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.

It sounds like a harmless hobby. As long as he is not going into debt over it. Its not like his hobby is making meth in his garage.

You sound like a judgmental bitch. He has a hobby. No, it isn't sports or drinking or some stereotypical guy activity. He enjoys it, and that's his business. If his hobby negatively impacts you, then you can complain. Until then, shut your dumb face.

I second everyone on the tolerance factor, but mostly what amazes me is that the way OP worded her post it sounds as if this came as a massive surprise after a significant amount of time spent dating this guy. Is it me or shouldn't the "what do you do in your spare time?" question come up during, say, the FIRST date??? Isn't that one of the main criteria to assess compatibility with someone? So what was she dating him for? YDI.

Holy Shit!! People are getting angry at the OP. First, give her a break, most people, except I guess FML members know much about the game. I played it in my very early teens and thought it was fun but from an outside viewer it looks incredibly lame and nerdy. I know as soon as my interest in girls sparked I dropped that game as fast as I could. And yes it has a bad stigma because most kids at least when I went to high school who played it were petty anti social. I have a friend who used to be pretty into it and he says you wouldn't believe the amount of money people drop on the game. Also if he is traveling a lot, then he is probably spending a lot of money on that. Though i guess from peoples comments you can win money as well (personally I doubt you can win much)! But seriously give her a break, at first glance to most people a magic enthusiast is on the same level as WOW addict. Not the most attractive quality!

If she's dating him, she should look halfway into his hobbies before running off to bitch about it. And: http://www.wizards.com/Magic/TCG/Events.aspx?x=mtgcom/protour/sandiego10 $230,000.

Ok sure the 1st place get $40,000, and you if you place in the top 20 your making pretty damn good money, but after that if your lucky enough to place your probably just paying for your trip unless you live in the area. It's not like the world poker tour where the prizes are in the millions. And also no one mentioned this, but I get the vibe that the OP's BF was hiding his hobby since she just found out about it today. Seems like the BF is the reason she knows nothing about the game, since he didn't tell about it till now! Seriously people are you surprised that the OP finds it off putting that her current boy friend has been hiding a fantasy card game hobby from her.

I wouldn't consider this to be a FYL. M:TG is really more of a hobby kind of thing (and yes that is buying the cards as well as going to the conventions). If he had a hobby like playing a sport or an instrument, would you still complain? Probably not. But in ay case, it could be worse. He could be a WoW addict. That is far worse. People don't leave their computer for days in some cases.
