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
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.

Break up with him, you'll be doing him a favor. I personally love Sailor Moon, but you have the mentality of a ten year old child. I wouldn't date you.

My god, woman. You need to invest in a muscle relaxer! Besides, all you had to do was ask him to dress as Tuxedo Mask, and that'd be that.

No, you should totally break up with him. You should hook up with some guy at the convention who has no clue how to please a woman... wait... maybe you should just be stoked that your boyfriend has a life.

That is so stupid, just because he didn't know who Sailor Moon is. Why get angry over that?

A. so its a little childish to watch the show. but wtf does everyone want to grow up so fast anyway? They end up winding up like insensitive assholes like half of you who post on this. I'm sure all of you have some childhood memento you still love. B. she obviously didn't break up with him. She posted this on fml to show how stupid she was for considering it for a while. sometimes in an argument you dont always think all the sides out. But obviously she did afterward. God, is it that hard to understand?

HAHAHAHA. I'm Asian, Anime's like a requirement for me. My sister is always pissed off that I can't pronounce Haruhi and call her Suzumiya instead.

@#91: Look, some people like to relive their childhood. When my best friend has writer's block when it comes to creating characters she plays with her barbies and picks the one that fits the name.

Um... Maybe it was for her since I don't think Alabama has that many Asians... But anime has been around for a long time. Astro Boy, Doraemon... My parents grew up with those anime. That said, I'm from Hong Kong so our cartoons aren't the American cartoons that you find in the US and generally are from Japan. So maybe you didn't have Sailor Moon and whatnot in your childhood, but a lot of other people did. Nevertheless, YDI since not knowing what some anime person is isn't really something to get mad over. After all, you're from Alabama. Asian culture doesn't exactly thrive there so not everyone's going to know about anime and whatnot. And yes, I'm biased against Alabama, bc I can't imagine fobs there.
