Today, I found out the guy I've been dating is heavily into a mystical card game and spends all of his money going to "Magic" card conventions across the country. FML

So? This isn't a FML. This is you not being accepting of other people's hobbies.

you dumb bitch, so what if he's a tcg nerd, he could be out snorting cocaine and ******* prostitutes. deal with what you got or get out of your relationship, don't turn to the Internet to make you feel better about yourself. I agree, your life sucks, because your a materialistic self centered insecure bitch.

...I don't get why you have all these FMLs along the lines of 'my boyfriend's a geek and does this FML even though I (a) have a significant other at all and (b) clearly the problems with our relationship do not lie in infidelity, domestic abuse, or any real problem, else I would be mentioning that'. Unless he's consistently throwing you over for the game, in which case either talk to him about it or move on. But still, 'my boyfriend plays Magic FML' comes off as whiny and somewhat shallow -- either expand on why this is such an issue, or don't bitch about it. I'd kill for a geeky boyfriend. :/

Mystical game is mystical. (seriously OP, you hadn't heard about it before?)

Actually, OP.. MTG recquires an enormous amount of intelligence, so I would hold on to him if I were you. P.S. That's pathetic that you look down on your boyfriend for having a hobby, I like comic books and my girlfriend actually picked some out for me.

Have you ever actually played?? I'm guessing not. FHL for having someone who only thinks of herself and does not try to understand his hobby before she goes on her "Woe is me, my bf plays magic and it costs money" trip. I'm sure your bf indulges your weird hobbies, like your extreme shopping habit, your excessive need to spend money and your need to play with barbies to feel like you have someone who understands you. None of those may be your actual hobbies, I just expect that you play with barbies because of how childish you seem, Just like you expect Magic to be some horrible expense you have to deal with. It may not be fair of me but you are not being fair to him by not understanding his hobby. By the way Magic is pretty awesome and some people win money off of it.

"I'm sure your boyfriend indulges in your weird hobbies..." Do you have any idea how stupid it is to make an assumption like that? How do you know OP even has "weird" hobbies. You're making these huge assumptions with no basis. You dislike OP based on a short FML and now you're pulling all of these assumptions about her relationship right out of your ass. It's also possible that her boyfriend is a complete jerk. Maybe he DOES spend ALL of his money on Magic: The Gathering, which leaves his girlfriend to pay all the restaurant bills/electricity bills/etc. Did you ever consider that possibility? No, you didn't, because you are a biased idiot. You can't make those kinds of assumptions without any logical basis. Just because the boyfriend plays Magic: The Gathering doesn't mean that he's a nice guy or a stable guy or even a financially reliable guy. Grow up.

I would encourage him to get better at this game... I'm pretty sure those "conventions" you speak of have 6-figure prize budgets.
