Today, my husband went downstairs to play Call of Duty. When he came back after only 20 minutes I said, "Awww, did you miss me?" He said, "No, the controller died." FML
bluestarr1 tells us more.
I'm pregnant & on bed-rest. I rely on him for a lot since I can't go downstairs. I thought him playing COD with his friends would give us a break from our constant interactions with each other. It just wasn't long enough for him. And keeping him entertained wasn't a part of our wedding vowels.

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

You should spend more time with him. He must be very bored.

Spice your relationship up... By bring the tv and COD upstairs, so he can see you!

she should spend more time with him because he plays call of duty? or because his controller died?

Comment moderated for rule-breaking.
He seems like he has his priorities wrong, if i had 24 hour access to girl and call of duty, I'd go for the girl, no hesitation, cod sucks :P

53-my last 3 boyfriends have all been obsessed with COD. So if you can't beat em, join em. I can now kick ass at COD, so the agreement is if they win, they can keep playing. If I win, they spend time with me ;) try it.

They should play COD together, it'll give them quality time and enjoyment.
Vasin_fml 15
That doesn't seem like a legitimate reason to stop playing, unless there aren't any batteries/no plug n' play.
humorizer 14
Alternate scenarios: Wife: "Did you miss me?" Husband: "YUP!" Wife, a few hours later: "Wait a minute... his batteries were dead. My husband lied to me. FML." Wife: "Did you miss me? Wait... he's still downstairs?!" (A few hours later) Wife: "... He's still there... FML." There's no winning for this guy. :/

40- I wish my husband thought that way! 53- not only in Ohio. I live in FL & got the same story here!

Give him head while he's playing COD?
Midnite_2raw 5
86-Getting head while playing is extremely distracting......
crymore007 11
yeah and if he's a rager and tries to bang his controller against the floor, but forgets his wife is there, shed probably get a concussion. (reference to another fml)

53- what made me lol is the fact that I never had this problem until I dated and lived with a guy in Ohio. to piss him off I'd say I want to play... and tell him the dishes need done, and if he wanted the controller back he has to do the dishes. then I got attached to the game... were broken up now but I can't stop playing it. haha

You must buy rechargeable batteries that'll recharge while plugged in to the console.

Maybe he just wants some goddamn time to himself. Get over yourself, sweetheart

xlord 27
People who say honesty is always right must think about this: girl very worried about her weight asks do I look fat inthese jeans? ( and she actually does)
humorizer 14
Indeed, for moments like that, just say the truth: "Naw, you don't look fat in THOSE jeans... You look fat in ALL jeans."
maz255 10
when i get those kinds of questions, i need a moment, so i grab some twix..
TwitchingNebula 17
YDI for being needy and insecure.
a_nutritionist 10
@58 you can be honest without being a twat. people dont usually go off when someone is honest but polite about it. if they do, why the **** did you marry them?

It's twenty minutes though, get over it.

Wow and he couldn't charge It?!

Why don't you go join him?
audiophileMom 11
Maybe because she finds cod a major waste of time? Some find knitting boring others don't care for video games.
xStaciexLynnx 15
Yeah but you're supposed to sacrifice and spend time with your spouse. She wouldn't have to play with him. Just be in the same room and do something she enjoys. :-)
xlord 27
^^^ don't want to start a war but I think battlefield fanboys do
SpruceDread4578 13
^^_or people who think it's repetitive. Or both. Idc I'm having both preordered and mass effect 3....oh happy year. Thank god ME3 comes out on my birthday!! :D
LaughinStock 16
74 hell yea ME3 looks so badass and COD I used to have good times with that, but :( it looks like the same
UnfOrg1ven 1
tell me about it, theres fanboy wars about ps3 and xbox 360, but on this website we are all mature not to fight about a eltronic system right?

eletronic*
sxe_beast 11
^Exactly. She can hang out with him and knit while he plays Call of Duty. She can console him when gets his pwnt :D
je_suis_fml 11
or he can get his ass off the game and do something they both enjoy.
a_nutritionist 10
@132 hes allowed to do something only he enjoys every now and then...marriage doesnt mean sacrificing anything and everything your significant other doesnt enjoy. shes the one complaining, so she needs to go join him. if there was any indication that he does this all the time youd have a point, there isnt.

And what? You would have preferred that he lies to you just to tell you something you want to hear? You asked a silly question and got an honest answer. Deal with it!
