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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

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.

Doesn't sound like one to me. Being a video gamer myself I've been interrupted plenty of times but I've NEVER felt the need to yell at the person who did so, especially my lover.

If a guy stops a video game to talk to you he loves you. Sorry to break the news

Same here, shit I hate it when my girlfriend does that crap. Yes, I love her and all but she ignores me when she is busy.. So Why should I stop my game for her. Either way, I still answer and can't focus to keep on playing my game. And she constantly getting annoying because I can't keep up with her 100 question questionnaire.

Trust me OP, I thought that this gaming was a phase that my fiancé would grow out of, but after 5 years of marriage it's been made very clear what takes priority in our marriage, it isn't me, my feelings, our relationship, or his job - it's video games all the time. I love him, but I should've listened to the red flags. You will always be interrupting him, and all your fights/problems will always be your fault. It just gets worse. If you don't put your foot down on the gaming, like I should've done you'll end up with a husband who plays for 8+ hours a day and thinks that's not enough. Good luck OP

If she forces him to stop, he'll be miserable for the rest of the marriage and blame THAT on her as well.

Never assume that a partners faults are a 'phase they'll grow out of'. I'll never understand people who have a problem with their partner and just brush it under a rug and hope it'll go away. Don't try and stop your partner from enjoying their hobby, learn to live with it or leave. If you talk about it and they still won't change, leave.

Just saying....get out now while you still can.

I agree with number 13, if your fiance can learn to control his anger, then you two should get married. but this can only work if he is willing to change. good luck op

Honestly, I don't understand why everyone on here is telling you to break up with him over this. I'm a woman, and have a lot of guy friends and have had guy room mates, and most guys don't like to talk on the phone, for one. I know you would of not known that he was busy playing video games when you called, but it does actually sound pretty needy to call him up just to tell him you love him. He obviously already knows, and he obviously loves you too, or he would of not asked you to marry him. Now your next step should be to do nothing and just ignore him for a bit and get busy doing other things. Let him call you. Also, remember if you can't beat 'em, join them. Play video games with your man. He'll love you for it! Good Luck!:)

Spot on, ceege. Yes, it's sweet to call and say you love your partner, and yes, his reaction was kinda rude, and clearly hurtful to OP. But it's less about blame, and more about knowing what behaviours bring out the best in each other. Some people thrive on frequent interaction and affection, others need time alone. No, it's never cool to be impolite, but maybe the boyfriend just needs some time to be alone, and feels trapped when that time is interrupted, which makes him lash out.

She should only start playing video games (if she doesn't already) if he agrees to take up a hobby that she enjoys. Sorry I just hate the advice that a girl should join her partner in gaming to 'make him happy' without the partner also doing something they normally wouldn't. It also implies that she doesn't already play games, we don't know if she does or not.

What makes it entirely the guy's responsibility to make the relationship work? He probably puts up with loads of her odd quirks, neediness being one of them, in his opinion. Jeez people, lay off him.

This was 'thumbed' positive, then I change my pic and come back to find it's gone to minuses?
