Today, after having my husband ask if I 'had any plans' for the weekend, and him mentioning that he got me something special, he played his PS4 for hours, ignored me, then finally took a break to hand me a tiny box of chocolates. I can't even be mad because he looked so proud. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Same thing different taste
I feel love
Today, for Valentine’s Day, I got my boyfriend chocolates, a new Xbox game and planned lots of kinky sexy time. He ate the chocolate, orgasmed after three thrusts, had a 2-hour nap, then ignored me while playing the new game all afternoon. He didn’t get me anything, not even my own orgasm. FML
Grumpy git
Today, it's my husband's birthday. I tried to buy him a new computer game, to which he complained. I cooked him steak and his favorite cake, and got him another nice gift instead. Hours later, his online friends bought him a new game and it was the only time I saw him genuinely smile. 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
Valentine's truth
Today, I got my husband his favorite candy and wine for Valentine's Day. He got mad and accused me of doing it to "bribe" him into bed, since he hasn't been wanting sex lately. When I asked how he could say something so cruel, he admitted that he's been cheating on me, and my gift made him feel guilty about it. FML
Today, after ordering a custom $200 Valentine's Day gift box for my husband, he gave it away to a female coworker upon delivery because Valentine's Day isn't for guys. I hope she like the new Xbox one controller and all the gift cards as well. FML
Today, when I got home from work I was pretty "in the mood" so I put on some cute undies and a tank top and went to get my boyfriends attention, he was so into his new computer game all I got was a half smile and a pat on the head. FML
Oh no you don't!
Today, I woke up to my partner showering me with love and gifts. Confused, I asked, "What's the occasion?" It was our anniversary. Not only had I forgotten, but I'd also scheduled a gaming marathon with friends for the entire day. FML
Today, my boyfriend of almost two years proposed to me. Everything was perfect. The ring was beautiful. And seconds after I said yes, he went to play his new Xbox game. FML
Today, it is my boyfriend's and my one year anniversary. I bought him a Playstation 2. As soon as I gave it to him, he went straight to set it up without giving me anything. I said "What about me?" He walked over to me, gave me a kiss and said "I love it when you buy me things for no reason." FML
It's the thought that counts
Today, I woke up and my husband said he got me a gift for our one year anniversary and that it was on the table. We laid around cuddling and when I finally got up I was expecting to walk out to beautiful bouquet of flowers. I got two packs of cigarettes. FML

At least he was romantic for a couple minutes not like some of us forever alone!

Yes treat him like a 13 year old, Jesus. How about talking through it and acting like an adult.

Try making some romantic plans to go out!

I'm sorry your husband's a moron OP.

I think you should do something. For now unplug his ps4 and promise no sex or food until he pays you more attention and love.

Or you know...communicate the problem instead of holding sex hostage.
Zelphoric 25
Yeah, hold him hostage in his basement without food or water until he learns his lesson. Oh wait that's stupid. OP just needs to talk to him and resolve the issue.
gichikku 14
But that sounds exactly like what dead pool would do
Zelphoric 25
Well I'm pretty sure OP isn't deadpool.
gichikku 14
It was a joke towards your reply.
MOOSE786 8
You obviously have never had a boyfriend
thesmeagol 22
I second the basement hostage scenario.
Arkham_Callabero 15
Why don't you send him to his room without dessert while you're at it
zykrithium 22
#17 your profile picture is of Deadpool you nimrod. Or did you somehow forget that?
Miss_Whipped 43
Pretty sure he didn't forget it, he's just not making obvious jokes about it, you nimrod.

It's so nice that a group of people have just committed to being alone for the rest of their lives so they can focus on other things than relationships! Your founding member was Nickola Tesla. Oh, is that not what forever alone means? Because every time I hear it I just assume the person isn't interested in a relationship and move on to someone more optimistic.
MrsDruidess 23
now see the reason we are "married and alone" is because if crap like this! We allow them to ignore us and then think, "oh at least we got a few minutes of attention" . . .thats crap! OP you shouldn't have waited around all weekend for him to make a move, its not 1916, you can plan and make your own move. You, lalaaa520 and, yes even me, have to speak up and let our significant others know we want/need more! Appreciate what they have done but respectfully ask for more. Our relationships, we are worth it!
Ramisme 12
I hope that if you're willing to ask for more, you're also willing to give more. I've seen way too many women wanting more but not willing to give.

