Today, I texted my college boyfriend to tell him how terrible I felt about cheating. He replied saying he was so relieved because he had been cheating on me with a girl in his dorm. I was talking about my math exam. FML
I agree, your life sucks (167610) - you totally deserved it (17317)

Tell him "You son of a bitch. I was talking about my math exam. What the fuck??" and promptly dump him.
A relationship is nothing without trust.

well you should specify wut kind of cheating, if i got a text from my girl saying hey i feel bad about cheating i would think the same thing. But at least you found out! I hope you dumped his disrespectful ass
#6 - On 03/16/2009 at 5:04pm by Yinzernation87
Ouch! Get rid of him. Once a cheater always a cheater. You dont need that.

Sorry for you, although I don’t condone cheating on a test. If your boyfriend had a head on his shoulders, he would have kept his mouth shut and milked the moral high ground for a bit.
#10 - On 03/16/2009 at 5:10pm by Ole_Stinker
I understand texting someone about having cheated on a test... but seriously? Not only is your boyfriend a dirty cheater, but he's dumb for thinking its okay to *text* you about cheating on YOU. Something like that at least deserves a phone call.
Please dump him, and I hope you find someone smart and who respects you more than this jerk.
You need to specify what you were cheating on. If you said that to me, I'd assume you meant you had cheated on me and I would have dumped you right then and there. Think before you text, people. It's not that hard.
#14 - On 03/16/2009 at 5:12pm by Callyn
you should have said what kind of cheating ... but at least you know and can break it off instead of keep dating a cheater!
You must be really innocent, opening up to someone about cheating is rather superficial.
#19 - On 03/16/2009 at 5:21pm by Admin
Oh, le sigh, as usual people will focus on being moral compasses. Forget anyone who's giving you a hard time about cheating on an exam. Your boyfriend though? What a son of a bitch. And to think he would've gone on without telling you indefinitely...
Ugh. Dump his ass, seriously.
#20 - On 03/16/2009 at 5:28pm by anaphaseii
Maybe he only said he cheated beacuse he thought u did on him so he wanted to make you think that's what he did, I did that one time to one of my ex's when he said he cheated on me so I could hurt him right back lol
Wow what a butthole.
Dump. Him.
And stop cheating on exams. It's not good
At least you felt bad for that.
But yeah dump him. He's a jerk.
Wow, what a jerkface. With your ambiguity, you got him to admit to cheating though. So that's good, that you now know. And, yea, dump him. And study!
#24 - On 03/16/2009 at 5:36pm by _Elizabeth_
Well would you look at that? And they tell you not to cheat in school. You could have gone on to marry a cheater. Bah! Principals and teachers are the bastards I say.
@ 12 and 16: you are both morons - that is not what karma is - karma is the sum of a person's actions in this and previous states of existence, viewed as deciding their fate in future existences - keyword: FUTURE.
gah, i hate it when people misuse words and phrases.
#29 - On 03/16/2009 at 6:01pm by compasseagle89
I agree with #21. Been there, done that. So I guess you guys need to sit down and have a little chat. I mean he might have really cheated on you, or he might have been hurt that you would cheat on him.
Either way, who texts ambiguous texts like that? Did he know you planned on cheating on your exam? Do you cheat on exams all the time? Meh, I don't think you deserved to find out he was cheating, but I think you deserve texting classes. Lots of these FMLs could have been prevented if the person posting knew how to properly text.
#30 - On 03/16/2009 at 6:12pm by LittleMissMack
i'm also against cheating on exams, but seriously why are people saying that that's what you deserve for cheating on a math test? i agree with other people: it's good you found out, your bf was a jerk for not telling you and for needing a prompt to tell you the truth
#32 - On 03/16/2009 at 6:17pm by fmlisamazing
She shouldn't feel so bad about cheating on her Math exam and this is why. You get to college, and have to take this math class thinking it will be helpful towards the upper level classes in you major, then while your taking those upper level classes you realize.....I'm haven't been using any of those math equations/formulas since I took those math classes.
