Today, I decided I was going to dump my needy girlfriend. I was about to break the news when she stopped me. She showed me her new tattoo she had gotten. Our names, surrounded by a love heart spread across her back. She reckons I should get a matching one. FML

well yeah he shouldn't be harsh but he didn't ask her to get a tattoo. thats just straight up creepy. he needs to break up with her.

#24 - On 07/27/2009 at 10:36am by picky_and_bitter

YDI for being a stutter.

Even if she is kind of needy, you shouldn't dump her! Not after an event like that... I personally would never dump my bf after an event like that!

#91 - On 07/27/2009 at 1:38pm by Vorock

So even if he was an awful SOB who beat you every night, you wouldn't dump him because he went out and got a tattoo of your guys' names?

#102 - On 07/27/2009 at 1:54pm by Entheatus

Sorry #91, but that's NOT the answer he needed. If he's going to break up with her, that's that. He shouldn't be condemned to stay with someone he doesn't love just because SHE jumped the gun.

#106 - On 07/27/2009 at 2:02pm by Hich17

no, he really needs to dump her. getting a tattoo like that is (a)stupid, and (b)further evidence of how psycho she is. it's her own fault for getting it, he shouldn't stay in a relationship that makes him unhappy just because she made a bad decision.

Yah....she obviously really likes you. Take that into consideration before breaking her heart. ]:

Wow, your never gonna get a girlfriend are you.

#145 - On 07/27/2009 at 4:41pm by leedsrhinos

If you don't dump them after a crazy stunt like that, WHEN???

#150 - On 07/27/2009 at 5:17pm by Broc

I disagree. CRUSH HER!!!!!

#163 - On 07/27/2009 at 6:11pm by oldskoolman85

I agree 100%. My ex was like I'm getting a tat with your name on it, I dumped his ass straight away.

#171 - On 07/27/2009 at 9:06pm by rivethead

I'm sorry for pressing YDI, but twas because even if I feel sorry for you, I feel even more sorry for her. Poor thing. It's like #1 says.. she really loves you.

#184 - On 07/27/2009 at 11:34pm by miiiiw

Uh, no. That's not love. That's an unhealthy psychotic obsession. She should go see a therapist.

#203 - On 07/28/2009 at 9:24am by Zapurdead

i don't think you should brek it off or stay with her. turn into the worst boyfriend you can be overnight(minus any kind of assault, that's not cool) but just be that chauvanistic, mean jerk of a guy, but not in the way chicks like. constantly tell her to cook you something, boss her around, and always tell her that you're the man and that means that you make the descisions. hopefully, that'll be enough to make her break it off with you. then just go back to being the guy you are now, and find a chick to date who isnt a crazy person.

#215 - On 07/29/2009 at 10:31am by _THE_MASTER_

instead of breaking up with her for being needy he could just ask her to give him some space.

#238 - On 03/10/2010 at 11:34pm by ipodishere91

Wow... name tattoos are horrible. Guess it shows she really loves you tho!

#2 - On 07/27/2009 at 10:02am by xxmollyxx

It shows she really loves him? I think it mostly shows how needy she is. I like how the story illustrates the OP's reason to dump her.
I guess she learned a valuable lesson. Name tattoos are incredibly stupid.

#70 - On 07/27/2009 at 12:48pm by crazy_cat_lady24

Yeah, that's what we call 'needy.' Drop it like it's hot, dude.

#78 - On 07/27/2009 at 1:09pm by regalarius

Yeah thats not love thats obsession and psychosis. I think name tattoos are pretty silly to begin with, but to get one without talking with your partner is just crazy.

OP, dont let this effect your decision, its not your fault she did this so just wash your hands clean of this one.

Also FHerLife, shes crazy and has a bad tattoo to prove it!

#99 - On 07/27/2009 at 1:49pm by SOMAgirl

Lets just hope his name is "Mat". Then you might be able to sneak away with a "I love Mom" cover up.

#130 - On 07/27/2009 at 3:43pm by JustCallMeCloud

the chick is stupid and a pyscho for getting a name tattoo. think of it this way.

today i got a tattoo of my and my boyfriend's name on it because i thought it would help are relationship that seemed to be weakening. he broke up with me before i could show him.

thats a total YDI in my eyes. i feel bad for the dude, the chick is a nut.

#182 - On 07/27/2009 at 11:30pm by trulyinsane

Tattoos are NOT silly to begin with, douche. Your face is silly.

#200 - On 07/28/2009 at 5:40am by MimiKnox

Pyscho Bitch

#3 - On 07/27/2009 at 10:02am by L0veh8te

agreed.

