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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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 haven’t spoken to my husband in a week, and when I finally spoke to him he thanked me because he’s gotten so much work done round the house, caught up on all his paperwork for his job, and reconnected with his Xbox friends. I didn’t realise I was such a fucking distraction. FML
Today, my husband returned from being away for two weeks. I eagerly got myself ready and sent him a risqué picture so he would come to bed. An hour later, he's on the couch playing Xbox with the message already seen. 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 finally got a hold of my husband, who I haven't actually talked to in two and a half weeks, since he's deployed and it's hard to chat. He told me he couldn't talk because he was in an epic battle. In Call of Duty. FML
Today, my husband said a cheery, "Hi!" to me after 4 hours of nonstop Zoom calls. I spun around happily and greeted him back. Turns out he just joined another Zoom call. 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 in a really good mood, and I greeted my husband with a grin and a "Hi, babe!" He just muttered, "Why can't you just DIE?" and continued playing his video game. FML
Today, after a long 16 hour shift, I was milliseconds from sleep when my girlfriend said she "wants to talk". I'm now writing this from the couch. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

why would you even want to talk to anyone after a 16-hour work day...

if its a expensive headset, they are build to block out background noise. i can hear 0, when talking with my friends online :)

That's awful. = When my fiance comes home and I'm playing WoW, I take my headphones off and talk to him. Although I have a noise cancelling headset with mic, I can see him come in, so maybe he didn't see or hear you!

Happens to me when Im playing online on pc ,people talking to me and i cant hear them cause the headset is made to keep the sound in so you cant hear anyone talking to you if they are speaking

I'm confused, did it seem like he was responding or was it just random talking?

How did it take you 10 minutes to notice that he wasn't answering you?

If he had headphones on, maybe he didn't even hear you walk in.

Take off your clothes and get in front of the TV, bet you'll have his undivided attention then! If not, call a lawyer.........

You don't need to be playing a game to talk to people through Xbox Live. Anyways, it's not like he was trying to ignore you. He didn't do anything wrong.

Just walk into the room naked from the waist down. See how long that takes him to notice.
