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.

My wonderful boyfriend plays Magic, spends his money on cards, and goes to tournaments most weekends (where he wins a lot of that money back). I couldn't be happier with him. He's a smart guy, has great friends, and isn't "wasting his life". I feel bad for your boyfriend for having a girl who can't look past a hobby and see the real guy.

Magic the Gathering cards are a REALLY good investment. Remember when you used to buy Beanie Babies? Well that was ******* stupid. Magic cards are where it's at. =) My boyfriend played before we got together and when we did I learned and actually enjoy it now. Don't be a dumb judgmental bitch.

When I first read this FML I was kinda "eww" too, but considering that he could potentially win mega money at any of these conventions (if he's good enough) might make his hobby a little more tolerable. To me, saying that you've been "dating heavily" doesn't seem like you've really been with him for a long time, just that you've smothered each other for a short period. Try sticking it out, and remind yourself why you wanted to date him in the first place; you might find other qualities that make it so his card games and traveling don't matter. Plus, if you go to one of those conventions with him, not only will he be super duper happy (if you're not a bitch the whole time), you might be able to walk off with a winner. You could be a card game champ's arm candy.

It's been said many times but here's one more: It's just a game. Hey, why don't you try asking him to teach you how to play?

1. You don't even know what he likes to do in his free time? It sounds like you're just dating him for the dough or the wang, and judging by your wording about his money, it's just for the wang. So stop complaining about his personality if all you care about is wang. 2. You clearly don't know anything about magic based on how you "quote" it and call it "mystical." If you really want to make judgments about his hobby (but you probably don't, see #1), then do some research. 3. God forbid, guidos and ****** will make fun of your boyfriend for doing something that requires more than three brain cells in his free time!!!!!111!!!!111111eleventy one 4. What's YOUR hobby, if you actually do something besides bitching about intellectuals (while banging them)? Go to crappy bars and spend lots of money on boots and slutty tops and get wasted with expensive fruity drunks and dance to shitty music? Congratulations, you're depressingly average. You deserve whatever disproportionate disappointment this situation brings to your feeble mind.

Magic isn't "mystical" you idiot. It's a trading card game. How about you learn about your boyfriends interests before bitching about it?
