Today, I moved three hours away from my boyfriend for college. Even though he got accepted to the same school and had a job lined up in town, he decided not to come with me because the Internet at our apartment wasn't going to be fast enough for his gaming. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Same thing different taste
Today, my boyfriend of 3 months broke up with me because he is moving. He's only moving 20 minutes away. FML
Close, but no cigar
Today, my long-distance boyfriend of 3 years uttered the heartbreaking words, “I met this girl here in my hometown and she’s really great and we fell in love with each other, I can’t do this anymore. We’re over.” I was planning on moving to his town after graduation this year. FML
Today, after months of planning, my boyfriend told me he's changed his mind and doesn’t want to move with me to where I got a job. Why? He doesn’t want to live that far away from his mother. FML
Bad sign
Today, my 24 year-old boyfriend said that he wanted to move out of our apartment, but also stay in a relationship. He's moving back in with his parents, over two hours away. FML.
Today, I changed all my plans, after months of him begging me to, so I could go to the same university as my long-term boyfriend. After I sent in my deposit, he told me we couldn't live together in college because I was "invading his space." FML
Today, my best friend decided to make some life changes. He got a new job, a new car, and asked me to move out of our apartment. We're 1,500 miles away from my hometown. I only moved all the way out here to live with him in the first place because he asked me to. FML
Today, I had to choose between staying with my boyfriend and moving out to a better job. I chose my boyfriend. He promptly left me because I didn't take the job. FML
Today, my boyfriend moved. He moved from my room... to my housemate's room. FML
Today, I found out my ex-boyfriend is currently dating a girl who lives in Korea. We broke up because I was moving to a different part of the city for college and he thought the distance would be "too much." FML
Today, my boyfriend informed me via text message that he had moved to Bristol, and the reason he had ignored me the past fortnight was because he didn't know how to tell me. He knew he was moving even before we even got together. FML

He has his priorities straight

In case anybody else was confused, I put an IP trace on #2's comment, and it's from an alternate universe in which the OP talked about being weird and taking away her boyfriend's games. She hid them like Easter eggs.

Let the man have his games. He puts up with your weirdness as well. There's always something

Thank you Tri. God, I thought something was wrong with me.

Well #12, I wouldn't speak too soon. You are on this website after all.

You guys overreacted real hard ? I'm just saying that in a relationship there are usually things both people do that annoy the other. When one person in a relationship complains they have to remember that they have probably annoyed the other person recently. You all need to chill
Tripartita 45
Making jokes and disagreeing are not overreacting; we were chill the whole time. Sure, people annoy each other occasionally in relationships, but this goes far beyond "annoying". He had a job, school, and apartment lined up, then he pulled out to remain three hours away. I find it odd that you presume the OP has done something equally jeopardizing to their relationship and that her BF's actions were simply annoying.

While it might not seem important to you, gaming is a massive part of some people's lives. A slow internet seriously impedes gaming. Slow internet is a good reason to refuse to move into a house. Really some of the blame is on you. If you wanted him to move with you, you should've made sure the new place meets both yours and his needs.
Eyalsh 32
why yes. gaming is a massive part of some peoples' lives, but you have to have priorities like Education, a Job, being physically close to your girlfriend.. these have to be in order. if you put all these below having fast enough internet, i gotta say i don't have a clue how you can get or keep a girlfriend. but that's just me and my little rant.

Why was it HER responsibility to ensure the place met BOTH of their needs? If he is old enough to be going to college, getting a job, and moving in to an apartment/house with his girlfriend, then he is old enough to ensure that whatever place they decide on sufficiently meets HIS needs. And if he couldn't be bothered, then HE shouldn't complain, much less leave his girlfriend in a situation where she is probably scrambling to find a new roommate to take over his half of the lease.

the guy clearly has a place she also can move into. seriously the general populace of this app is becoming slightly dumber by the post

3 hours away from college. That's 6 hours each day just driving. I can't say I blame op for still moving. The drive alone is terrible but think of the gas as well.

Ever heard of the Faze Clan? More specifically Faze Rain? No? Anyway he's a kid (early to mid 20's) who is worth 800k, who got his start playing COD. Have you heard of DanTDM? He is worth $6.2 million dollars just because he plays Minecraft. If you are good at gaming and making great content, that can easily beat out education and a job. No for being physically close. They probably worked it out some how.

The Faze Clan makes excellent vlogtages now. Gee, they really don't give a rat's ass about gaming anymore.

As a watcher of gamers: you make it sound easy. Most gamers still need jobs and go to school while streaming or putting up videos. If you think it's easy to climb up to the top, look at the countless people streaming or putting up videos with barely any views. It's great to try if you want to, but you cannot rely on that. If it takes off, great. If not what do you plan to do? It takes a good personality as well as luck.

Are you seriously trying to justify the whole thing?

Teams that play on a professional level like Fnatic or NaVi do not require jobs as they're paid like actual sports player by their orgs. With that other orgs can actually buy out other team rosters just like FaZe did to G2.ESports in CSGO, or another example; Titan's roster being bought by Envyus. Streamers can be full time or part time, as you can do it as a Twitch partner as long as you have 100+ viewers consistently, you'll obtain a subscribe button and so on so forth. Some examples would be LobosJr or Summit1G. Otherwise, you can do it through Patreon pledges or a donation button.

#11 can you read? how about you actually read the whole paragraph you lazy **** if jumping to conclusions was an Olympic sport you'd have a new metal ranking for first while gold goes to be 2nd place HE never said it was HER fault

Time to rethink your relationship OP.

Lol on every relationship post there is always someone telling op to break up. No exceptions

I'm sure there will be a man at your new school who's smart enough to make you a priority.
godofguns708 5
"smart enough" see its shit that people say like this that makes self righteous brats that think they're the prettiest queen that bitch at everything in society
TMO2142 25
Actually in all logic, school would be the number 1 priority, not having a gf.

It honestly sounds like an excuse to not move in with you. Or he might just be a homebody.
Dr_Awesome654 24
You've heard less than a passage about this person and you're assuming he's lying...
rhymeswithmayo 4
It sounds kinda like a lie to me too, honestly. Moving away from home for the first time is a big thing, and not everyone can handle it. some people make up excuses to avoid doing new and different things.

Yeah, "gaming". Sounds like he's playing games with you.

Why? Unless OP's boyfriend was planning on moving in with OP before hand (which if he was, then it's his own fault about the internet). But if he never said anything about moving in with OP once they found a place, he is in no way obligated to. Maybe it isn't just the internet being to slow, maybe he's comfortable where he's at and just doesn't want to move.
unwantedforlife 14
In all honesty it's his choice and I know I get pissed off when I have a slow internet connection. I'm not sure why everyone is giving the bf such hate. Did he make a decision before that he was going to move in with OP? Or did the OP move into the apartment and think he would follow them?
SilverInGray 25
If he had applied to the school and applied and gotten a job, I'm sure he was also planning on moving.
