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

70% off something you didn't need, a stampede and a cart that crashes at checkout. Thanks, Black Friday.
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.

Magic is pure fun. I play a tcg that is somewhat similar, called Legend of the 5 Rings. My girlfriend knows and is fine with it. She doesn't think it's the coolest thing I've ever done but she respects my hobbies and how I spend my money. Maybe the OP should take some time to learn from my girlfriend. What a bitch.

Note that I am not calling him a loser. I hate it when people don't care about another persons hobby. I still have a bunch of those cards from years ago. I never fully knew how to play but the artwork is really good.

I am surrounded by nerd men. All of my male friends play MTG or L5R or both. There is a healthy smattering of D&D thrown in there too, as well as various video game tournies and some MMO love. I married a nerd this past Halloween. It's wonderful...he is sweet, attentive, doesn't show me disrespect, and includes me in most of the things he does. I play MTG casually, but not so much on L5R...I love WoW (again, casually), but could live without Aion, etc. It doesn't cost a lot of money, it's stuff we can do together, and when he is out playing cards with the guys, I never have to worry, and I am usually invited along. Stop whining and learn to be a real woman. I'm not suggesting you go build your own Sliver deck or anything, but FFS, show a man some respect for having his own interests. Gah. It irks me to no end when women whine about their men liking comic books, sports, video games, etc...try actually learning about what your man is interested in, and you may be shocked to find he'll reciprocate. Yeah. Maybe you should ditch your nerd and get with a guy that prefers excessive amounts of beer and women instead. Those relationships usually end well.

I hate dumb *****. How do you know she hasnt looked into his hobby to know she doesnt like it? Stop assuming things. And she clearly worded that he spends ALL his money traveling to these things. That would be a problem. So because she doesnt like the freakin' shit doesn't make her a bitch; just makes you all sound dumb. **** muscles.

i hate dumb ***** that dont read the fml correctly, we know she doesnt know about it because a) she doesnt know the name of the game and b) called the game "mystical" and also those conventions he goes to should have tournaments with a lot of money rewards

lots of magic fan-boys here! (don't linch me, I used to play too ;) If it's a hobby, that's ok. If it's an obsession... not so cool. If he does indeed spend ALL of his money ( like you wrote and nobody seemed to notice) instead of paying bills, or buying food...well, you're right, so... FYL! lol ;)

No, I think she forgot the words "(all his money) that he should be spending on me"

YDI for not understanding that decks in magic can cost over a 1000$, and he can win prize money up to 5000$

Bahahaha. "Magic" is not a "mystical" card game. It's no more mystical than any other card game. I don't play it, and I'm not at all interested in it, but I have friends that play it. The only possible FYL here would be if he really did spend thousands and thousands of dollars on it. There's nothing FYL about the "mystical" card game :P

this kind of crap pisses me off. I hate it when people think of something as geekish. magic is a great game to play; it encourages the imagination. I play role playing games such as dungeons and dragons, where u have to create stories and characters. Tcha, it's a much better hobby than getting drunk and high every weekend.

this belongs on failbooking or something.

Asides from what everyone else is saying about it being just a hobby that requires some intelligence unlike a lot of other hobbies he could have, it's not even really that nerdy. And it's not really a waste of money either (although I don't know why you'd care what he spent his money on) as magic cards don't really lose much of their value over time and if he ever decides to quit playing he'll probably get most of what he spent back from selling them.

Hey, I'm a girl and my boyfriend and I both play Magic, we place at tournaments, and win cash. Instead of being a stuck up little bitch, how about you try something new, rather than assuming that your boyfriend is a loser? Instead of whining about how he spends "all of his money" traveling, how about you go with him on a mini-vacation? Most tournaments are a weekend. My boyfriend and I have plans to go to Washington DC and Philly to play Magic and see the sights. What's bad about that?
