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

Nerf guns cost like.... $20. $40-45 max for a really good one. Living in an apartment costs, oh, I dunno, 10-20 times that amount. Per month.

thanks for addressing all our concerns OP. still calling BS, and you're just trying to make yourself sound better. next time find a Warcraft guy like me... insanely nerdy and will ignore the he'll out of you! What else would yo expect from a guy who swings swords and casts spells?!

Heh. Actually, my last serious boyfriend a few years ago was a WoW junkie. Unfortunately, everything I've posted was the truth. Postscript: Hell, not he'll. Just sayin.

she said COLLECTION. More then one. posibly hundreds. therefore, he mightve had 1000$, but blew it on multiple nerf guns.

If he customizes them I'd say he has a nice hobby. But seriously, they're for kids. On the bright side - he's not collecting real guns. You could always just use a little "persuasion" to convince him there are better toys out there...

Expert, I had a bf JUST like that. We loved each other, were planning on getting married, everything. But I still drove him everywhere because he didn't have a car, paid for his stuff...he was very immature, and even though he was great emotional support he couldn't be anything more in a relationship that he claimed he wanted to be very serious about. PLEASE think of yourself and what you need...a man who would essentially choose a nerd gun collection over you doesn't sound like he's ready to be serious, so please think about whether or not your relationship should go any further.

Thanks. Alas, I pointed out the financial contradictions and cited his lies - and he broke it off. So it goes.
