Gamers and Love: Today, my wife made a system where I earn gaming time by either...

By Somerandomguy64 - 10/12/2013 18:04 - United States - Pleasantville

Today, my wife made a system where I earn gaming time by either giving her money or doing her favors. Now whenever I use my phone, she accuses me of "secretly playing Xbox games" and gets pissed at me. I'm 28 years-old. FML

Same thing different taste

Irony level: High

Today, my wife refuses to let me play my Xbox, except at the weekends, because it’s "a childish waste of time" and "we need to spend more time together", yet when we’re together she has no problem spending hours on games on her phone. No, she does not see the irony in this either. FML

Modern bonding

By Anonymous - 01/06/2022 22:00

Today, my wife is mad at me because she claims I don’t spend any time bonding with her son. It’s as though she refuses to understand that just because we are in different rooms, on separate PlayStations, doesn’t mean we’re not playing the same game, and talking through headphones for hours at a time.

Today, I spent some of my pay on a birthday gift for my wife. She found out about the money going missing from our account, and now she thinks I'm having an affair. I work 24/7 and barely have time to see my friends, let alone have an affair. FML

Today, my wife bitched me out 3 times in a row, for things that were not even my fault: for turning my Xbox on, even though I only nudged the button accidentally with my toe; opening a beer when it was actually a Pepsi for our son, and walking loudly when I "know she has a headache," which I didn’t.

Today, I found out that my 43 year-old wife has been having a cyber relationship with a 14 year-old kid on Halo. FML

Today, I was savagely beating my wife on Call of Duty, since she demanded that I play normally and not hold back. 15 minutes later, she was raging at me, calling me a bastard and saying she wished we'd never married. FML

Shady dealings

By CaptBlood - 04/05/2021 14:01

Today, my wife says she's not hiding money from me but I checked our joint bank account, which I no longer use, and find she's been transferring money in-and-out of 3 accounts, while taking money from me and getting payday loans to cover it. FML

Anger management

By Sure, Mom - 15/03/2024 06:00 - United States

Today, my mom told me that I needed to manage my spending better. This is the same woman who will log onto Candy Crush Saga, play a level and not come remotely close to beating it, and then blow $20+ on it to complete it. She got just a tad angry when I pointed out this hypocrisy. FML

They targeted gamers

Today, my girlfriend once again insisted that she didn't have a problem with my gaming. Considering that every day I find my PC desk covered in junk, and all my consoles disconnected, somehow I don't think she's telling the truth. FML

YDI completely, if you let yourself get whipped like that. You are an adult. If your wife gets away with this, more will come. You don't freaking belong to her. Speaking as a person still head-over-heels in love after 2 years of marriage, you should have a very serious and not friendly talk. Express that in absolutely no terms is that ok, and make her acknowledge it. If she won't, then I'll join the list of people saying divorce her. Sounds extreme, but its not just about gaming, its about living your life subservient to a person, who will ask for more veeeery soon. Its not impossible to find an actually nice woman who will really love you. Don't settle for this crap out of fear.

Your relationship is toxic. She entered that marriage knowing fully well who she was marrying. Clearly, she didn't want to marry you; she just wanted to get married.

Did you do something to make her think like that?

I'm guessing many wives are making charts now because they either (A) read the fml about the sex chart or (B) heard about that particular fml....now trending on twitter....point charts for husbands. Jk, I hope it's not a trend, if men did that to their wives/girlfriends...I'm betting we'd see about 1000 fmls daily &/or rants on Facebook.
