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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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?

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

Did you at least wish him luck or sing him a fight chant??

Don't have sex with him again, every time he begs for it say oh but you can't let your friends down go play your silly game.

I know someone that missed their kid's birth because they were giving their PhD defense.... you know.... to be a productive member of society. WoW, however, is NOT a valid excuse. lamesauce.

#29, my brother is a chartered financial analyst. To get that full title, one must pass three extremely difficult full-day tests, each offered only once a year. My brother was taking the second one when his wife went into labor; he immediately left to meet her at the hospital. That it would take another year to get to take that test again, and thus an additional year before he could take the third, didn't matter a whit to him. He was there for his wife and the birth of their child.

There was a guy talking I trade chat today about how his wife was in labor and he was online... I play wow too. Maybe it was your husband?

If he starts talking again, tell him to get the f off of wow and go be with his newborn!

Well I hope you made it very clear to your butt nugget of a husband that YOU were counting on him and are very pissed at him not being there for you and missing the birth of his child.

He was there for the fun part. Guess that's all that matters to him. /sarcasm

At least your username is awesome OP.

Just refuse to do anything for him from now on like cooking or washing and get your mum to stay indefinitely to help you out until he sorts his act out. I don't know many men who could live with their mother in law for too long.

I was due to join a raid that had been planned, 1 person didnt believe I was in labor and voted to kick me out of the group for every other raid planned, the rest said that is harsh and doesnt sound like a fake excuse, so I asked for the dickwads email address and got hubby to email him a pic of me in the hospital with the new baby afterwards. Said player got kicked out :p
