Miscellaneous: Today, my boyfriend called me and I told him about the AnimeCon...

By Anonymous - 22/06/2009 04:35 - United States

Today, my boyfriend called me and I told him about the AnimeCon I'm attending, and that I wanted to go as Sailor Mars, he told me he had no idea what that was. After being mad for about ten minutes, I realized that I wanted to break up with him over not knowing what Sailor Moon was. FML

Today, at a Con, I saw a girl in an impressive cosplay of a character from one of my favorite video games. I complimented her on her costume and got a picture with her. Later, my girlfriend called me a cheating creep and broke up with me. FML

Grow up

Today, my boyfriend broke up with me, because apparently I need to "grow up". He's the one who excessively plays Call of Duty and still has Pokémon and Bionicles in his room. FML

Today, my boyfriend dumped me for knowing more about Batman than he does. He's only seen some of the movies, and as a kid my dad owned a comic book store. He still doesn't see why I should know more, because I'm a girl, and "girls aren't supposed to know about superheroes." FML

Today, I went to a wedding with my boyfriend. He became moonstruck with one my friends and said she looked sexy in her dress. The whole night, I was nonexistent to him. He’s now confused as to why I’m giving him the silent treatment. He literally has no clue. FML

Today, I went to go meet my boyfriend at a restaurant to tell him it just wasn't working out. Before I could do so, he proposed. I had to tell him no, so he started to cry and ran out. Everyone looked at me like some kind of monster. FML

Today, I broke up with my boyfriend. After three long weeks of him ignoring me and cancelling out on time we were supposed to spend with each other. He looked at me with the most confused look on his face. Then he says ''Are you serious? I was planning the perfect day to ask you to marry me'' FML

Harry Potter and the Tree of Nothing

Today, my boyfriend and I had the worst fight of our relationship, and I’m not sure we’re going to make it. Why? Because out of all his hobbies and interests that I’ve happily joined in on, I said I had no interest in Harry Potter. FML

Treat yourself

Today, I told my husband we could have a "him" day, visit the comic book and games stores, then watch anime. He refused to believe I was genuine, and asked what bad thing I did that I was trying to make up for. We ended up not doing any of it because he thinks I can’t be nice to him without a motive. FML

How old are you? Ten? You don't break up with someone for that kind of reason.

I love Sailormoon and all, but there's a difference between being a big fan and an overly obsessive fangirl. And it's perfectly reasonable that he doesn't know what Sailormoon is considering he wasn't part of the target audience. My boyfriend only knows about the dub, but I'm impressed he knows that much. So yeah, chill.

English dub Sailor Moon = not that cool. Japanese Sailor Moon = awesome. The dub was targeted towards 5 year old american girls. The Japanese version is targeted towards teens.

Technically the Japanese version was targeted towards little girls as well (look at all the girly merchandise!), but it definitely appeals to a broader audience than the English dub did. I managed to get a guy friend to watch the original anime and he enjoyed it a lot more.

ee! I am an anime fan and a cosplayer. I understand where you are coming from. You should try help him understand anime, It can be one of those things which you hate before you understand. He might be able to even go to the con with you. good luck.

wow, you're not a douche at all. Oh, and by the way: Hentai (****) makes up about 10% or less of all of anime.

You're going to AnimeCon and you are a girl. Unless you are a monster, you will be swarmed by nerdy virgins (and you can fix that). Either your current boyfriend needs to make a little effort to become familiar with Sailor Moon, or you ought to find a new one at the show.

I feel you there. I've gone (and am going this year to) DragonCon, and there is a considerable minority of girls in costumes there that are actually quite cute, and some that are downright smoking hot. The expressions on some of the nerdy guys' faces while looking at them are priceless. I'm going as Aeris this year! ^.^ And yeah, her bf probably should be a little more aware of her interests, but it's no reason for her to get angry. YDI.

You know, I don't think he does. Maybe they'd just started dating and he didn't know that she likes to go conventions? It's fine for people in (mature) relationships to have different interests.
