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

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

A video game junkie is definitely means for a break up. Unless you play them while she's not around and actually spend time with your girl. Then I wouldn't care too much if it were me. But I've seen people who's bf plays video games while their girl sits on the couch dying of boredom. **** that. I'd break up with u in a heartbeat and find someone who's actually interested in me more than his game. YDI.

Rofl. Wow. It's funny how many people don't know anything about video game testing. It's not just you playing games all day, you do t really even play them. You look for bugs and glitches 8 hours a day doing the same thing over and over again. It's considered the lowest of the low in the video game industry. I was a tester and it is just terrible. Anyways, it's good she left. If she can't support what you want to do, and always whines about mobey, what good is gonna come out of that?

Wow, you guys have absolutely no idea how hard it is to test games do you? Sure it's pretty cool, but it's super tedious and time consuming. Bro, I feel for you man. My uncle tests games too, and he can't even hold a relationship for more than a few months. So kudos to you for making it 3 years! (Btw, my uncle is NOT ugly. When he does date, I'M jealous of his girls!!)

Dude best job ever

Not the best job, it's not playing, it's playing same levels over and over again for 3-6 months. I've been a tester for 4 years and sometimes I wish we would play games instead of working. Plus, pay usually isn't that great.

It sounds unreasonable on her part at first, but... I'm pretty sure video game testing isn't exactly a career path, and as a job, it doesn't make a lot of money. So if you're doing that for five years and not showing much motivation to get a better job, then her assessment is pretty much spot on.
