Today, I called my fiancé just to tell him how much I love him, as a sweet gesture. He yelled at me for interrupting his video game and blamed my "neediness" on the fact that I'm menstruating. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Same thing different taste
Dramatic
Today, I was on my period, so I felt a little emotional, and asked my boyfriend for some attention. He said he needed ten minutes to finish his game with his friend. I laid down on the floor and started crying hysterically. He broke up with me and left. FML
Today, my fiancé threatened to leave me for "bleeding too damn much." FML
Today, I was cuddling with my boyfriend after a fight. I told him the reason I was so irritable is because I'm on my period. He yelped in disgust and nearly fell out of bed. Good to know I'm dating a man-child. FML
Today, I told my boyfriend I loved him. His response? "Is that why you have been so clingy and annoying lately?" FML
Today, I called my boyfriend and asked if he wanted to come watch a movie. He seemed eager, until I said I needed the company because my period had started. He then went dead silent, waited a few seconds before starting to fake-snore, then hung up on me. FML
Today, my boyfriend clearly stated that I was "useless" when on my period. FML
Thanks for the support
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, after my boyfriend ignored me for hours playing video games, he gave me some attention for a little bit. When I tried to run my fingers through his hair, I missed and punched him in the face. FML
Today, my boyfriend yelled at me from the other room for washing the dishes "too loudly". FML
Today, while I was at my boyfriend's house, I got my period. About an hour after I told him, he impatiently said, "Is it over yet?" FML

So next time he tries to be frisky and interrupts your activities you yell at him and blame his "neediness" on the fact that he is hard. FYL.

Give him a break, he's probably just got his man period.

Is that kind of like when you kick a chick in the balls? You know, cause neither one of them actually exists.

Never come between a guy an call of duty lol

Sounds like he has been getting his ass kicked by a twelve year old sniper all day. Damn preteen video warriors.
depocadoll 15
Wow. How rude and immature. Lets hope he changes for the better before you commit yourself eternally to him... Jeeze. Sorry he's such a turd to you. :(

@ Swaggcapone I'm honestly not surprised by your comment, considering your name...

Actually, there is a"man period".

No #96, there is no such thing as a ''man period.''

You sure about that? Men PMS harder than any female I know myself included 😂

That's not right for him to do that

that's why its on FML.

Don't complain. If he had said "Sweetie I love you too!", it wouldn't be on this site for us to enjoy.
Wizardo 34
Yeah it sounds like he's still living in Victorian Britain with a mindset like that, might want to rethink a few things OP.

Odd, I pictured the conversation going more like "Hey honey, what's up?" "I loooooove you" "I love you too, what you need?" "I just wanted to call and say I love you" "you've been gone 5 minutes, messed up my kill streak, mumble grump, mumble grump"

I'm with #78 here. My ex called me on my birthday (back when we were together) and we talked for about an hour. Straight after she hung up I sat down to play my new game (I think it was LA Noire), and 10 minutes later she called me again, this time with her friend on the line and got all pissy when I said that we'd already talked loads and I wanted to play the vidya. I think OP is giving us the short version of something similar.

Once u get married, don't even give him the needful !
Cartera 10
That made so much sense!

This should be a sign that your feelings are not now nor will they be his first priority. Dump that dick and move on.
SMHsohard 22
If this has never happened before, have a sit down with him and discuss it. If it happens all the time, why did you say yes in the first place?

Or it may be a sign that he actually has a life of his own and doesn't like to be interrupted while doing something that requires concentration. Sure, most games can be paused, but if you're marrying this guy, you should know by now how he behaves when he's gaming and you shouldn't be surprised if he reacts like this when disturbed. I can relate to OP's fiancé. I only call people or get called if an answer is needed urgently and we use texts for everything else. So if I'm busy concentrating on something and I get a call from my boyfriend, I pick up the phone assuming something's happened that requires immediate attention. If said call then turns out to be like this: Me: "Yes?" Him: "Hiiiii 8)" Me: "My phone is ringing. What's the matter?" Him: "Nothing, I luuuurv you 8)" Then yes, I am going to be pissed. Does that mean I don't love him? No, it means you don't misuse the "emergency hotline" for something you can say in a text, a sweet note, or when I get home. It's like calling 911 to wish the operator a good day.

That doesn't sound like a good way to solve problems... :/

No, it might not be the best way to send a message, but our might be the only one he will understand.

omg i totally agree,OP do that he really deserves to taste some of his posion !!
chabelo 10
lmao you should play video games with him
depocadoll 15
@chabelo that has nothing to do with any of this....?
zandalee 20
Look at it this way, if there is little or no romance in your guy before you get married you are basically ****** from the get-go. Take this as a sign. A big red flag, and move on.
rhysfucker 24
True. Usually issues that are not addressed in the dating / engagement phase only get worse after marriage. Either set new expectations or leave
Pleonasm 36
He's mad because you messed up his killstreak. This is why you don't interrupt ragey gamers, especially not during online gaming, where it's real-time.
nattynatters 14
If he was too busy he shouldn't have picked up the phone and just call back at a better time. She didn't force him to talk to her.
Pleonasm 36
I realise that. The first sentence is facetious. The second one is too, to a lesser extent, but also does serve as a warning that if you DO have a particularly game-ragey boyfriend, it's better to leave him alone- for your sake, not his. Regardless of who is in the wrong or right, if you want to be spared some yelling, it's the better choice. That is all.
SuzyTurquoiseBlu 25
Well, if she has such a game-ragey boyfriend who thinks its perfectly reasonable to yell at her for saying something sweet to him, then she should think about finding someone else who is more suited to her. My husband is a serious gamer, but he has never yelled at me for telling him that I loved him... And if he wanted to stay married, he wouldn't dare.

The demographics of commentators is a real determinant of whether pleo gets thumbed up or down! Men are more likely to appreciate is point than woman!

I feel as though there is more to this situation than meets the eye. Maybe the two have been fighting, aren't on the best of terms at the time, and the fiancé mistook her make up call as another cut at him. Even if this is not the case, I still don't see this as a reason for OP to leave her fiancé. This is one thing! Every person has their odd quirks and things that get under their skin. Being in a relationship is about trusting each other and learning how to make your partner happy. Interrupting the dude's game ticked him off, their relationship is young, and if OP wants it to last, she'll learn. Peace out. Pleonasm you're awesome.
SuzyTurquoiseBlu 25
Oh yes, because there is no such thing as a gamer-woman. There may be more than meets the eye to the situation, she was obviously not calling to say that she loves him out of malice. There was no need for that. No need for him to be mean.
Sheh_fml 25
Totally agreeing with you. If you can't pause the game, then you don't pick up the phone right away. And if PAUSING a game is too much hassle when your partner wants to talk, then you obviously aren't valuing them high enough to have a partner. Games don't spoil, they can always wait.
greenfishbait 19
He's clearly not that terrible considering he answered the phone mid-game, which is more than I would have done. if the fml went "my fiance wouldn't answer my calls because he was gaming" , he would be just as bad.
depocadoll 15
I agree completely, my fiancé is the exact same way. He would "pause" and online shooter to get up, walk over and kiss me. If someone loves you, you'd never doubt it.
stanjohnson 11
I agree, she should leave him alone. Totally alone.
nattynatters 14
So what's his excuse? Guys blame everything on our periods but they think they can be jerks whenever. I love nerd boys but not ones who can't pull their head out of their butt long enough to be nice.
