Today, my boyfriend told me he wouldn't be able to cover his share of the rent because he didn't work during the week, saying business has been slow. I checked and found out he called in sick four times. He wanted to stay home and watch online gaming matches. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my boyfriend wanted me to sleep over at his house. Then he found out that it was that time of the month for me, so he told me that he had to work this weekend and said "see you sometime next week." He doesn't have a job. FML
Today, my boyfriend called work because he is sick. Then he called me four times while I was working, to complain that I was working, and then he got mad when I told him I was sick and worked a double shift two days in a row, because apparently that's "insensitive" of me. FML
Today, I was feeling sick, so I called my boyfriend who lives down the street to come and keep me company. He replied with, "no, I can't come over, I'm busy, I'm playing xbox." FML
Today, my boyfriend took a day off from work because he felt "sick". I thought he might come see me since he hadn't come over in a while. Nope, he went to hang out with his ex instead. FML
Today, my boyfriend refused to take me out on our three year anniversary because he was busy, "training to become a professional gamer." FML
Today, my boyfriend told me he was going to take me out somewhere special, so I called in sick for work. Turns out he had made reservations for the restaurant I worked at. FML
Today, my boyfriend accused me of not coming home at all last week. The truth is, I was up and gone to work before him every morning, and I was home after he went to bed. He didn’t even bother talking to me or asking where I was last week, we both work 24/7 on-call jobs, and he knows this happens sometimes. FML
Today, I went to my boyfriend's house after working a night shift. The door was locked and, so I wouldn't wake his parents, I called him. Twelve times. Each call went to voicemail and I was left standing outside in the freezing rain until he finally let me in. What was he doing? Playing video games. FML
Today, I woke up feeling awful, having caught the same illness my boyfriend had last night. When he was sick, I skipped my friend's baby shower to take care of him. Now that I'm sick, he goes to a friend's place, says to call if I need him, then turns his phone off. Seriously. FML
Today, I was told I'm lazy by my boyfriend because I skipped work. He skips his all the time and when I get home still have to cook and clean up after him. FML

One: because it's about rent. Homie don't play no games with money. Two: she was curious to see. Maybe he's pulled the same thing before.

The only big gaming competition that I know of that happened recently was the CS:GO Dreamhack and there were lots of people that had hundreds if not thousands of dollars worth of in-games items being bet on those matches.

I'm not going to tell you to dump his ass, though I'd strongly recommend it. But do tell him he's going to have to find a different place to live. Signed, ex-girlfriend of a lazy, rarely-employed bum.

These are some serious "re-evaluate the relationship" level issues. He's definitely at fault, not just for lying but also for jeopardizing your housing and credit. To top that off, you checked in, so on some level you were expecting this. Has he pulled this before, or are you just used to him prioritizing gaming over your relationship?

Or maybe the reason she checked in was to see how long work would be slow for and that's how she found out. Either way choosing gaming over paying bills is extremely irresponsible and to top it off OP may have a hard time trusting him now that he lied.

Seems legit

Wow OP, I'd figure out something soon hun. Maybe find a reliable roommate and dump his ass to the curb! At this point he's just living off you.

Consider this a gift. You just got a good look at what your life will be like if you marry him.

So true!

Dump him. Or don't. Either works. He's irresponsible and lazy from the sound of it. A liar to boot. I can't see why you would want to live with him any longer, and in the end, if you can't trust them too live with, can you trust them to marry later on in life?