#30 - On 07/27/2009 at 10:48am by thx1138

Definitely. Even if they had been married for 20 years, this would be a stupid decision. A whole back tattoo of a BOYFRIEND's name? Did you meet this girl in the psych ward after your breakdown? What a lunatic

#44 - On 07/27/2009 at 11:27am by ForestFire0

It's at times like these that I'm THRILLED that I'm gay, because there are some wacko girls out there, and fortunately I won't run the risk of ever dating any of them

#57 - On 07/27/2009 at 12:16pm by divineinstrument

On the other hand, some guys are insane too. Just hopefully not in the same way.

The insanity of my gender is the primary reason I date straight. Heh.

#61 - On 07/27/2009 at 12:31pm by Edeline

#57 You could still date a crazy guy. Sorry to break it to you.

#62 - On 07/27/2009 at 12:33pm by odai123

Yeah of course, but there are WAY less crazy guys than there are crazy girls so the odds favour me!

#67 - On 07/27/2009 at 12:36pm by divineinstrument

i think it would be appropriate to put in the song Roses by Outkast here.

#83 - On 07/27/2009 at 1:23pm by ravinderkaler

run and run fast lol as #3 said psycho bitch

#84 - On 07/27/2009 at 1:24pm by ph03n1x

No, guys just complain about crazy girls more so they get more coverage. I'm sure there's a nutjob just waiting to collect samples of your hair. :)

#87 - On 07/27/2009 at 1:27pm by zabeth

yeah statistically 98% of rape perpetrators are male and I'd say that's just a little more psycho than getting a name tattoo..

#90 - On 07/27/2009 at 1:33pm by spacer_

#90 - It's not because guys are more psycho that they rape more, it's because they tend to be physically stronger and more capable of such an attack.

#61 - That's awesome. You rule.

#108 - On 07/27/2009 at 2:05pm by Hich17

ya.. there are 'wacko' guys too

#110 - On 07/27/2009 at 2:07pm by lendmeyourteeth

what, you're saying people rape others just because they're strong enough? Bullshit, anyone who would do that definitely has a few screws loose.

#111 - On 07/27/2009 at 2:16pm by spacer_

90, did you ever realize that males find it easier to rape, since they're the ones that have to be excited, and not the victim? I mean, if you're a woman, and your victim isn't interested, it's going to be slightly tricky to do a quick rapage.

Also, face it, most men are not going to mind being 'raped' by a woman, as long as she's not too ugly or fat or skinny. Why do you think so many female teachers 'rape' their kids? The kid enjoys it and won't tell anyone; yet very few male teachers try it because they get ratted out immediately (not that I'm complaining; that's a good thing, male teachers should learn to keep away).

#115 - On 07/27/2009 at 2:24pm by humorizer

Lol yeah a girl trying to rape a guy would just not work. Plus why would she want to? She's not exactly going to orgasm.

#140 - On 07/27/2009 at 4:28pm by divineinstrument

115, you clearly don't understand much about rape if you think it's not possible for a female to rape a male. Rape is sex without consent. An erection is not consent, and can be achieved through the use of drugs (not just excitement). I should also point out that your example of female teachers raping their male students not being rape because they secretly want it is incorrect - young men can have erections through fear. Or, as I pointed out before, an erection IS NOT CONSENT.

Even if the male did not have an erection at all, there are ways in which a woman can rape a man. You would still consider it rape if a man raped a woman with an object, so why would you not think it the same if a woman were to use one?

It is your kind of ignorance that causes males to be so unwilling to report rape.

#146 - On 07/27/2009 at 4:52pm by Nyabinghi

#61, wat?

You don't date straight... because you're straight?

#151 - On 07/27/2009 at 5:20pm by Broc

Examples of teachers raping students is more often than not classified as statutory rape - as in, having sex with an underage person, even if they were consenting.

#152 - On 07/27/2009 at 5:22pm by Jordan_McDeere

also an erection can happen without the consent of the "higher brain" consent. A body can become excited through kissing and stuff without the PERSON himself wanting to have sex. An a rapist gets off on forcing someone to have sex. It's usually that they are a serial rapist and they just like the aggression and force used in rape, or they want to have sex with a person so badly that they force them to. So yea, women can rape a man just as much as a man can rape a woman. But often times, because the male rape victim has to have an erection to be raped, they believe that they wanted it and that it's their own fault. So they don't come forward and they don't get as much public sympathy as a woman would.

#206 - On 07/28/2009 at 10:27am by sleepreader

#111 - Nooo, I'm saying that men and women may both have the desire to rape in equal amount, but men have the greater ability.

Nyabig - you clearly think entirely too much about the subject.

#208 - On 07/28/2009 at 3:14pm by Hich17

And the female ones shouldn't?

#214 - On 07/29/2009 at 2:54am by hellomynamekeyes

Agreed. I have met a fair few nut job males. Probably more crazy boyfriends than girlfriends actually.

