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?

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

I'm sorry OP but he doesn't sound like a guy who's ready to be a dad.

His game addiction should not come as a surprise, you married him.

Some guys get really squeamish about childbirth, but simulated gore and other types of bloody mess don't bother them. He may have not wanted to see you in pain. His excuse sucked, but try asking him if that was the real reason. If so, he has a lot of apologizing to do.

so he couldn't just wait in the waiting room if he was so squeamish? At least just knowing he's in the hospital while she's giving birth would've helped a lot .

What if he doesn't like hospitals? My bf hats hates hospitals and will not go to one even if he has a family member there. I don't want to be mean but we only are hearing one side of the story.

He needs to man the hell up, then! None of that is an excuse. not even an aversion to hospitals. Being a parent is dealing with unpleasantries like blood, poop, pee, barf, mucus -even soaking through your own clothes all over you. He helped create this child, so he needs to be there to welcome him or her into the world (even in the waiting room would be better than nothing!!!!)

Okay, I play this game and I would never do that. My wife being pregnant is far more important than some petty pixels attacking each other.

@52, And that is a why you are win. Ahem...let me get my game show voice.... CONGRAAA-A-a-aTULATIONS! You have won this fabulous new prize. It's the "Not-Asshole-Of-The-Day" award**" Worth absolutely nothing, and not actually a tangible award... but boy, will it make you feel good about yourself! ツ **Disclaimer: Award strictly textual, you will not receive an award in the mail in 2-85 weeks. Because that would be creepy.

Well. That's rather messed up. Meanwhile... you're FMLing the same day you gave birth? Way to bounce back. :P

She had a baby, not open heart surgery. Even if she had a section, she wouldn't be unconscious in bed.

She could only potential die from the child birth I mean it's only the number one killer of women through out history

You might wanna end his subscription. He should man up and be a good husband and a good father. Since when is it okay to put your friends over your wife?

I'm all for gaming. I'm a gamer chick. But there are certain responsibilities that come way before gaming. If my husband did this, that would be the last child we ever have. Wouldn't want to disrupt his bromance on WOW with another labor.

Your wife going into labor is a valid reason for having to bail. If the raiding party can't understand that then he needs a new party not missing his kids birth.
