Today, after learning that my wife has been cheating on me, I decided to distract myself by playing The Sims. Not long after I began, my Sim's wife basically started cheating on him. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, my son was playing The Sims, when I saw him remove the door to a room and set it on fire with a Sim trapped inside. I chuckled at first, until I saw that the Sim was me. Meanwhile, my wife's Sim was happily painting in the next room, not giving a crap. All too accurate, sadly. FML
Today, my husband of ten years was playing the Sims. I asked him about the house he built. Apparently, it was his dream house, and he recreated himself as a Sim so he could live in it. Then I asked him where the wife was. There was no wife. It was his happy place. FML
Today, I found out that my husband made a replica of our family on The Sims 3. I also found out he killed me off a couple weeks ago and made a new wife, KiKi. FML
Today, I found out that my wife has been having an affair with the guy who's been trying to get our relationship back on track. FML
Today, I found out my wife of 19 years has been cheating on me. She told me that all the "cheating music" that she's been playing the last year and a half should've been a good enough hint. FML
Today, I woke up to find The Sims 2 running on pause on my laptop. I unpaused to find my character and my boyfriend's were no longer together. Slightly confused, I went on to find the note my boyfriend left. It said, "I hope you can take a hint." I got dumped through a computer game. FML
Today, I found myself crying for an hour when my recreated crush on The Sims 3 game rejected my character and ran off with someone else. FML
Today, I thought I’d get revenge on my cheating husband by seducing the woman he’s been seeing behind my back. Unfortunately, even though I’ve never been attracted to women, I’ve inexplicably fallen head over heels in love with her. What now? FML
Today, I had to comfort my wife after she found out that her boyfriend wasn't faithful to her. FML
Today, I broke it off with my mistress so that I could work on my marriage. Shortly after, my wife received an anonymous message, saying that I'd been unfaithful. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Do not put pressure on yourself and try to live and enjoy your life after dumping her

It will take ages for him to get over it though. Love doesn't just disappear when something happens. I hope he divorces her though. If she does it once then she'll probably do it again.

Am I the only one that thinks there is something wrong with turning to sims to get over this? (Welcome thumbs down)

Whenever a comment anticipates thumbs downs, I feel morally downvote it.
MrBlackledge 12
Nine times out of ten the only reason a comment anticipates thumbs down is because they know how opinionated FML is and can judge when your opinion isn't valid

25 I think you forgot part of your sentence there. I'm sure you meant that you feel morally obligated to downvote it. Am I right?

39, I don't know if you were expressing displeasure about the FML community being opinionated, or just making an observation, but isn't that the entire purpose of the thumbs up/down? For people to express their opinions? Or is there some other hidden meaning I'm unaware of...?

Better than turning to drugs or alcohol.

Put her in a small room with a lit fireplace and wooden chairs. The sim, I mean.

I think its a sign op.

Hi op, I am sure this won't make you feel better, but I just wanted you to know that infidelity is much more common in marriages than most people realize. While I do not condone such actions, I also wanted you to know that marriages can recover from this. Cheating is often a symptom of a bigger problem within a marriage, and it's important to remember that you can leave her, but you can also try to work things out. Do not feel obligated to do what you're "supposed" to do, do what's in your heart.

@26 Trust is like a mirror. Once broken, it will never be the same again. His wife doesn't deserve a second chance. I went through almost 10 years of a miserable marriage and I never cheated. Don't shift the responsibility from her by saying that cheating is just a symptom of a larger problem. Cheating is indefensible. Why should it be his responsibility to work things out with her when she cheated instead of trying to work things out with him?
WaywardDaughter 26
cheating is inexcusable. it is not better of a bigger it IS the problem.
abbypoo 11
I am sorry for what happened in your marriage, but that doesn't mean all cheating is the same. We know nothing about the circumstances here. Listen, saying cheating is a symptom of bigger problems within a marriage does not mean that it's the victim's fault, just that there were/are other issues that have not been addressed/dealt with. I did not say this is the case in every situation, either. In any case, it is better to forgive (even if he decides to divorce her) than to hang onto the anger and resentment. No need for op to be heartbroken AND bitter, or to realize he made a huge mistake by not trying. Pride isn't everything.
jhs578650 9
@51 I agree that he should forgive her, but I don't think he should stay with her. Trust is paramount in a relationship. Cheating is not simply a mistake. It is a conscious choice to betray your spouse. Why would anyone want to stay with someone who could make that choice?

Quick OP! Use your lifetime points to obtain the "stone heart" for your 'husband' Sim if you're playing Sims 3.
Dallyni 22
Maybe you spent to much time on the sims and that's why your real wife was cheating. Ever heard of dealing with your problems?
Zomg_Okay 27
This is called "jumping to conclusions". It is usually a bad thing.
Cyrren 22
No, this is called calling it spot on. Apparently OP was so self absorbed in playing video games that he tuned himself out to his wife. No wonder she cheated.
Zomg_Okay 27
Again, you're just jumping to conclusions. You're turning "My life has gone to shit, I need to escape it for a little while" into "I have a serious gaming addiction that caused me to neglect my wife".
hellphone_fml 37
I think they were being sarcastic.
Zomg_Okay 27
I disagree. Look around, there are over 1,000 YDIs and several comments besides the two I replied to that say it's the OP's fault for playing a video game.

Dude, sorry about your wife. Über ****. At least she won't be able to take the house and such in court if you decide to divorce.
AurumPotestasEst 16
I think you overestimate our judicial system...
Kallian_fml 21
You could do that in real life too, although I wouldn't recommend it.
iGottaFindBubbah 12
You op must be a very calm person. I couldn't think of playing a game after finding out my spouse has been unfaithful, I'd be too busy flipping the **** out.