#33 - On 03/16/2009 at 6:28pm by SlickWilly440
If I was him I would've dumped you right then because the way you said it, it seems like you were cheating on him. You deserved it.
#29: Whoa you are sooo intelligent, but next time try not to copy and paste definitions directly off the internet, makes you look like a douche. Girl definitely had bad karma, past event- cheating on math test, future event-finds out her boyfriend is cheating on her. Epic fail.
#42 - On 03/16/2009 at 7:20pm by prostudent
This is why high school relationships rarely evolve into anything more... there is the term "high school sweetheatt" for a reason.
OH and texting ruins relationships. Words get muddled. When will the younger generation learn nothing replaces actual conversation. I hate when ppl txt me. And no i'm not so old that my generation doesn't text. To be honest they text more than ncessary. I dont want a text unless its a quick no response needed statement.
Cheer up. Dump him and realize you would probably have done so anyway when you finally got to college and realized a whole world of dating just opened up to you
#43 - On 03/16/2009 at 7:38pm by MonkeySpeaks
I disagree with the people who said she should've specified the type of cheating...obviously if she was cheating on her boyfriend she would tell him in person, no one does that via texting except HORRIBLE people so why would her bf ever assume thats what she meant?!
I bet he felt like such a douchbag, which he is!! Dump him immediately!
#45 - On 03/16/2009 at 7:53pm by olivejuice
#43:
She's in COLLEGE. She clearly says it in the beginning. Lots of people meet the people they're going to marry in college. And what's wrong with high school relationships? My boyfriend's parents have been dating since they were 15. Over 30 years later, they're still together.
Nice try, though.
Aw...that must have sucked...hope you ditched him. At least you got the truth out of him. Hope you work it out :(
#50 - On 03/16/2009 at 9:38pm by shykneejess
SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME GIRLFRIEND!!! FFFFFFFFFFF COLLEGE BOYFRIENDS!!!!!!
#52 - On 03/16/2009 at 10:02pm by coolcourt143
ouch that sucks. go ditch him and find another guy.
oh, and that's karma for you.
#55 - On 03/16/2009 at 11:03pm by beyatreese
cheating at a math test doesn't mean its karma to get cheated on, usually getting caught out or failing, dump his ass
Not so fast, #47. As righteous and correct as your CAPS try to be, she specifies that her boyfriend is in college. The only reason to do that is if she is still in high school. I gathered that she's still in high school and he's off at college, most likley why he's cheating in the first place. Long distance relationships don't last, especially those trying to survive that high school senior/freshmen in college period.
And FML poster, maybe if you didn't worry and text him over little things like cheating on your math test, he wouldn't be shagging someone else. Chances are if you were feeling terrible over that, you aren't giving it up in the bedroom.
i don't understand why people would think she deserves this. people are looking way too deep into some of these FMLs -_-
For those who think that she should have specified which "cheating" she had done, wasn't it supposed to be known that she had exam(s) at that time if they were in relationship?
lol at least we now know a way to get ur mate to tell the truth =)
always be optimistic
#67 - On 03/17/2009 at 11:23pm by Chaos_Faction
On the bright side, there's worse ways of finding that out.
You must not be that smart if you didn't already know, and the need to cheat in math only further proves this. So yeah, it was coming for you anyways.
#72 - On 03/19/2009 at 7:17pm by TheLeftNut
dump his ass nowww.... but at least you found out now instead of later on
#73 - On 03/20/2009 at 6:09pm by lifesfuckedup
dump that mother f***ker...cuz your way of talking just helped you learn that
#74 - On 03/23/2009 at 1:57pm by ryuuga_kun
Reminds me of the time I just flat out accused my girlfriend of cheating just so when she caved I could admit that I had been. Damn I manipulated that chick.
