Today, my boyfriend broke up with me over the phone. He said there was someone else, and that he has been in love with her for a while. Turns out, the new girl was his online video game character. I got dumped for a video game. FML

Today, my boyfriend and I broke up. He said it was because he wanted to 'do his own thing'. So gaming 24/7 like he has for the past two years of our relationship, then. FML

The guy broke up with her. Over the phone. For a fictional woman. Why would you want to "be serious" with a guy who does that?

# 49 you're an asshole. there is no way that she deserved this if its really true. considering most video-game obsessed guys these days i wouldn't doubt it. looks like he saved you a lot of trouble later on. you'll thank him one day, i'm sure.

lol at all the twilight comments. true..but i think the edward thing is about the book rather than the actor, which is i guess even more sad. but is it so wrong to wish that existed? lol i do remember that fml about the "my edward" thing though. hahaha

This happened to me, but he couldn't get the nerve to tell me it was over... he just started leaving rooms when I'd enter... It was incredibly awkward considering he lived on the same floor as me and we had to share a bathroom...
