Today, my fiancé nervously sat me down for a "serious chat". The chat wound up with him asking if we could postpone our wedding, because his World of Warcraft guild had a raid scheduled for the same day. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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, it was my two year anniversary with my boyfriend. As we were about to exchange gifts, he got a call and said he had to go home immediately. What was the emergency? His guild leader couldn't find another healer to finish a raid and promised my boyfriend gear if he would step up. FML
Today, I was watching TV with my boyfriend, when a World of Warcraft commercial came on. He turned to me and said, "Yeah, I'd choose the Horde over you any day." FML
Today, my dad had a chat with my fiancé, telling him he can do better than me, and to think carefully before going through with our wedding. FML
Today, my boyfriend dumped me because he said the relationship was too tough for him. When I asked for an example, he responded, "Like, I don't have enough time to play World of Warcraft." FML
Today, I found out that my fiancé is going to be deployed on our wedding day. FML
Today, I gave the option to my boyfriend of 5 years to either quit World of Warcraft of lose me. He said WOW makes him happier. FML
Today, my husband went in for surgery and handed me an important document. It wasn't a will or anything similar, but a list of items and gold he wanted passed on to guild members on World of Warcraft. FML
Today, I discovered that my fiancé had responded to an online missed connection posting. He has been emailing, exchanging pictures and making plans to go out with this girl. We are supposed to be married in the fall and just put down the non-refundable deposit on our reception site. FML
Today, my fiancée showed me her wedding plans. It will be themed on one of her video games, the best man will be dressed as an alien warlord, and the vows talk about how we'll beat the odds and be blessed by the "Goddess Kalahira". Apparently, I have no say in this. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Run and don't look back.

IMO people that role play on a consistent basis- or in an obsessive manner- are in dire need of a serious reality check. Supposedly people like that show qualities similar to schizophrenics, or people with multiple personality disorder. That's just what my psychology professor said, at least.

First off, to all the people saying that it's a "little" extreme for him to ask...get a reality check. That's like saying that someone stealing your brand-new car is a "little" unfortunate. Weddings take MONTHS to plan, and even smallish ones can cost a few thousand dollars. Postponing a wedding does not mean moving it back a few days/weeks. It means cancelling the whole thing, losing a lot of the money you've already invested (most wedding costs are non-refundable), and having to start over from scratch. His request was not a "little" extreme. It was totally unreasonable. I think this is an FML regardless. However, there's probably some element of YDI in it if he's done stuff like this before (i.e., flaked on significant things because of WoW). If he has, you KNOW how he is, and you KNOW that WoW tends to trump real life. Why would you expect any different? (At the same time, even if he has flaked on other major things like anniversaries, a wedding is kind of on a different level, so you would hope he would at least get his priorities straight for that. Hence, FML either way.)
