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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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

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

Ok, seriously! Can anyone on here read?? I said I was THINKING about breaking up with him, not that I DID. I realized I was being silly, that's why I posted it up here. Good job to every moron who can't read a sentence but is bashing me for liking a show that was a MAJOR hit.

OP, I guess? I'm gonna repeat myself here, then: *I* say congrats to you for recognizing the attitude you were developing in time to do something about it. Most people don't.

Wow, what a flame war between the Nipponophiles and the normal folk... But seriously, getting mad and (almost) breaking up with a boyfriend over not knowing what a show is? How shallow can ya get? Maybe if he said he hated it you could justify it as differing interests but DAMN, you could have always just explained it to him. Although if I knew my girlfriend still watched shows about lesbian 'cousins' and magical flower moon magic I think I'd be out the door first.

that's a funny FML. Maybe if you explained to your BF you get him to come with you dressed as Jadeite. :)

Go ahead; dump him. Not because he didn't know who she was, but because you obviously don't like him very much if you want to dump him over something like that. Poor sap.

Dump the heathen! : D Or force him either to look it up on wikipedia or watch a couple of episodes :3

I know how you feel. It's hard to communicate with those who don't share an interest in anime and manga. :)
