Autumn: Leaves and Laughter
When the leaves fall, the laughter rises. Discover autumn stories as crisp as dried leaves!
Today, my husband started a conversation with, "In Pokémon…" and ended the same conversation with "…and that's why we should divorce." FML
Today, I came home upset about the sexism in my work place. I just wanted to be alone, but my husband insisted we talk about it. I noticed he kept looking over and one of his hands was moving. He was playing video games the entire time I was spilling my guts. FML
Today, my husband bought a Pokémon game and started playing it in bed. It's like I'm married to an eight year-old boy. Why can't I have a normal man, who reads books or even plays normal games for an adult? I can barely look at him without feeling ashamed for settling with such an overgrown child. FML
Today, my husband was sick so we ordered out and watched a baseball game. He dozed while I did chores and listened. Near the end of the game, I sat down with my phone to look at pics of the protests. He told me to put my phone down. He was furious. I "don't respect him" and I "make him feel small in our marriage." FML
Today, my boyfriend got angry because I laughed when he asked me if he should retire from being a Pokemon Trainer. He was serious. He's also 21. FML
Today, as soon as I got home, my husband said he was hungry and that I needed to cook. I flipped my shit and yelled at him for a good half hour. Later, he pulled out his phone and showed me videos of me doing the exact thing to him, asking him to do things the second he walked in the door. FML
Today, I left my husband in charge of the house for a day. When I returned, I saw him gaming through the window, so I stormed in and yelled at him. Then, my eyes adjusted, and I saw the neatly folded laundry, clean kitchen, vacuumed rugs, and my son, who was asleep until I woke him. Whoops. FML
Today, my husband and son ganged up on me in a game of Mario Kart. I threw the game down and stormed off. The last thing I saw was them high-fiving and yelling "RAGE QUIT" and laughing hysterically. They will both suffer for this. FML
Today, I beat my boyfriend in a video game. He promptly dumped me and told me to leave. FML
Today, I found my boyfriend playing games when we have 5 million things to do, but the bastard picked me up, put me in the hall, shut the door in my face, and barricaded it with the sofa. I texted him, threatening to break up unless he opened the door; he texted back to leave my key behind when I left. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I am reminded of a line in "death becomes her" when people complain about others they chose to marry, when she says "now you tell me". Like wtf u don't know these things about someone u are going to be with for the rest of your life? No wonder there are so many divorces. Besides u should be glad he gets passionate about things.

I agree you should get to know your spouse as much as possible before marrying them, but NOBODY knows their spouse 100% before. There are always new things you will learn, and people can change too. I don't think it's too unusual that OP wouldn't know, out of all things, how her husband is when it comes to playing pokemon together, especially if she isn't a gamer and generally doesn't play with him. Also it is nice that he's passionate about things, but in my opinion that isn't a good enough excuse to treat her badly, so she should have the right to complain. And I don't agree with the view that a person shouldn't complain about their spouses flaws and should just suck it up, simply because they should have known every aspect about them before marrying. Following that logic, I should tell abuse victims that it's their own fault for missing the signs and they should just resign themselves to their fate and stop complaining. Or tell people whose spouses are cheating on them that they should have known ahead of time it would happen eventually, so it's their own fault and they shouldn't complain.

Was he telling you to hold down + B or whatever when capturing a Pokémon? Because that doesn't make it more likely to land the capture. In the oldest games, while held buttons did influence the random number generator, you won't know what value is being changed to what so it doesn't matter at all. That is to say, a success can be changed to failure just as easily as a failure into success - it goes both ways.

Pokemon is serious business. I would have stormed out on you, top, plebeian trainer!

Maybe he just wants you to be the best like no one ever was, and to catch them is his real quest and to train them is his cause?

I was thinking the same thing, but wouldn't that mean that he's gotta catch 'em all? Pokémon?
