Today, I found out the guy I've been dating is heavily into a mystical card game and spends all of his money going to "Magic" card conventions across the country. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, after weeks of my yelling, my boyfriend finally listened and got a hobby. Instead of getting into something sensible like martial arts, he chose tabletop gaming. Now I have to listen to hours of boring stories about pretend fantasy worlds, and admit to everyone that my boyfriend is a nerd. FML
Today, my boyfriend's obsession with card tricks reached a new low. He barged into the bathroom while I was taking a crap and asked me to pick a card. FML
Today, after almost two months, I almost finished sorting through my boyfriend's Magic: The Gathering cards. He has been collecting them for 10 years and never bothered to keep them organised. The box of Mythic Rare cards that I was saving till last is missing. I remember exactly where it was, and no one has seen it. FML
Today, I found out my fiancé is in the market for a new girlfriend. How? He used my credit card to sign up for 3 dating sites. FML
Today, I found out my boyfriend dresses in my underwear and tights, takes suggestive shots of his ass and legs, and uses them to trick people into thinking he's a girl so they buy him stuff in his online games. FML
Today, I attended my first game night with my girlfriend’s family. They play for cash and deal cards like trained magicians. By the end I was up by £400 and they were all mad at me. I seriously think they were so busy cheating each other that I won by default. FML
Today, I found out that the dude I love has been taking the money I used to support him and buying heroin with it. FML
Today, my husband and I have been trying to buy a house and start a family together. Now I find out that he just spent $5000 on comic books. FML
Today, I found out that the money my boyfriend has "secretly" been putting away for the last two months is not for an engagement ring like I'd thought, but for a trip to Vegas I'm not invited to. FML
Today, when my new boyfriend told me he liked playing games, he meant a 60" TV with a professional gaming chair in the middle of his living room, and 48-hour gaming marathons where he totally ignores me, refuses to sleep or shower, and only has energy drinks and cheerios. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

So? This isn't a FML. This is you not being accepting of other people's hobbies.

What I don't understand is people saying YDI . She discovers the guy she's dating likes a card game and is going to spend alot of his money on it. So is it the OP's fault?.....

no because she won't accept his hobby, MTG is the shit :)

Magic cards are awesome! They were really popular when I was in elementary school but I couldn't afford them :( FYL for not realizing how awesome your boyfriend is.

I know your pain, i know exactly how you feel, he spent 80 on only 7 stupid cards....i know how you feel.

so? it's his money, he can choose what he wants to spend it on! That's the problem with a lot of people, they care too much about what people spend thier money on. As long as your actually paying for the necessities first, any extra money can be spent on what they want to spend it on. For me, I spend ny extra money on expensive purses and anime. My fiancée spends it on video games and poker. To each, his/her own!

sorry, but unless your bill gates or donald trump, there is no such thing as "extra money".
HiddenAce91 6
that's not necessarily true. I had extra money for a while. I mean I had to pay $50 a month to my parents and that was it. The rest of my paychecks were for what ever I wanted to use it for. But Now jobless because of the economy, I have no money left, and am back to living with my mom and step-dad.
alicia_was_here 3
and you would have been better off if you had saved that money. your an example of the myth of 'extra money'.
HiddenAce91 6
No actually I wouldn't cause I would be living with my tyrant of a father still. I'm glad he kicked me out when my account rand dry cause I had to do everything his way and I'm 18. At least with my mom there is wiggle room and they realize how bad the economy actually is. Cause my step-dad is on unemployment. unlike my actual father who still has his job. They're not making me pay rent or anything.

you dont have to be kicked out to leave, you could have left on your own. and moving in with your mother would be a good idea, but you should have been saving. just because you didnt have to pay rent and only had a few bills, doesnt mean its a good idea to blow money you didnt use for those bills. unless your planning on living with your mom for the rest of your life, then it would have been smarter to save your money. but hey, its your life, and if 'extra money' exists in your fantasy world, then okay, but here in the real world, especially in this economy, 'extra money' is not real.

I don't plan on living with her for the rest of my life. But you know. What I do with MY money is MY choice. I told my dad the same things. I bought my own necessities first, then I bought what I wanted. Besides I had money saved up. But you know I ran out paying for college, you know tuition, books, a computer to do my work, and if it weren't for my mom having me on her cellphone plan I wouldn't have a phone.

I play Magic and I'm a girl. I don't see why you're making such a big deal about this. If you actually tried taking an interest in his hobbies instead of criticizing it, then you might have something better to do than write FMLs all day.

#223 If you didn't play that shit and actually had a life..than you would have FML's to write instead of commenting on others :)

Well, I'm sorry I have a life that doesn't cause me to have to write FMLs. I guess I'm just lucky like that.

#225 I played the game when I was in high school which was only little under a year ago. But nonetheless II had a life. I mean I had a beautiful amazing girl who accepted me for me entirely and tried to be someone other than just a friend. Which was rare cause most girls in my school were afraid of falling in love with me, knowing well that when I graduated I was out of that town and no one was stopping me. Our relationship failed for a whole different reason though that is a lot more personal.

Ask him to give you a tarot reading. If he can't do that, you're wrong and a ****.

^HAHA^ I love how very MTG player on here makes themselves sound like some genius who is winning thousands playing this game. the OP of course has to be complete idiot/bitch/control freak because she concerned that her BF is traveling around the country going to magic the gathering conventions!!

Were you trying to be clever by peppering that one up with a thesaurus? Not only is playing Magic: the Gathering fun as hell, but it's actually quite a good hobby to have. Do you know how much some of the rarer cards can sell for? If he can support himself and you (which I bet he can because you didn't complain about his living conditions) then who cares?

My boyfriend is into M:TG. I at first was weary, because we now have over like 10,000 cards in our apartment. Instead of getting rid of them, I finally decided to ask him to teach me to play. It really is a fun game! So this bitch is just that..a bitch.

He doesnt mean they are magic conventions, the game is called 'Magic' smarty