Really though, I had a pretty good idea that she had cheated, not concrete but almost.
Sucks to be you though, I would be so cut. You should probably shag his best friend.
#77 - On 03/30/2009 at 1:01pm by TheMacDougall
#47 - Well I guess since your boyfriend's parents did it, it must apply to everyone. #43 said rarely, not never.
#78 - On 04/07/2009 at 8:08pm by subarchetta
Think of it like this, if you didn't cheat on your math test, you would never (or been delayed in finding out) have found out that your boyfriend was cheating on you.
You just found a great way to find out if your bf is cheating on you. What an asshole.
#81 - On 04/18/2009 at 9:25pm by ShinTenshi
this is fake, because I'm imagining this conversation. If I was gong to tell someone I felt bad about cheating on a test I would mention the word test.
im sorry. but i'd still give him a second chance. he may be a cheating asshole but hes in college and far away. he was probably lonely. u should forgive him. Actually, i was wrong ignore my last comment... DUMP HIS ASS!!!!!!!!!! But keep the cheating line u used for the future, u'll be able to find out if ur other bf's are cheating!
#83 - On 04/21/2009 at 7:48pm by DanielleMazz
OH SHIT I DIDN"T SEE THAT COMING
no seriously i thought you were gonna end it but then you brought out the whoe math exam thing....
crazy
#87 - On 05/12/2009 at 9:40am by justreadin
Cheat in one area of your life and get cheated in another I suppose? It sucks to be cheated on but I have no sympathy for cheaters you deserve it, karma's a bitch, people need to start taking school more seriosly and honestly- cheating just shows terrible character
#93 - On 05/22/2009 at 11:43am by wrestler17
Oh yeah and number eleven what the boyfriend did was wrong, the cheating, but he thought that's what she was texting him about in the first place, so I do t really blame hi. For that and plus if she did really feel bad about it why would she do it by text in he first place, if you're goi g to look at it like that
#94 - On 05/22/2009 at 11:48am by wrestler17
that's what happens when you're a good citizen... lol jk
but honestly I never feel guilty about cheating on tests, especially since I do shitty anyway
but that sucks, I'm sorry to hear that. I'm assuming you *****PROCEEDED***** to break up with him? lol
#95 - On 05/30/2009 at 12:40am by bbobe900000
i feel lik hes goin to write a story on fml lik my girlfriend said she cheated so i said i cheated....she meant she cheated on her math test....now im all lonely:)
LOL...karma is a bitch huh?...jk that's terrible! But better now than later!
#99 - On 06/05/2009 at 3:31am by stavesacregt
aww im sorry :( but theres better guys in the world than him so look on the bright side :)
#100 - On 06/14/2009 at 2:43pm by ApolloandDixie
ok, when you tell a loved one you feel bad about cheating, regardless if ur in school still, most will think it has to do with cheating on them. if u need to confide in someone, call up a girlfriend and gab to her.
#102 - On 06/20/2009 at 4:00am by blackbear6193
Karma's a bitch, ain't it? At least you know you can dump him.
#103 - On 06/28/2009 at 3:47am by der_Jabberwhock
FHL for not making sure what you were talking about first...get yourself a smarter boyfriend.
#107 - On 08/20/2009 at 9:46am by protooler31
OMG that really suckss man.. yu can do betterr than.. hess an ass
#108 - On 09/19/2009 at 1:15am by iSulyyRkewl
Well atleast you didn't say I felt terrible about cheating ON MY MATH TEST or else he wouldn't have never mentioned about the other kind of cheating, It would have been always kept a secret.
When it comes 2 math tests...sometimes...cheating is necessary lol. so i feel u on that. and u felt bad about it so its otay!
u were looking for support from ur bf and u didnt get it. im sorry for that.
it might b that his acid reflex told him to just say that he did 2. idk
anyway...u know the truth
tlk to him...dont just go by what he said...see where it takes u
good luck
