Today, it was my 2 year anniversary with my boyfriend. As we were about to exchange gifts, he got a call and said he had to go home immediately. What was the emergency? His guild leader couldn't find another healer to finish a raid and promised my boyfriend gear if he would step up. FML

Fake I'm pretty sure if he were to be playing a game it would be WoW and WoW has no raids at the moment. Other then 1 Heal easy last exp content

I love WoW (huge nerd). I used to play with my ex all the time, and now that we're broken up I still do.. I understand the crazy addiction video games can create, more than I want to, but your boyfriend is an ass. 2 year anniversary?! Come on, video games are awesome but that's one night! One night he should want to spend with you and not on a comp/console.

When did this super annoying trend of girls calling themselves "nerds" or "gamer girls" just because they play video games even start?

When everyone thought we didn't exist and that the only proof was "**** or gtfo". I don't care as much now but even at school if I'm talking about games, it's with guys. As a girl who plays video games, especially in a small town, it's hard to find any females who enjoy the same thing and are local, therefore it can feel a bit like you're seperate from other women I suppose. It's just a thing, guys use it sometimes referring to girls too. My explanation might be a bit off but hey, when did you take it upon yourself to decide what we call ourselves.

Being a girl who also enjoys video games myself, I don't care what you call yourselves. You can call yourself BitchtitsMcgee for all I care, I just said it was annoying and stupid. Labels and whatnot etc. etc.

One of the definitions of nerd, is being obsessive towards a non social activity. Someone who tries to excel in this specific subject. I am willing to admit that is how I can get towards certain video games, so calling myself a nerd towards WoW seems to be an accurate description of my mindset. Not a "stupid" label.

Hah! You're joking right? Playing MMO's ( ESPECIALLY one like WoW ) is anything BUT a non social activity. But I'm sooo certain that that's the definition that's gone through your mind every time you've called yourself a "nerd", right? In today's society it's used as a hollow title most gamers ( mostly girls, go figure! ) like to call themselves because it makes them feel quirky or different, and that's how you use it, whether you want to admit to it or not. Good day.

The only way this FML makes any sense is if OP is a hand. Or a tissue box.

Completely valid reason to leave. That gear could've taken him months to get on his own.

Hey, decent heals are tough to come by.

I'm sorry OP :( Knowing how my boyfriend is, he would probably ask me to come along if it was something like that on a "monthaversary" as we're in now, but if it was a one year or a two year, he probably wouldn't have left. But don't be too harsh on him, unless you had to deal with this a lot of times before. Then just have a serious talk about how that's not ok. Talk, not breakup because he's a douche like I see on here all the time.

That's a pretty asshole move by your boyfriend, but I get a feeling my boyfriend and him would get along! The only difference is that I'm a part of the same hardcore raidteam. Has done wonders for our relationship... Not saying you should accept this on your anniversary, but maybe give it a go?
