battle- it's literally a game.) That clearly says "You aren't important to me right now, I have to listen to the score of a GAME. Men chasing small balls are more of a priority to me than you are."

My advice to you would be to chill out!
