Today, I went into labor with my first child, and as much as I pleaded, I had to wait for my husband to finish his raid in World of Warcraft before he'd take me to the hospital. FML

Autumn: Leaves and Laughter
When the leaves fall, the laughter rises. Discover autumn stories as crisp as dried leaves!
Today, I went into labor and got my husband drive me to the hospital. Instead of staying by my side, he rushed back home for a World of Warcraft raid. His excuse? His friends were counting on him and they'd be pissed if he let them down. FML
Today, during the birth of my first child, my epidural didn't work. FML
Today, I gave birth to a baby girl. Where was my husband after the agony finally ended? Standing just outside the room, flirting with a nurse. FML
Today, I gave birth to my first son. He was 11 pounds and the labour lasted 22 hours. My husband was absent for 8 of those hours because he slipped when my water broke, cracked his head, and ended up in the ER next door. FML
Today, I gave birth to my firstborn child. Somehow, my mom and mother-in-law made their way to the delivery room, and walked in mid-push. While they were escorted out, I overheard my mother-in-law asking the nurse how her son, my husband, was holding up. FML
Today, I went into labor, and my husband wasn't answering his phone. I called my sister to ask her to drive me to the hospital but she said she'd only do it if I paid her $1000. I had to dial 911, and almost gave birth in my bathroom in process. FML
Today, I gave birth, but my husband was late and got here just in time to cut the cord. He was hung over after celebrating his impending fatherhood all night. He missed the cord twice, cut it, then fell over, and wound up in the bed next to mine, with a hydrating IV and a bashed head where he hit it on the baby's cot. FML
Today, I realized that my husband has a video games addiction. I am currently pregnant; he brought us to the same country he's in so we can finally live together, only for me to witness him being glued to his laptop all day and all night playing WoW. He's forgotten I even existed. FML
Today, my wife's water broke so I drove her to the hospital. After 16 hours without labor, I went home to get a little sleep. Four hours later I got the call and ran outside to find that my car was towed from my parking space. FML
Today, I had to explain to my son that his dad was too busy in a raid on World of Warcraft to be at his award ceremony. FML

The lack of additional detail in the more then ample space left in her post makes me think that 1) everything was fine in the end and 2) either she did not really wait that long or she was told it was just as well she waited as any earlier would have done little good for anyone. So I would chalk it up to some drama queen who was called out as a dolt by her friends/family in RL for overreacting to the situation and is now pandering to a mass of complete strangers in the hopes of garnering their support for no other purpose then to use it as ammo against her husband in an argument. She had LOADS of space in that post to add some really damning stuff, but didn't. How many of you irate women who advocate smashing things would give up the chance to really make him look the total ass with just a few quick details? I live in a house with 4 girls/women. Even my three year old is more likely to include more detail then provided here in order to "win" the fight or get someone in trouble...Women will bring up that one time you left the seat up in the middle of the night a year and a half ago to support why you are wrong now on a COMPLETELY unrelated front just because it is something they can use to build a case on you being an inconsiderate jerk, but she gives a bare minimum of detail here when it would be most useful, I'm not buying it... I just get sick of people chalking extreme behavior up to WoW, or inflating things to make situations look worse(which is what I am really thinking is the case here) because they know once they put "WoW" or "World of Warcraft" in there then masses of the ignorant will flock to their side to make the cries of "WoW is the Devil! Anyone who plays it is a LOSER! You should BURN HIM!!!" There are some extreme cases of behavior, but that can be applied to nearly ALL hobbies/activities. There are always nutters who take it to the extreme, people need to realize WoW is no different. The nutters act as they do because they are loony in one way or another, not because WoW makes them that way...

Even if it would have been a 48-hour labor, doesn't justify her husband reacting like that. If I was in labor and my husband/boyfriend would've told me to wait, because he had to finish some STUPID (yes, that's right) videogame, he would've faced worse situations than losing a level or whatever the **** happened if he wouldn't have stopped playing. It's just selfish, rude, addictive behaviour.

There's NO EXCUSE if a woman's going into labor, especially if she's your wife or girlfriend, 257. So you can Just STFU.

I was just voicing my opinion (note that I never said he wasn't at fault, I just said that the complete lack of real info was highly suspicious and made me think that she was intentionally targeting WoW as a means to gain support). But on a happy note, when I went home last night I discussed this with my wife to see if perhaps I had missed the mark in my understanding. After reading her the FML as it was written I first asked her for her opinion prior to even hinting at mine. Her response, "Well...Being a first child she was likely completely unprepared and as a result WAY overreacted. Understandable, but still unnecessary." Then after I told her about my post she asked to see the thread. She spent the next half hour laughing hysterically at all the "Psychotic bitches" on the thread... Like I said, all you dolts who fly to the conclusion of "Divorce HIM!" "SMASH HIS STUFF" "HE'S A LOSER!" without any inkling of the other side of the story make me happy to be married to a sane rational woman who actually thinks about something before letting emotion take over and make her look foolish...So please, flame away, each post only serves to further affirm my belief you are all irrational twits =D

You are a lucky man. As am I, really, in that respect. Too many irrational people are out there and in relationships. The people here who told her to delete the account, etc, would probably ACTUALLY do that. There was a video on YouTube I saw a while back where a woman was "tired of her husband being lazy", so she deleted all of his characters. That's not rational, and it certainly wouldn't look good if divorce ever comes up. And on here recently, I read a FML from a guy who asked his girlfriend how much she weighed - her response was to throw his XBox out the window... And people on this site SUPPORTED her and told him he was wrong. I don't know where these people come from - the people who think that behavior is okay - but our society would be better off if they relaxed, thought about things, and then decided what actions would be best... Instead of just smashing shit.

That's messed up. What a shitty husband... I'd delete his account and see how he likes it. It's better that he stop playing anyway since you have a new baby. That will come first, and it seems like he has serious issues seeing the important things in life... >.>

Oooooo... definitely sell his account on eBay and keep whatever you made.

Dump his ass. He's not worth it. There's no excuse for playing a STUPID VIDEO GAME. Gamers stop your whining, it's just a bunch of stupid 1s and 0s, with people fighting a PRETEND fight in a PRETEND landscape PRETENDING to be actual heroes when they're REAL losers.
