Today, my boyfriend called me and I told him about the AnimeCon I'm attending, and that I wanted to go as Sailor Mars, he told me he had no idea what that was. After being mad for about ten minutes, I realized that I wanted to break up with him over not knowing what Sailor Moon was. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my boyfriend introduced me to his parents and siblings for the first time. Their first reaction was, "Oh? You're her? All this time we thought you're some cartoon character from yet another lousy anime he keeps babbling about." FML
Today, at a Con, I saw a girl in an impressive cosplay of a character from one of my favorite video games. I complimented her on her costume and got a picture with her. Later, my girlfriend called me a cheating creep and broke up with me. FML
Today, my boyfriend broke up with me, because apparently I need to "grow up". He's the one who excessively plays Call of Duty and still has Pokémon and Bionicles in his room. FML
Today, my boyfriend dumped me for knowing more about Batman than he does. He's only seen some of the movies, and as a kid my dad owned a comic book store. He still doesn't see why I should know more, because I'm a girl, and "girls aren't supposed to know about superheroes." FML
Today, I went to a wedding with my boyfriend. He became moonstruck with one my friends and said she looked sexy in her dress. The whole night, I was nonexistent to him. He’s now confused as to why I’m giving him the silent treatment. He literally has no clue. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I broke up because we got into a fight over what color that confusing black and blue and white and gold dress was. FML
Today, I went to go meet my boyfriend at a restaurant to tell him it just wasn't working out. Before I could do so, he proposed. I had to tell him no, so he started to cry and ran out. Everyone looked at me like some kind of monster. FML
Today, my boyfriend of two years said he would finally take me somewhere romantic. I spent my day at a Star Wars convention. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I had the worst fight of our relationship, and I’m not sure we’re going to make it. Why? Because out of all his hobbies and interests that I’ve happily joined in on, I said I had no interest in Harry Potter. FML
Today, I told my husband we could have a "him" day, visit the comic book and games stores, then watch anime. He refused to believe I was genuine, and asked what bad thing I did that I was trying to make up for. We ended up not doing any of it because he thinks I can’t be nice to him without a motive. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

How old are you? Ten? You don't break up with someone for that kind of reason.

wtf you wanted to break up with your boyfriend because he didn't know something from a show 15 years ago? You need to work out your priorities.

be happy he doesn't break up with YOU for knowing who sailor moon is

477 & 477 It's really fun reading that in an Indian accent. "Welcome to Apple Tech Support. Sailor moon is my favorite show. Do you need help with your iPod device? I have watched all two hundred episodes. SCREW YOU; I NOW VOID YOUR WARRANTEE!"
megapeyt 17
OP stfu. He sounds like a normal HIGHER functioning human being. You on the other hand have your head so wrapped around a FANTASY world that DOESN'T even exist that for the few moments when reality bites you in the ass, you get pissy and hurt people around you. Grow the frick up. Your boyfriend deserves better. Besides, the way I look at it, if you're willing to break up with him over something THAT inconsequential, he really is wasting his time.

yes, it realy sucks for you that your BF is straight... sorry Sailor Moon doesn't appeal to most guys(even assuming anime geek).
OtakuX 0
Actually, no, Sailor Moon DOES appeal to male anime fans. At Sailor Moon panels at cons, about half the people there are guys, myself included. Hell, I got into anime BECAUSE of Sailor Moon, back in 95. And that's a DAMN good reason to dump some guy.

you're an idiot

YES!!! i think he should just look up sailor moon and join in... otaku Nerds FTW!

I've dumped girls for not knowing Astro Boy, Voltron, Patlabor, and Evanglion. Different girls. If they don't know important stuff, why would I stay with them?
regalarius 0
I'm curious if the spelling of "Evangelion" counts as "important stuff."
OtakuX 0
Typos happen. Although yes, knowing the spelling of Shin Seiki Evangelion is important. As well as knowing Gainax in general.

You elitist ****, you deserve to be alone for the rest of your life. I hate otakus who think they're above everyone else for knowing all the japanese names for obscure series. **** you, you're not worthy of respect.

No...no it isn't...
Fateless_Fighter 0
Ummmm, We just like anime. And Becuase you don't have any intrest in it is fine, just, I dont find a reson why should hate us. and why would me think were above everyone eles ....seriously, you like what you like, we like what we like.
TSDM 0
#318, that's harsh isn't it? And as for anime fans knowing obscure stuff, Sailor Moon was almost as mainstream as Dragon Ball Z in its time.
lilacwords 0
Seriously.. and I'm a girl. I watched it when I was like... 3? Idk, I'm embarrassed to be in the same state as this chick.
markssh 0
You're dumped them for not knowing about certain characters/series? I hope you realize they wouldn't know unless they were an otaku. That's a small thing. It's your job to educate them and watch the series with them. If they won't do it, then I can maybe see a cause for dumping them.
yuibo 0
YAY! sailor moon rocks!

Since when is Sailor Moon an "obscure series?"

LOL fag
legoomyxgreggo 0
I don't know how much YOU know about anime, but if you knew half as much as you seem to try to act like you know, you'd definitely know that Sailor Moon is hardly "obscure" in any sense. So how about you take the elitist stick out of your ass before you go berating other people?

major otakus scare me. A lot.

I_Bite 22
I think for me it wouldn't bug me enough to dump them unless they blatantly refused to even try to pay an interest. Simply because I'm more than happy to try and be interested in things that are important to him enough to talk about it at least

You're such a bad girlfriend. Seems to me you have a serious case of douchbagary.

Why are you replying to my comment? I hate when people do this just to be at the top of the page.
krazygirl100 9

she didn't break up with him. She said she thought about it read the fml.

**** his life.

Mm-hmm. Can you imagine if he forgot an anniversary date or something like that. She would probably try and spirit bomb the earth.
cutecarebear 0
LOL xD That'd made me rawful... And I guess if he didn't answer her call she'd send Charizard to smoke his ass out? Kekeke :)

you guys made my day, lol!
Dante167 0
Haha dude I totally agree. Anime kids should stay with other anime kids. They're so weird/socially awkward, noone but other otakus/pseudo asians deal with them. :P Can you imagine if she found out he was cheating on her? She would probly throw some hand signs and try to kill him with some jutsu. OP: YDI for being such a nerd. :D
blargity 0
how does she deserve it for being a nerd? maybe she deserves it for being overly obsessive but not for being a nerd :D this is a bad reason to break up which is a lot like that girl who wanted "someone more like edward cullen" geeks/dorks/nerds are generally much more friendly and accepting than the rest of society so therefore they pwn everyone else

Today, my girlfriend wanted to dump me because I don't know about an anime show. FML

Not all anime fans are socially awkward. One of my friends who loves Ouran High School Host Club is one of the most popular boys in my grade and is on the football team.

Hear hear! This man has the right idea. And you OP are a dumbass. Way to want to dress like a total ho to an AnimeCon.

Way to encourage her to dress that way and call her a ho for it in the same comment.
iKaite 0
Not a man. I'm a woman. Maybe I just have the right idea about what men like.

I agree in the sense that she knows what guys like... You can come to my house dressed like that, I wont turn you away.

What if she weight 300 pounds? XD

@128 It's one thing to dress like a ho for you BF, it's another thing completely to go to a large event like that dressed like a ho PS- my bad iKatie, i apologize
