Today, while I was driving my 27 year old boyfriend 8 hours to a Pokémon event, he realized he didn't bring his DS with him. He cried about it. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I found out my boyfriend can name each and every Pokémon, but can't remember my birthday. FML
Today, my boyfriend convinced me to take him 30 minutes away to meet his friends so he could go fishing, adding that they wouldn't be gone all night. I dropped him off 13 hours ago, and he doesn't have a phone. FML
Today, my 15-year-old son was waiting in the car for me after driving around to build up hours for his permit. He then decided it was a good idea to quickly drive over to catch a Pokemon nearby. He didn't count on getting pulled over for texting and driving while underage without an adult though. FML
Today, I found out my boyfriend cheated on me. We're in the middle of nowhere and have a 4-hour drive home. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I were driving back to college. He broke up with me 2 hours into the 3 hour drive. I had to sit in the car with him for the last hour. 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, my boyfriend came over and dropped off my phone, which I'd left at his place the night before. He immediately left in a sulk. As I looked through my texts, I discovered he was only so moody because I hadn't answered any of his calls or messages. I'm dating an idiot. FML
Today, my fiancé forgot his wallet. He realized this once we were 5 hours away from home, before checking into a hotel, that had reservations under his name. FML
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
Today, my family had to travel for a funeral. On the drive down, I saw that my son had brought his Switch. I always suspected he didn't care about anything but himself, but this hurts worse than ever confirming that he prizes his stupid video games over us and our collective grief. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Dude! Your BF rocks! Everybody needs to be in touch with their inner kid. Espeon and Umbreon Duo forever! I'm still trying to go up against the Elite Four with an Eevee, Jolteon, Flareon, Vaporeon, Umbreon and Espeon team. It's hard!

The guy is a pussy. I never call anyone a pussy, but this guy totally is. I'm 27 myself, and I can't even conceive the idea of crying over a lost DS, a Pokemon event, or anything short of death, destruction and broken hearts. I didn't even care about Pokemon when it first came out. The man is dead weight, and he will hold back you and your entire life unless you leave him behind. You have to tell him that, make him understand that this is one change he has to make, or he'll never amount to anything ever!

Petty semantics. It's still nothing to cry about.

You cry over death and destruction, but not the fact that you forgot something that your whole trip was based on?

"I can't even conceive the idea of crying over a lost DS, a Pokemon event, or anything short of death, destruction and broken hearts. I didn't even care about Pokemon when it first came out." holes in your argument: 1. so you WILL cry for death, destruction and broken hearts. 2. considering how manly you project yourself to be, broken hearts seems pretty gay to me. 3a. not having the SOLE equipment for the purpose of the event would result in a broken heart. 3b. ergo, YOU would cry in the same situation; thereby making you a pussy as well. 4. if you didn't care about your pokemon, you had a shitty childhood. in case you're wondering, yu-gi-oh doesn't make you any manlier.
