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
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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.

Been there done that. Tried to get into it enjoyed for a bit didn't understand the obsession. Lets just say it was one of many reasons I used a past tense verb for my opening line.

Why is "magic" in quotations? He's not saying that the convention itself is magical. The name of the game is Magic: The Gathering. My boyfriend plays it too and it's actually pretty interesting. Why don't you try it out before you diss it?

That's no too bad Magic is pretty awesome! Besides that's nothing compared to my man, he actually opened a MTG shop. Cardboard Hoard in FL. Check them out! They're awesome!

I wish I could say something nice, but you just insulted the game that was the reason my husband and I met. (the real story was I beat him 2-1 in a round at a stat tournament, but he claims he let me win) Really, you're just being a bitch about a hobby that's a lot of fun. Even if you don't get it, he's having fun, meeting people, and (possibly-depending how good he is) making money off of it. Accept it or let him find someone who isn't judgey. *note* disregard this comment if he's seriously wasting money: he's horrid, never wins, can't pay rent, forgets hygiene. . .ect.

I think everyone missed the point of the FML. Personally I see it as an FML because he spends ALL of his money on this hobby. It is fine to have a hobby and to even take up a decent amount of time doing it. The problem is when it becomes the ONLY thing you do and spend your money on. I sympathize though, my BF used to play it a lot before we started dating. His priorities have changed now with school and being with me so he uses what little money he gets on us. He still plays just doesn't go crazy about it. Unless OP's BF is a pro player making money off of MTG then she has every right to be somewhat upset with his obviously addictive hobby. Perhaps she is the bitch everyone is painting her to be on this post but we can't know without a reply from the OP herself.

It's his money. He can do what he wants with it. He could be doing a LOT worse with it.

All hobbies are expensive and it is his money.
