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
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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
Today, my boyfriend and I broke up. He said it was because he wanted to 'do his own thing'. So gaming 24/7 like he has for the past two years of our relationship, then. 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, when my new boyfriend told me he liked playing games, he meant a 60" TV with a professional gaming chair in the middle of his living room, and 48-hour gaming marathons where he totally ignores me, refuses to sleep or shower, and only has energy drinks and cheerios. FML
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
Today, after weeks of my yelling, my boyfriend finally listened and got a hobby. Instead of getting into something sensible like martial arts, he chose tabletop gaming. Now I have to listen to hours of boring stories about pretend fantasy worlds, and admit to everyone that my boyfriend is a nerd. 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, 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 became apparent that my boyfriend only showers when he levels up on World of Warcraft. FML
Today, my boyfriend dumped me because he said the relationship was too tough for him. When I asked for an example, he responded, "Like, I don't have enough time to play World of Warcraft." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I hate it when girls bitch about guys playing video games, if he was to go camping with buddies most girls would go with and share the experience with him.....what is it about society that has made it villainize gaming to the point where it's impossible to enjoy it together.....think of it this way, its not like he's asking op to start smoking crack....btw I am a hardcore gamer, and have a record of about 80. Hours straight playing games, and my girlfriend sat and we just talked and I explained the game, which she played with me after day 2, which she enjoyed because we were doing it together.....it was so worth having to go see mer family the next week. My point is......... Would all the lame bitches go f*** themselves please

"Guild Wars 2 marathon? Cool! I'm gonna go out with my friends, binge drink and dance with random men. And no... You get any when I come home drunk, if I come at all". That should do the trick... :P

It's understandable to feel left out an ignored especially because it seems like you're not into gaming. You just have to tell him how you feel about it, my bf and I game together but sometimes I may not want to so he takes little breaks for me. Just talk to him and sort it out.

Well as a Gamer play GW2 as well I'd tell you to join him. It's an easy game to learn and he will probably be really glad that you are playing with him.

I bought Guild Wars 2 for my boyfriend, thinking it was a dumb game...then, to humor him, I made a character...and got sucked into playing it. It's actually pretty cool :) and I am now the coolest girlfriend ever to him and his friends. And now, he doesn't have to ignore me when he plays, because I can join in or at least chill while he plays. Seriously, it's not that bad.
