Love: Today, my husband was 45 minutes late to our wedding reception....

Today, my husband was 45 minutes late to our wedding reception. Later, when I asked him why, he said, "I was playing Legend of Zelda and had to finish my quest." He thinks this is an eligible excuse. FML

Today, I went into labor and got my husband drive me to the hospital. Instead of staying by my side, he rushed back home for a World of Warcraft raid. His excuse? His friends were counting on him and they'd be pissed if he let them down. FML

Today, I felt frisky, so I did my hair and put on make-up and some lingerie. I walked into the living room, where my husband was playing a video game. He glanced up, said, "Oh, for fuck's sake." and made me wait nearly 15 minutes for him to reach a save-game point. FML

Hello?

Today, after a 16-hour work day, I came home to my husband. I talked to him for about 10 minutes, then realized that he wasn't answering me but had his headset on and was talking on Xbox live. Not even playing a game, just talking. FML

Today, my fiancé nervously sat me down for a "serious chat". The chat wound up with him asking if we could postpone our wedding, because his World of Warcraft guild had a raid scheduled for the same day. FML

Today, on our honeymoon, I found out my husband brought his work laptop with him. We were supposed to go scuba diving but he skipped it for virtual meetings, then sat on his laptop until 2 a.m. He then had the nerve to be confused about why I’m mad at him and just want to go home. FML

Today, my boyfriend forgot to pick our son up from daycare. His excuse? Fighting in a battle in World of Warcraft was far more important and he had to stay absolutely focused. Our son had to wait for two hours. FML

Today, my husband asked me to meet him at 6 for our date night, but I ended up being 45 minutes late. Turns out he predicted my lateness and had booked the restaurant for 7, not 6. He knows me so well, but sometimes I hate the smug smarmy bellend. FML

Today, as my wife loves games, she set me a series of clues leading to our date night, where she's waiting for me. WHY? She knows how bad a problem solver I am. By the time she realised I was going to be hopelessly late, and answered my 50 missed calls, I’d only solved the first 2 clues out of 18 total. FML

Today, I spent hours crafting a tiara to look like the princess from my boyfriend's favourite game series, Zelda. I sent him a picture of me wearing it, and got the reply: "Sure, that's nice, but you'd be better as Majora." FML

Well, he certainly found the Triforce of Courage. The Triforce of Wisdom, on the other hand, not so much.

He can't put his game down, You can't spell. Couldn't you have, at least, waited until graduation to jump into something you're clearly not ready for? And that is a eligible question.

OP was probably angry and upset and types quickly, no need to blame them

If you’re quick about it, you don’t have to go through the hassle of divorce. Annulment is a fast, easy option.

What I don't get is how you could know someone long enough to get married and yet not know that the game fixation is this big. YDI.

I'm very conflicted on if he's a keeper or not. Dude has some good priorities. Just maybe the top few aren't in order.

Maybe he was so nervous about the wedding that playing the videogame was his way to cope with the situation. While this isn't an excuse, don't jump to conclusions and talk with him, he might be embarassed or feeling guilty

Hey, if it was Eventide Island, yeah, I could understand... you have to go back to the very beginning. But the Switch has a sleep mode, so it's still a shitty excuse.
