Today, I went into labor and got my husband drive me to the hospital. Instead of staying by my side, he rushed back home for a World of Warcraft raid. His excuse? His friends were counting on him and they'd be pissed if he let them down. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I went into labor with my first child, and as much as I pleaded, I had to wait for my husband to finish his raid in World of Warcraft before he'd take me to the hospital. FML
Today, my boyfriend forgot to pick our son up from daycare. His excuse? Fighting in a battle in World of Warcraft was far more important and he had to stay absolutely focused. Our son had to wait for two hours. FML
Today, it was my two year anniversary with my boyfriend. As we were about to exchange gifts, he got a call and said he had to go home immediately. What was the emergency? His guild leader couldn't find another healer to finish a raid and promised my boyfriend gear if he would step up. FML
Today, I begged my husband to take me to the ER cause my stomach hurt so bad I thought I was gonna die. He told me to go sit on the toilet and stop being a drama queen. I drove myself to the hospital just in time for my appendix to burst. I almost died because my husband was busy playing Xbox. FML
Today, my fiancé nervously sat me down for a "serious chat". The chat wound up with him asking if we could postpone our wedding, because his World of Warcraft guild had a raid scheduled for the same day. FML
Today, I realized that my husband has a video games addiction. I am currently pregnant; he brought us to the same country he's in so we can finally live together, only for me to witness him being glued to his laptop all day and all night playing WoW. He's forgotten I even existed. FML
Today, my husband went in for surgery and handed me an important document. It wasn't a will or anything similar, but a list of items and gold he wanted passed on to guild members on World of Warcraft. FML
Today, I was rushed to the hospital to deliver my child. On the way, I called my husband who was in a bar with his friends. Drunk, he just yelled, "BROS BEFORE HOS!!" and hung up. FML
Today, I had to explain to my son that his dad was too busy in a raid on World of Warcraft to be at his award ceremony. FML
Today, my husband was 45 minutes late to our wedding reception. Later, when I asked him why, he said, "I was playing Legend of Zelda and had to finish my quest." He thinks this is an eligible excuse. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Sounds like your baby needs a step dad

You can always have another kid. But that WoW raid will never happen again.

Holy hell you could easily be my ex fiance's wife!! He would say shit like that ALL the time... His "friends" in Australia, Japan, and ALL OVER THE WORLD were "counting on" him....*rollseyes* Sorry yo! Hope he's able to shut the game off to help with the kid!

Swap the genders and everyone would be complaining about spousal abuse (I'm sure you probably would too). Don't be a psychotic drain on society, get some psychiatric help for your violence issues. Good luck with your recovery if you do or have fun denying your issues.

He really needs to sort out his priorities.

For real!!!! What's going to happen when OP needs gamerboy to watch the baby for a while and the guild is meeting? Neglect? It happens!

Did anyone else read this in Ron Weasley's voice?

It sounds like you need to have a serious discussion with your husband on the topic of his priorities.

Try telling that to Jesus...

I have a hunch that Jesus would agree with #15

The amount of dislikes you have tells me your hunch is wrong.

"Childbirth is more important! " My level 80 Warlock begs to differ.

Max level is 100 now. 80 is nothing

It was a joke one of my friends actually used in an AP English class debate. That's why it's 80 not 100. #FrontRowSquad

80 is still somethinv for lowbies.

I have a gamer boyfriend of 5 years. I know what it is like but there is is no excuse to miss the birth of your child. And I know most gamers will forgive missing a raid. Sorry OP for going through this but please give him a reality check. Hope things go well for you.

Two types of gamers out there: Ones that do it to chill...as a release of tension, etc, after a long day. Annnnnnnd those who ONLY live for the guild. The second type might get lucky and find a chick willing to tolerate them. But generally the game comes between them and people/things in the real world. You're fortunate to have found a functional gamer. OP, not so much.

Nothing wrong with someone having a hobby. I'm pretty sure all of your attention isn't on him either. When it becomes an obsession is when you should start whining and leave.

I would class that as an obsession now 167
