Grow up

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 boyfriend and I broke up. He said it was because he wanted to 'do his own thing'. So gaming 24/7 like he has for the past two years of our relationship, then. FML

Today, my boyfriend broke up with me because I don’t have a life outside of him. I don’t have any friends other than him, nor do I have any hobbies or interests; he’s the centre of my world. Apparently this makes me too available, needy, and codependent. FML

Dude, your boyfriend broke up with you and you posted a whiney FML about it? Who -really- needs to grow up?

Yep, you definately need to grow up. There's nothing wrong with playing video games and having 'collectables' (aka Toys) as long as they don't take over your life. Your childish reaction to this breakup shows me that you need to grow up regardless if he does or not.

You may have posted this and expected people to come side with you, but there's nothing wrong with Call of Duty (or any games) or hobbies and collections for that matter unless they interefere with the more important aspects of life such as work and school. His interests in those things is similar to your interests in beauty, manicures, pedicures, shopping, etc... Either way, he takes pleasure in them because it releases him from reality or takes stress off. Lots of adult men (me included) still have the small child in them, except mine is sleeping with a stuffed ani... erm... nevermind.
