Today, my boyfriend got angry because I laughed when he asked me if he should retire from being a Pokemon Trainer. He was serious. He's also 21. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my boyfriend of more than two years told me in front of all of our friends that he'd trade me for some Playstation 3 games. I laughed it off because I thought he was kidding. He made it clear that he was serious. 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 husband got angry and stormed out of the house because he claims I wasn't pressing the buttons he told me to while playing Pokemon. FML
Today, my boyfriend who’s rage quit multiple games, screamed cuss words for hitting too many red lights, and broke his new phone when a legendary Pokémon escaped after a raid in Pokémon Go, told me I was too dramatic. Sorry for being depressed that my biopsy results weren’t good. Shit happens, huh? FML
Today, I threatened to break up with my boyfriend over the Trolley Games in Toontown Rewritten for trying to sabotage my scores. We're 24 and 26. FML
Today, my husband started a conversation with, "In Pokémon…" and ended the same conversation with "…and that's why we should divorce." FML
Today, my boyfriend "proposed" to me. When we first started dating, he told me that he hated the concept of marriage and absolutely never wanted to go through with it. So I laughed and turned him down, obviously thinking it was just a joke. He was serious. FML
Today, my boyfriend asked me to beat him up so he could look tough around his friends. When I just stared at him, he added, "Please don't break anything though. Nothing too serious." FML
Today, I got fired, apparently for being racist to black people. When I told my boyfriend, he couldn't stop laughing. He's black. FML
Today, my boyfriend got mad at me because I refused to keep him company while he took a shit. FML

You laughed because you can't ever retire from being a Pokemon trainer, right?

If he caught the original 151 then he can relax a little a true pokemon master continues to catch all of them ( even the new ones...) but to actually retire from pokemon? That's unheard of! Pokemon FTW :D

At 21 pretty much every guy is a man-child. Let him have his Pokeon.

It's true, 10+ years of playing Pokemon and I still get the itch to play every now and then

I loved Pokemon when I was a kid, and was able to list all 151 by heart :) I grew out of it though, and I never once believe I was a real-life Pokemon trainer.. A little piece of advice, if you can't you can't beat 'em, join 'em, OP!

I'm picturing him tightly clutching his stuffed pikachu and angrily sucking his thumb right now.

That is serious, I wish my boyfriend was as dedicated to Pokémon as I am.
