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 hope his friends knew you went into labor so they can tell him what a horrible person he is.

How the hell did you even marry him? You must've seen this coming, I broke up with my boyfriend because his gaming was coming before dates. I know you sacrificed a lot in that relationship in order to get where you are, when are you going to wake up?

why are you posting on FML the day you went into labor? That's just as bad as your husband, looks like both of this baby's parents can't put down there apps or games.

FML posting rule is that all FMLs begin with "Today." That does not, in fact, mean the story actually occurred "today" or when the OP went into labor and gave birth. And even if it did, submitting a post takes no time at all, she could do it while the child's sleeping. But given the way the FML was written, that she'd talked to her husband to find out why he left her, tells me some time has passed since the birth.

FML's are supposed to start with "Today," not "Yesterday" or "Tomorrow" or "7 years ago" or anything like that. And what does posting on here have to do with going into labor? Obviously she posted this after having her kid maybe some hours ago, which would still count as "Today,"

While in labor, if you have an epidural, it's possible to have downtime before the actual birth. And at some point during the couple days in the hospital, baby may have been sleeping....OP could have had a moment of feeling a little upset about the father missing everything...and had the thought of cranking out an FML. It'd take her all of 30 seconds...... not that out of the realm of possibility. And it doesn't make her a bad person. Its DEFINITELY not even comparable to missing the birth for WoW!!!
