Today, it was my two year anniversary with my boyfriend. As we were about to exchange gifts, he got a call and said he had to go home immediately. What was the emergency? His guild leader couldn't find another healer to finish a raid and promised my boyfriend gear if he would step up. 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, 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, it was my one year anniversary with my boyfriend. We had dinner reservations to an expensive restaurant and planned to see a movie after. At least, we did, until he called to tell me he'd volunteered to work tonight. He won't get off until 2am. 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, it's our fifth-year anniversary with my boyfriend. I gave him his gift and walked over to the kitchen to serve him some food I'd made. On my way back to the dining room, I overheard his plans with his friend to ditch me in 10 minutes. FML
Today, after a week of not seeing each other, my boyfriend has a three day break from work. This would be great if he hadn't just told me he's having a Guild Wars 2 marathon. Now all I have to look forward to is slow wifi and anguished screams every time his character dies. 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, I gave my boyfriend our festival tickets to keep hold of while I excitedly went home to get ready. He took someone else. FML
Today, my boyfriend bailed on our one year anniversary celebration because his ex girlfriend asked him to go to a wedding with her and pose as her fake boyfriend. FML
Today, my husband went in for surgery and handed me an important document. It wasn't a will or anything similar, but a list of items and gold he wanted passed on to guild members on World of Warcraft. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

...I'd take that deal. In my case, my boyfriend would probably come along to help though. I'm the healer, he's the DD.

when are boys (and in some cases, girls) going to start putting real life first and silly little games second?

I've done end game on many mmos. And I missed enough of raids due to real life. I have had my fair share of texts and calls like that and my response is not my problem tonight.

Next time say this: "SIT YO ASS DOWN! This is our time, your guild can wait." I hope you didn't break up with him over this. It seems like he made a mistake.

I have no idea what this person is even talking about. Figured out its about "gaming" from the comments. Thank God I have a hubby that lives in the real world and would rather actually socialize than sit behind a screen.

So basically you're saying "shame on people who enjoy playing video games to relax and have fun!" You do realize that you can still socialize on the games, right? There's nothing wrong with using video games to unwind. It's just the same as some people reading or watching TV to enjoy themselves.

He's going to spend the next 3 plus hours in conversation and coordinated activity with either 9 or 24 other people. How is that not socializing? All of the human interaction, no pants required.
alycion 39
Yes, it can be social. But when you blow off commitments for pixels that stop mattering the day you stop playing (loot), you need to get a reality check. And this is the same for any hobby. Moderation is key. If you have a special event with a loved one, that should be the focus of the night.

64, that game is awesome. Sorry for the unrelated post I just had to say that.

That's the problem with dating a physician -- they've taken a Hippocratic Oath to help the sick and injured. I hope he doesn't come home covered in blood. On the other hand, you can dump him for a nerd; sure, his income will be less, but at least you'll always know that he'll be plopped on his couch playing video games.

Lol! Thumbs up!

Tell him to switch to Guild Wars 2, much less demanding. Sorry OP I used to love raiding but I never let it get in the way of something huge like that. I hope he made up for it somehow.
