Today, my fiancé completely missed the birth of our first child because he had started watching a new series on Netflix and really wanted to know how it ended. By the time he made it to the hospital our daughter was already 7 hours old. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I gave birth, but my husband was late and got here just in time to cut the cord. He was hung over after celebrating his impending fatherhood all night. He missed the cord twice, cut it, then fell over, and wound up in the bed next to mine, with a hydrating IV and a bashed head where he hit it on the baby's cot. FML
Today, I gave birth to a baby girl. Where was my husband after the agony finally ended? Standing just outside the room, flirting with a nurse. FML
Today, I had to snatch my son's phone to hang up his “super important work phone call” and force him to pay attention to the nurse trying to hand him his newborn son, while his wife was passed out. He's so career obsessed, I don’t think he noticed his son being born at all. FML
Today, during the birth of my first child, my epidural didn't work. FML
Today, because my husband wasn’t paying attention, he gave our 6 year-old his Netflix instead of the kid safe settings, so she watched a very gory horror film that has given her nightmares, so I now haven’t slept in 5 nights because of it. My husband face sleeps soundly through her screaming. FML
Today, my wife is giving birth to our first born. I am an officer stationed overseas. Apparently, I am not only missing the birth, but I also missed the conception. FML
Today, my wife cancelled on our date we had planned for over a month. It would have been our first one-on-one date since the birth of our first child. Our child is over 13 months old. FML
Today, I went into labor with my first child, and as much as I pleaded, I had to wait for my husband to finish his raid in World of Warcraft before he'd take me to the hospital. FML
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 realized my marriage is over. I was in labor with our first child and my husband acted like being there with me in the hospital was a chore. However, he saw a young nurse and his mood did a 180. He left soon before I gave birth because he “got hungry.” All of this and he STILL has no clue why I’m upset with him. FML

You sure you want to marry him? He seems to have his priorities a little mixed up.

If he can misses the birth of his own daughter, imagine what else he will miss down the road. Rethink before you marry him.

That's ridiculous! He needs to reexamine his priorities. A Netflix marathon can be put on hold but his daughter is only born once. Plus during childbirth it's really important to have the emotional support of your partner. The fact that he didn't think that you might want him there more than he wanted to watch his tv show is very immature and selfish.

You mean ex fiance right? Because if he's seriously putting a tv show before your kid before she's even born, you should drop that like a hot potato.

If he was my fiancee, he would be gone. I don't put up with that crap. My husband fell asleep both times I was in labor (reasonable after being in labor for 21 hours with my first and 36 with my second). On my second child (girl), I almost died during labor. He was there. That is sad that he can't stop the TV for a few hours to see his daughter. He can pick it up later.

That does not bode well.

You may want to rethink marrying this man. If Netflix is important then his daughter's birth, then can you really trust him to be there when he is really needed? For example, your child needs to be picked up from daycare and he decides to put it off until the big game is over. Perhaps your car has a flat and you need him to pick you up, but he goes, "Just let me finish this card game with the guys first."
