Today, I asked my boyfriend advice on apartment hunting - as we were planning to move in with each other. He told me that there is no way he can afford to move out of his parents' house anytime soon. He can, however, afford a collection of belt-fed automatic nerf guns. FML

Allo Trollsters. This is the silly girl who posted the FML. A few disclaimers: 1) Rent is cheaper here than you are thinking. My last place here ran under $500, utilities included. If we split the cost, we aren't looking at massive expenses. 2) He is 25 years old, he lives at his parents' for free, he has a job AND THEY GIVE HIM AN ALLOWANCE. Oh, yeah, and they pay his bills for him. 3) Yes, he acquired all the nerf guns at once, within the past week. 4) I don't have a problem with his hobby. Boys will be boys, and I kinda have a thing for nerds. I do, however, have a problem with the fact that he has lied to me for the past 6 months about his future aspirations... Because I have been busting ass, nose-to-the-grindstone, working towards getting my debts paid off so we could get this place together. Aaaaand, apparently toys are more important.

I'm not a doctor or anything, but im pretty sure that a few nerf guns are less expensive than maintaining an appt.

$40 for nerf guns. $200-$600 for rent.... yes I can see how this makes sense. besides the belt fed nerf guns kick ass

Yeah the OP could be overreacting, but hopefully the boyfriend is at least paying some kind of board to live at home. If my son had plenty of disposable income (and presumably working full-time) I wouldn't be too keen on having him living at home for free.

well I am pretty sure some nerf guns are a lot cheaper than moving out

YDI for thinking your better then a nerf gun, just who the he'll do you think you are? I mean come on it's a nerf gun with like 20 bullets. So I got a question when you guys have sex has he ever said pwnt afterwards? Cause that's a hint.

I really do believe this is the first time I've ever seen Hell spelled with an apostrophe. Kudos.

Seriously, making fun of her boyfriend's age because he has a hobby you don't agree with? How shallow.

#22 and she probably has a shoe collection. So what?

1. Money for a nerf gun is nowhere near as much as monthly rent. 2. I'm sure this isn't the first time you thought he was being childish but you're still with him, so YDI.

Uhm, yeah...this. Nerf guns are ******* cheap, and paying rent with someone gets really pricey. The time he should move out is when he can afford the little things like Nerf guns in his case, AND the rent money. You shouldn't give him an ultimatum...that's just being bitchy.

sounds like he'd rather go human hunting than apartment hunting. nerf wars can get pretty epic.
