Grow up

Today, my boyfriend broke up with me, because apparently I need to "grow up". He's the one who excessively plays Call of Duty and still has Pokémon and Bionicles in his room. FML

Today, my boyfriend and I broke up. He said it was because he wanted to 'do his own thing'. So gaming 24/7 like he has for the past two years of our relationship, then. FML

Today, my boyfriend broke up with me because I don’t have a life outside of him. I don’t have any friends other than him, nor do I have any hobbies or interests; he’s the centre of my world. Apparently this makes me too available, needy, and codependent. FML

Dude, your boyfriend broke up with you and you posted a whiney FML about it? Who -really- needs to grow up?

Yep, you definately need to grow up. There's nothing wrong with playing video games and having 'collectables' (aka Toys) as long as they don't take over your life. Your childish reaction to this breakup shows me that you need to grow up regardless if he does or not.

Your ex-boyfriend sounds like half of the guys I hang out with. All respectable and mature. YDI if you're too mature for that. High horse and all. :/

Do you blame him? Call of Duty is amazing and Pokemon rule. The most influential men in the world played Call of Duty; including, Albert Einstein, Ghandi, and Napoleon.

I just created an account for the sole purpose to tell you that you have no idea what maturity is if you think Pokemon and Bionicle make people childish, but then I read the comments. They're right. FYL, but not because your bf broke up with you, but because you're a childish fool.
