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

Wild Nights Out
Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
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.

"My girlfriend doesn't understand my hobby, and probably me alltogether. FML"

you dumb bitch, so what if he's a tcg nerd, he could be out snorting cocaine and ******* prostitutes. deal with what you got or get out of your relationship, don't turn to the Internet to make you feel better about yourself. I agree, your life sucks, because your a materialistic self centered insecure bitch.

...I don't get why you have all these FMLs along the lines of 'my boyfriend's a geek and does this FML even though I (a) have a significant other at all and (b) clearly the problems with our relationship do not lie in infidelity, domestic abuse, or any real problem, else I would be mentioning that'. Unless he's consistently throwing you over for the game, in which case either talk to him about it or move on. But still, 'my boyfriend plays Magic FML' comes off as whiny and somewhat shallow -- either expand on why this is such an issue, or don't bitch about it. I'd kill for a geeky boyfriend. :/

Mystical game is mystical. (seriously OP, you hadn't heard about it before?)

Actually, OP.. MTG recquires an enormous amount of intelligence, so I would hold on to him if I were you. P.S. That's pathetic that you look down on your boyfriend for having a hobby, I like comic books and my girlfriend actually picked some out for me.

Strategy =/= intelligence. I know plenty of dumbasses that play MTG. Just saying.

Have you ever actually played?? I'm guessing not. FHL for having someone who only thinks of herself and does not try to understand his hobby before she goes on her "Woe is me, my bf plays magic and it costs money" trip. I'm sure your bf indulges your weird hobbies, like your extreme shopping habit, your excessive need to spend money and your need to play with barbies to feel like you have someone who understands you. None of those may be your actual hobbies, I just expect that you play with barbies because of how childish you seem, Just like you expect Magic to be some horrible expense you have to deal with. It may not be fair of me but you are not being fair to him by not understanding his hobby. By the way Magic is pretty awesome and some people win money off of it.

"I'm sure your boyfriend indulges in your weird hobbies..." Do you have any idea how stupid it is to make an assumption like that? How do you know OP even has "weird" hobbies. You're making these huge assumptions with no basis. You dislike OP based on a short FML and now you're pulling all of these assumptions about her relationship right out of your ass. It's also possible that her boyfriend is a complete jerk. Maybe he DOES spend ALL of his money on Magic: The Gathering, which leaves his girlfriend to pay all the restaurant bills/electricity bills/etc. Did you ever consider that possibility? No, you didn't, because you are a biased idiot. You can't make those kinds of assumptions without any logical basis. Just because the boyfriend plays Magic: The Gathering doesn't mean that he's a nice guy or a stable guy or even a financially reliable guy. Grow up.

I would encourage him to get better at this game... I'm pretty sure those "conventions" you speak of have 6-figure prize budgets.