I can see how you could be dissatisfied, but you should enjoy the presence of your husband, not the gifts he gives you on a corporate controlled holiday.
SixthSinEnvy 39
So she should enjoy him sitting on his ass playing PS4 instead of making a romantic dinner together, watching a movie, or even asking if she wanted to play WITH him? Sure the gifts don't really matter but there's still activities to do together. He just played alone doing as he pleased which is inexcusable.
bapbap_fml 15
But it sounds like she didn't even have his presence, he ignored her.
epost1 13
You're right, my point of view was stupid.
bigbrown24 17
maybe hes not the romantic type?
ohSNAPyall 27
Not a good excuse. "Not a romantic type" is a fine excuse for not coming up with some creative, beautiful gesture... but Valentine's Day has some standard romantic ideas too, like dinner together, that he didn't try for.

It's "Life was like a box of chocolates".

@ #15 Only if you ate them all.
crudeandrudeguy 29
You know what's annoying, people who are wrong correcting people who were right. Yup, that'd be you 15....
TheNewGuy03 29
Plot twist: 15 is entirely composed of chocolate.
CheekyRaccoon 27
#39 if he was trying to quote Forrest Gump, then he would be wrong. If you don't believe me then check for yourself.
dabaerju 23
Life is like a box of chocolates. Some are white chocolates, some are milk chocolates, and some are dark chocolates. But you know the best part? They're all equally divided.
SixthSinEnvy 39
That's inexcusable. You need to have a serious talk with him. You don't spend an entire day dedicated to love in front of the PS4 then make up for it with a 5 dollars box of chocolates.
Tthug 34
Eh. Valentine's is a silly day perpetuated by retailers. Now I'm not defending him...but I totally understand. Because BO3 had double XP and double weapon XP all weekend (in MP AND zombies) and...still does until Tuesday...how could any gamer resist? Maybe he thinks the replacer is actually going to take his wife out.
SixthSinEnvy 39
Easy. You have until Tuesday. 4-5 hours of your Sunday won't cost you but maybe 3-4 levels. Big whoop. All I'm saying is all the time he wasted playing alone he could have taken a few hours to spend with her. Go to dinner, do the nasty, take a moonlight walk (if it's warm enough where they live), watch a movie, go adopt a puppy. It doesn't matter. Valentine's Day is a day to acknowledge the people whom you love. If this was a Christmas FML where he'd rather play games instead of exchange gifts would you still feel the same way of it being a retail perpetuated holiday? It's kind of the same thing.
Tthug 34
It was a joke... Christmas would be roughly the same, yeah. Retail perpetuated spending money you don't have in most cases. I'm all for spending time with people. And really if you have a significant other spending money on them, sure why not, makes them feel special. I was just saying I understand this guy. He seems out of touch with a lot of things. And finally haha. No. 5 hours, 3-4 levels? More like 30-40 with double XP. Still shouldn't come before your spouse, but I thought people would see the joke.

Sarcasm is my favorite.

It's a capitalistic holiday, it means absolutely nothing. You can love your wife more than one day a year, don't be ridiculous.
Timmip12 9
You must suck if you only level up 4 levels in 5 hours
Pokefinch27 17
Sell his PS4 and buy yourself something nice
flamingarrow59 21
Ya act like a 10 year old and piss him off. Seems like a great idea. That's the way to get someone to be romantic.
Arkham_Callabero 15
I guarantee you that's one way to be single in a millisecond
JZY1989 23
he should of made more of an attempt.
masterreader878 12

yes I realized the mistake after the edit timer thing was gone.

I've read a lot of FMLs like this where the "husband" is too busy playing video games. As far as I am concerned those guys a just kids, not adults and they shouldn't have gotten married until they can get their priorities straight, at least that's my humble opinion.
myshinynose 11
You're absolutely right that some people need to grow up before they get married. But gaming is only a problem when the partner doesn't share the same interests :D My husband and I both play games. It's our way of unwinding during the weekend. If I want to do something else I just let him know, and he does the same for me.
interesting33 37
Nothing wrong or childish about gaming, but it is important to take time for others too
NYM88 26
It's not to say that there is anything wrong with gaming, but when it takes precedence and priority over more important things and/or consumes most if not all of your "free" time then there is a problem.
