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.
Today, my boyfriend of 3 months broke up with me because he is moving. He's only moving 20 minutes away. FML
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
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.

I really enjoy video games but I would never choose them over a job/education/girlfriend. He sounds pretty unmotivated to better himself. It's probably for the best, OP. If he moved in you may end up supporting him a few years down the road.

Maybe he lied to you about getting the job and getting accepted and used that as an excuse.

I don't know him of course. But he doesn't seem worth it. You deserve better.

He's going to go far in life. Not. You sure you want to tie yourself to someone like that?

Honestly op you should just dump him. I get that gaming can be important to some people, but when they choose gaming over real life, then that's a problem that won't get better.

Look at the bright side. Now you're not tied to the same guy when it's time to party!

Many online games don't really need a blazing internet speed. It's not a valid excuse.

Depends on the game. If the boyfriend is into FPS games then response time (ie Internet speed) is everything.

If he wanted an apartment with better Internet connection, he should have spoken up before everything was decided and arranged. Having something to de-stress with isn't even the problem here. Yeah, we all like our hobbies, and want to keep them, but when you put something like that above your education, your job, your girlfriend, or really anything in your life that's really important, there's a problem. There are plenty of games that don't require Internet at all. Why can't he play any of those? I love gaming too, and it's a big de-stresser for me. But I managed without any Internet at all for two years because I couldn't afford it when I moved out on my own. Priorities.
