Today, my husband was 45 minutes late to our wedding reception. Later, when I asked him why, he said, "I was playing Legend of Zelda and had to finish my quest." He thinks this is an eligible excuse. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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, I felt frisky, so I did my hair and put on make-up and some lingerie. I walked into the living room, where my husband was playing a video game. He glanced up, said, "Oh, for fuck's sake." and made me wait nearly 15 minutes for him to reach a save-game point. FML
Today, my husband had confessed that we couldn't go on a vacation this spring because he was out of vacation time. He took two weeks off and pretended to go to work, then came home once I'd left. Another woman? No, some stupid shit in his video game called "Runescape Leagues." FML
Today, after a 16-hour work day, I came home to my husband. I talked to him for about 10 minutes, then realized that he wasn't answering me but had his headset on and was talking on Xbox live. Not even playing a game, just talking. FML
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
Today, on our honeymoon, I found out my husband brought his work laptop with him. We were supposed to go scuba diving but he skipped it for virtual meetings, then sat on his laptop until 2 a.m. He then had the nerve to be confused about why I’m mad at him and just want to go home. FML
Today, my boyfriend forgot to pick our son up from daycare. His excuse? Fighting in a battle in World of Warcraft was far more important and he had to stay absolutely focused. Our son had to wait for two hours. FML
Today, my husband asked me to meet him at 6 for our date night, but I ended up being 45 minutes late. Turns out he predicted my lateness and had booked the restaurant for 7, not 6. He knows me so well, but sometimes I hate the smug smarmy bellend. FML
Today, as my wife loves games, she set me a series of clues leading to our date night, where she's waiting for me. WHY? She knows how bad a problem solver I am. By the time she realised I was going to be hopelessly late, and answered my 50 missed calls, I’d only solved the first 2 clues out of 18 total. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Well, he certainly found the Triforce of Courage. The Triforce of Wisdom, on the other hand, not so much.

He can't put his game down, You can't spell. Couldn't you have, at least, waited until graduation to jump into something you're clearly not ready for? And that is a eligible question.

OP was probably angry and upset and types quickly, no need to blame them

If you’re quick about it, you don’t have to go through the hassle of divorce. Annulment is a fast, easy option.

What I don't get is how you could know someone long enough to get married and yet not know that the game fixation is this big. YDI.

I'm very conflicted on if he's a keeper or not. Dude has some good priorities. Just maybe the top few aren't in order.

Maybe he was so nervous about the wedding that playing the videogame was his way to cope with the situation. While this isn't an excuse, don't jump to conclusions and talk with him, he might be embarassed or feeling guilty

to be honest it's better than him cheating at least he was finishing up a game and lost track of time and not out having sex js!!

Hey, if it was Eventide Island, yeah, I could understand... you have to go back to the very beginning. But the Switch has a sleep mode, so it's still a shitty excuse.

Remember the guy missing his child's birth by hours? Here we have an early stage of that situation... I strongly suggest a treatment.