#229 - On 08/11/2009 at 8:32am by nutbiscuit

Wow FYL loll

#10 - On 07/27/2009 at 10:05am by ilikeboys

Agreed. You put yourself in the relationship, you should have known if she was a needy person. YDI.

#14 - On 07/27/2009 at 10:14am by lmmmr

Dude. The whole REASON to date someone is to get to know them better.

He dated her, and now he knows her really well. It's not his fault she turned out the way she did.

#12 - On 07/27/2009 at 10:07am by cjgiffor

Yea, /agree. Run while you can. Name tats are ok if they're your kids, but a name tat of a boyfriend? she is nuts.

#15 - On 07/27/2009 at 10:15am by aja175

You were right to want to dump her. Don't let the tat stop you, but be careful, you might find your car windows shattered, your favorite pet boiled, etc. I say dump her, then leave town for a while.

#16 - On 07/27/2009 at 10:18am by jonnymohio

Dump her quick before she gets pregnant and you're *really* fucked.

#18 - On 07/27/2009 at 10:21am by aback

Hmmm, why do i have a feeling you will be hearing her say "I'm your number one fan" very soon?

#19 - On 07/27/2009 at 10:22am by Slackness

Yikes. Now that is creepy. Don't stay with her if you don't want to... I suggest as a consolation get her a gift certificate for one of those tattoo laser removal centers. Maybe it's easier to remove while it's still fresh? LOL.

#20 - On 07/27/2009 at 10:25am by XScarlet

Bahahaha...sucks for you.

#23 - On 07/27/2009 at 10:35am by cabernet

Don't make the break up to harsh. She already sounds like a crazy bitch. Next thing you know, the bitch s gunna key your car and do everything to make you life suck.

#28 - On 07/27/2009 at 10:43am by JrWriter

Wow.

I'd say let her down gently, and hand her a brochure to a good psychiatric counselor as a consolation prize.

Then move. I'm seeing scenes from "Misery" in my head, and it doesn't look pretty.

uh you could still break up with her, it doesn't really matter, if she's got to go than she's got to go

#155 - On 07/27/2009 at 5:35pm by wroughtinfire

Wow, what a situation.... unfortunately for your girlfriend (soon to be ex) she jumped the gun & is now destined to be forever reminded of your time together. It's too bad she did this but if you are unhappy in the relationship, than I would suggest still speaking to her about how you are feeling.
I would let her down gently because obviously she feels very strongly for you,...perhaps you could suggest going with her to have the tattoo changed/altered??!
Good luck...

#48 - On 07/27/2009 at 11:37am by wordtoyourmother

No, it's okay. The tattoo's on her back, so she won't have to see it if she doesn't want to.

#117 - On 07/27/2009 at 2:32pm by swooshq

Wow you really weren't kidding when you said that she was really needy. She's a little bit crazy and naive in the sense that she thinks you guys will be together forever. I guess just don't be too harsh with the dumping. Name tattoos are the worst idea you can do, especially if it's the names of a boyfriend and girlfriend, since you never have a guarantee of how it will work out. OP, good luck with this situation. All I have to say is that the worst possible thing you can do is drag on the relationship. If you aren't happy, you aren't happy. But seriously FYL for dating this crazy bitch...

#50 - On 07/27/2009 at 11:43am by Fade_2_Black

in short,
its her fault
still break up
~akquward

#52 - On 07/27/2009 at 11:50am by thabeast

It's a stupid idea to get a tattoo of a boyfriend/girlfriend's name. Because if the two of you break up, then you have to live with a their name on you, making the break-up harder. She really didn't think this through and clearly is deeply in love with you, I hope you will be able to break up with her. If you aren't happy in the relationship then you need to break up with her. None of this is your fault so, although it will be harsh on her so do it gently.

#53 - On 07/27/2009 at 11:53am by Alexgoesfml

Yes, name tattoos are super dumb, especially of a boyfriend, no matter how much you love them. The OP should still break it off because it's not his fault she got a stupid tattoo. I hope she stays sane afterwards, because if she's so needy that she got that tattoo and you wanted to get rid of her then she might a) go to totally psycho, or b) become suicidal. Watch out for those.

Honestly though, I don't think she really loves him at all. She might THINK she does, but either she is so needy that she would have gotten anyone's name tattooed on her back to "show them how much she loves them" and prevent them from leaving without enormous guilt, and/or she's just plain creepy and obsessed. Obsessed with someone is nowhere CLOSE to real love.

#56 - On 07/27/2009 at 12:14pm by themixedt4pe

#56 - I agree. She's not in love - she's freaking crazy!

