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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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, all I wanted was to spend some time with my husband, since we're always very busy. He couldn't be bothered to put down his video game. Guess I'm forever alone, even in a relationship. FML
Today, I learned that my wife lets our son play video games while I'm at work to "keep him out of her hair." We had agreed that he was forbidden from gaming until his grades came up, but apparently she can't be bothered to actually parent. FML
Today, I realized just how bad my 28-year-old husband's gamer rage is when I came home to a smashed TV. This is the second TV in three months that he's destroyed. FML
Today, I realized that my ex has REALLY dumped me for a video game. And he will not change his mind. FML
Today, I found out my husband doesn't love me. At all. He told me this while playing Call of Duty with his friends with his microphone on. 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, 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, I realised my husband of 14 years is addicted to his phone. It's the first thing he sees in the morning, and last thing he looks at. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

wow, what a dickhole. it's pretty stupid how ppl take that game waaay too seriously.. I admit it is a fun game, but there's real life to be living thats way better then a virtual life ppl. like really... Hun, I suggest you have a good talk about this addiction to WoW with your husband.

As a veteran player of the game for 4 years, it frustrates me to no end how people from the outside can just dismiss WoW players- or any video game player at all- as being some sickly, lowlife nerd who has little regard for anything in the outside world and other real social relationships. Let me get something straight here: THAT IS A STEREOTYPE. Unless OP's husband was in some important guild in his game, filled with friends at the workplace who he directly interacts with every day (my situation), then he is part of the sad stereotype that brings shame to the gaming community and his wife has reason to sit him down and discuss his issue. If not, then he's probably caught up just playing with his friends. I play video games for many hours on my PC every day, but I only use it to pass the time when nobody wants to hang out. OP's husband does have an issue regarding his relationship that needs to be sorted out, but he is most likely not a slave to this game.

You got some splainin to do, Lucy! How did you get pregnant if you were living in a different country from your husband? And even if you were in the same country... how did you get pregnant if he just plays video games all the time?

Does he have a job? You just need his paycheck (or access to his bank account). Beyond getting pregnancies started and supplying you and your babies with money, we men are pretty overrated.

Lower the lights, put on some music, take off some clothes, apply some perfume, and seduce him with your irresistable feminine charm. Remind him that pregnancy means that birth control is unnecessary. if he can't get it up for that, maybe you and the baby are all the "proof" he needs to pass as heterosexual (and in that case, FYL)

Hang on.. so you're married to a guy in a different country...who knocked you up... who then brought you to the same country. This sounds weird, usually if people are going to get married and start a family they should live near each other before hand right? And does he not have a job/income or something. If he's on WoW all the time, why are you having a baby together? I guess you must work, I hope you get maternity pay leave? And i don't really know how you can fix this.. but whatever you do he still has to pay he child support.. right??

Throw his computer out the window. that's ridiculous, I can't believe people forsake their whole lives and a chance for happiness and success just for a stupid game (but I do believe it because I've seen it happen as well). That shit should be illegal, talk about ruining lives and tearing families apart...

obvously haven't thought this through...married, share money so he wil just go out and buy another $1000 computer with the money he makes to support them. minus one beach vacation that summer
