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.

...Age has nothing to do with having fun. My husband and I have 8 laser tag guns and I don't even know how many nerf guns. We're both adults, have 2 kids, maintain a house and 2 cars, work full time, and still meet up with friends to run around like kids. Jeez, you guys act like once you're an "adult," you have to sit in an armchair, read Shakespeare, and sip single malt while making polite comments about the weather.

belt-fed nerf guns are a childhood love of his life, like every other boy. I'd way rather have a collection of nerf guns than some aging weathered hole.

Buying some nerf guns is a LOT more affordable than an apartment...

The great thing about being an adult, is you get to indulge yourself. If you were not allowed to play video games as a kid, you can buy your own console and big tv. Go on skiing trips where before your parents refused cause they hate snow, go run around in the woods to play paintball (or nerf guns).

look. I'm pretty sure the OP wasn't saying that he could have paid rent instead of buying a nerf gun. I'm sure she meant that he'd rather go out and buy toys than saving up to move out of his parents' house. I'd be upset too.
