Today, my grandma was diagnosed with lung cancer. We're very close, and I called my boyfriend, really needing some support. I'd barely told him what had happened, when he replied, "Babe, I'm in the middle of a game here. Call me later." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I called my boyfriend to have a shoulder to cry on because my grandpa died. As soon as I told him, he started crying and telling me how much he missed his grandmother, who died six years ago. I spent the majority of the phone call listening to him wail. FML
Today, I found out my grandmother passed away. When I told my boyfriend I began to cry. Instead of caring, he said "you're getting my bed wet," rolled over, and fell asleep. FML
Today, my grandma wasn't feeling well, so I went to her house to check on her. After about 20 minutes, I knew she was feeling better when she looked at me and said, "So, do you have a boyfriend yet? I pray every night that I get to live long enough to see you with a boyfriend." FML
Today, my boyfriend broke up with me at my grandma's funeral. FML
Today, my 65-year-old grandmother called and asked me to tell my boyfriend that she was flattered, but she's happily married. I have no idea what she was talking about and my boyfriend refuses to talk to me. FML
Today, one of my closest friends and I got into a fight. She ended the conversation with, "My grandma just had a stroke. Bye." I didn't believe her so I replied "That's great. Bye." Turns out her Grandma is in the hospital in critical condition. FML
Today, my boyfriend told me he couldn't spend the day with me as he had his grandmother's funeral. Lonely, I went shopping and I bumped into his mum having lunch with his 'dead' grandma. FML
Today, I took my girlfriend out for a romantic dinner, since we can't see each other this Valentine's Day. Halfway through, my aunt called, telling me my grandma had died. I had to leave because I was crying so much, leaving my girlfriend with a very pricey bill. 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, while grieving over the loss of my Grandpa, I called my girlfriend for comfort. After I had cheered up, she said, "Don't worry, he went to Hell anyway." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Normally I'd agree, it's very stupid to break up with someone so hastily. Though I'd assume when OP called, she sounded incredibly upset, which her boyfriend should have heard and thought maybe the phone call was more important than a video game.

We've all done that, and have been a victim. I'm sorry to hear that. Spend as much time with your grandma as possible, I made the mistake of not spending enough time with them. Don't make the same mistake

People shut the hell up! My God if people took your garbage advice the world would be single. Imagine doing something you find special and someone interrupting that not to mention she probably didn't tell her boyfriend yet. Morons.

In what universe is it OK for a game to be more important than your girlfriend being really upset about a serious issue?

And why, pray tell, is being single such a horrible thing as opposed to staying with some douche? Being single is great.

She did tell him. She mentioned that in the post. Maybe you missed that. I hope.

In his defense if he didn't know how can you hold that against him? I've been on both sides of this. Once I was talking to a friend who said she was having a bad day. This friend and I often teased each other, so to normalize her day and be fun I began teasing her around with learning German, declaring it a Nazi language and if they weren't still Nazis why are they angry all the time. Turns out my friend wasn't in the best state of mind because her aunt she was close to died and thought what I was saying was serious (it was really ridiculous too so in an hour everything was patched up because she knew she interpreted it wrong it was so silly and I knew that it's perfectly reasonable to be in that state of mind after something like that). But the point is when she said bad day I thought "oh she tripped and fell" or something like that not "a close relative died". Besides would you rather he not really listen to you while you talk on the phone? Like it or not he's a separate person... it's not feasible that he drop everything for your phone call. Certainly you can talk to your best friend or family members about this until he calls you back (now if he didn't call you back or didn't take your issue seriously THAT would be a red flag imo).

So you cheer up people by telling them that German is a Nazi language? Just wow. Her boyfriend is a huge dick. She tells him that a loved one was diagnosed with a life threatening disease and all he cares about is his game? What a douche!
