Don't yuck peoples' yum

Today, my husband bought a Pokémon game and started playing it in bed. It's like I'm married to an eight year-old boy. Why can't I have a normal man, who reads books or even plays normal games for an adult? I can barely look at him without feeling ashamed for settling with such an overgrown child. FML

As someone in her mid-40s who plays Pokémon GO, F your husband's life for being married to a boring harpy who has lost her spark for fun.

If it makes him happy, who cares? Why does everything have to be "adult"-oriented?

Right! Her husband is in bed next to her instead of drinking and whoring and/or gambling. What a joyless hag.

Sounds like,e you such a joy to be around. I hope you come home and find divorce papers waiting for you when your husband realizes what he is married to. I’m so glad my wife and I u derstand each other and encourage each other to enjoy our individual fun activities.

Yeah but you picked him and you did settle. js

The thing is, I think he could do much better.

My wife and I play Pokemon, and even the temu version (palworld) and regularly game together. I’m 40, she’s 30. It’s a blast because we even create inside jokes. We go to Anime conventions together (she even went as Rei Ayanami a few years ago) and watch stuff on crunchy roll. I’m no looker, but she is, I’m a nerd through and through, but we don’t go after each other for simple joys we each have. I still assemble legos, she loves things like cute plushies, drawing and many other things including dressing up our five cats and babying them. If you throw everything away due to age, you’ll end up old miserable bastards. Like my grandparents. There’s no fun in that. I even regularly play dungeons and dragons with guys almost 2x my age that have grand and great grand children. They have fun and even bring their grandkids to get in on the fun. Having fun doesn’t stop the second you get to an arbitrary age. You sound like someone about to drive their partner to an early death, either by heart attack or by suicide. He needs to divorce you. He deserves better. You deserve to be alone.

"Normal games for an adult"? Have you ever seen Leisure Suit Larry? He's better off playing Pokémon.

Dumbest FML i read in a while. Why complain when your man is at home enjoing his time and relaxing? As a wife you should be the person that shares his good mood or encourages him to spend some time having fun. I bet you knew that he plays games before you married so why complain now? Also not everything in our lives should be 100% adult.

Would you rather he be out playing with other women? Sheesh, let him have a little fun. If he starts neglecting his adult duties like a job, kids, or household responsibilities, then start to worry. Otherwise, leave him alone.
