Been there done that. Tried to get into it enjoyed for a bit didn't understand the obsession. Lets just say it was one of many reasons I used a past tense verb for my opening line.

hey, my boyfriend and all of his friends play MTG, i think he spends a little too much time and money on it, but its still a really fun game, you should pick it up, its fun!

Magic is awesome!!

Why is "magic" in quotations? He's not saying that the convention itself is magical. The name of the game is Magic: The Gathering. My boyfriend plays it too and it's actually pretty interesting. Why don't you try it out before you diss it?

That's no too bad Magic is pretty awesome! Besides that's nothing compared to my man, he actually opened a MTG shop. Cardboard Hoard in FL. Check them out! They're awesome!

I like that game and one of my friends plays it every Saterday night with his friends at a comic book store.

I wish I could say something nice, but you just insulted the game that was the reason my husband and I met. (the real story was I beat him 2-1 in a round at a stat tournament, but he claims he let me win) Really, you're just being a bitch about a hobby that's a lot of fun. Even if you don't get it, he's having fun, meeting people, and (possibly-depending how good he is) making money off of it. Accept it or let him find someone who isn't judgey. *note* disregard this comment if he's seriously wasting money: he's horrid, never wins, can't pay rent, forgets hygiene. . .ect.

I think everyone missed the point of the FML. Personally I see it as an FML because he spends ALL of his money on this hobby. It is fine to have a hobby and to even take up a decent amount of time doing it. The problem is when it becomes the ONLY thing you do and spend your money on. I sympathize though, my BF used to play it a lot before we started dating. His priorities have changed now with school and being with me so he uses what little money he gets on us. He still plays just doesn't go crazy about it. Unless OP's BF is a pro player making money off of MTG then she has every right to be somewhat upset with his obviously addictive hobby. Perhaps she is the bitch everyone is painting her to be on this post but we can't know without a reply from the OP herself.

It's his money. He can do what he wants with it. He could be doing a LOT worse with it.

All hobbies are expensive and it is his money.
