Today, my girlfriend of 3 years said she was leaving me because recently I wasn't making much money, and was playing too many video games. I recently got a raise at my job of 5 years. The job? Testing video games. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my girlfriend broke up with me because she found out I play video games. No, not that I play too many video games or have an addiction to video games. Just that I play them, period. FML
Today, my boyfriend broke up with me after 2 years of being together. The reason? I don't enjoy playing video games as much as he does. FML
Today, I was playing competitively for my clan in a tournament. Money is involved, and I was doing quite well until my girlfriend up and turned the PS4 off because I wasn't "paying enough attention" to her, despite being on a holiday with her for the previous 3 days. FML
Today, after six months of dating, my girlfriend decided to break up with me because my "obsession" of being on the computer and playing games all the time was cutting into "our time". She then told me to "get a life" and never wanted to see me again. She told me all of this on WoW. FML
Today, I beat my boyfriend in a video game. He promptly dumped me and told me to leave. FML
Today, my girlfriend of several years broke up with me because of my lack of ability to contribute financially to the life that she envisioned for herself, due to my significant contributions in child support to my ex. She wants a more equal partner. FML
Today, I realized that my ex has REALLY dumped me for a video game. And he will not change his mind. FML
Today, my girlfriend broke up with me because she believes I "jinxed" her chances of getting the job she wanted. FML
Today, my girlfriend broke up with me after I beat her once again in a trivia game. She said that I was cheating, and if I was cheating on the game, I was definitely cheating on her as well. FML
Today, my girlfriend broke up with me because I was unsuccessful at a job interview, and she didn't want to be with someone who "has no future". She's unemployed too. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Well it may be your job, but I'm sure it does get annoying that you play all the time.. but it's a plus that you make good money. She needs to choose one. spend more time- less money or spend less time- make more money.

Well, good riddens to her. Obviously she doesn't care for you, only your wallet. Throw a penny at her damn forehead.

I'd say ok **** you and get a new gf and make her jealous, in fact I wouldn't care if my bf was spending less time with me but making more money! Heck new pair of shoes for mama yeaaaaaaa!!!

video game testing usually ruins your video game experience. because you play the same level and same part for hours looking for bugs. yet again, it's hard to get a job like that. considering the pay would be $15-100 dollars per hour.

oh. well good luck with that..
I_iz_B_a_troll 24
Haha well I agree with her, not about the money thing but if all you talk about is video games, I'm sure it would get annoying to someone like me who doesn't like them much, but it's obviously not your fault since you both knew what you were getting into in the relationship. You'll find someone who appreciates you and what you do eventually, don't worry :D

Game testing isnt fun. They give you one section of a game to play for hours until it breaks, then you have to write reports of it all.
RawrNom 0
yes he does! unless he's testing Fable 3! that's only good for half an hour :( I'd say no Fml as it's all good but then you lose a gf. it's okay though, hang out at Game and meet a girl there :) work and play!
DoubleDose 0
stop bitching, your still being paid to play a game. And when it's released and people are drooling over a certain level, you can say *puts on shades* "I tested that level beeyotch!!" and besides I doubt your only allowed to play one specific part, or that they would find out if you did

You're totally right 6, OP had that job the whole time they were dating but now is when it's too much? Though break ups are really hard (especially one's that last several years) you'll be much happier later on that you're not with her OP. Find another girlfriend when you're ready, maybe even one that likes video games! They're not as hard to find these days ; ]