#58 - On 07/27/2009 at 12:26pm by redblueviolet

The tattoo should not prevent the break up, if anything it should give you more cause to get on with it and get outttt

#54 - On 07/27/2009 at 11:58am by eliz3

If you are ready to get out of that relationship – that feeling will not go away. So what if she was stupid enough to get a tattoo of your names – that’s her problem, not yours. Quit lying to her and be true to your feelings and move on.

#55 - On 07/27/2009 at 12:10pm by SarlaccBits

I hope she can cover it up..

#59 - On 07/27/2009 at 12:26pm by CrunkCupcake97

so..... when's the wedding? hahahaha you're screwed.

#60 - On 07/27/2009 at 12:31pm by littlemisslee

FHL actually for having an idiot boyfriend like yourself who dumps people because they are too "nerdy" seriously what the hell is that???? besides now shes the one stuck with YOUR name on HER back... YDI all the way on this one

#63 - On 07/27/2009 at 12:34pm by simplyapril

It says "needy" which is definitely a bad thing. Not nerdy, which is definitely not. ;)

#64 - On 07/27/2009 at 12:35pm by _chrissy_

Can you not fucking read? it said NEEDY. You fail. Next time l2read before you bitch at people.

#65 - On 07/27/2009 at 12:35pm by marz88

He says she's too NEEDY, not to NERDY. Learn to read.

OP: That sucks, your girlfriend sounds like a crazy bitch. FYL.

#66 - On 07/27/2009 at 12:35pm by kbs123456789

lol you're and idiot

#112 - On 07/27/2009 at 2:17pm by youidiot

it says "needy" you r-tard! fYl for being so bloody stupid.

#148 - On 07/27/2009 at 5:12pm by caffrinn

i reckon breaking up with her will be a fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuun day for you when it happens haha

#68 - On 07/27/2009 at 12:45pm by jt8787

It's beyond me why people still continue to get their lover's name tattooed on their bodies. Kids' names, parents' names, family members of any sort...sure...but the girl you're bangin'...I don't think so.

#69 - On 07/27/2009 at 12:48pm by _chrissy_

awww cmon u kno u cant break up with her after that! i mean, if u rlly want to, then do it slowly, maybe even tell her parents first so theyre prepared for it too. she obviously loves you, maybe give her a second chance?

#71 - On 07/27/2009 at 12:50pm by guitar_lovin

Oh noes! That's horrible XD F your life, indeed =P

#72 - On 07/27/2009 at 12:51pm by coderz

OWNED D: I guess you just have to postpone your break-up date.

#73 - On 07/27/2009 at 12:54pm by lillybeans

This isn't an FML for you. FHL and YDI.
Couldn't you have broken up with her sooner instead of faking your way through the relationship? Especially to the point where she has fallen in so much love with you she got a tattoo with your name?
Although she's pretty dumb for getting a relationship tattoo in the first place, you led her on immensely and that's why I'm saying YDI.

#74 - On 07/27/2009 at 12:56pm by cutebebe778

Unless she's nuts. In which case he wouldn't have had to lead her on, she could have assumed they would be together forever with basis in reality.

It's not really his fault if she did something stupid and impulsive.
I would be interested to know how long they've been going out

#79 - On 07/27/2009 at 1:10pm by drimpossible

True that. If she actually *is* an obsessive lunatic, this would be a slightly different story.

On the other hand, if they have been in a serious relationship for quite a while (hopefully at least a few years) and she decided to get a tattoo to profess her love for him, although the idea of spouse tattoo's are completely ridiculous to me, it would be his fault for making her believe he was 'the one'. OP seems like he's known for a while he wanted to break it off with her and didn't do anything about it..so if that's the case, he's the shallow one.

Still, the girl's a complete idiot...but there certainly are more factors we should know about their relationship before jumping to silly conclusions (ie. her being a total creeper/psychotic bitch)

#141 - On 07/27/2009 at 4:28pm by cutebebe778

okay, well how do YOU know that he wasn't just trying to make a decision, trying to figure out if this was the right thing? it would suck if he broke up with her, and then realized that he really did love her.

#149 - On 07/27/2009 at 5:15pm by caffrinn

She's the idiot, break up with her..

#75 - On 07/27/2009 at 12:56pm by type1

Just another reason to ditch her.

#76 - On 07/27/2009 at 1:01pm by intrepid00

The only kind of tattoo you should get that involves a persons name or face is either a family member (and by that I do not mean spouses) or someone who has died. That is it. There are no exceptions. How long were the op and his girlfriend together anyway for her to think this was a good idea? Well, it said she was needy so it could've been like two weeks (ROFL). But don't let this stop you. Does this suck for her? Majorly. But it's not like if you stay with her instead you'll get rid of that feeling of wanting to break up with her so there's no point in staying. It would only hurt both of you.

#77 - On 07/27/2009 at 1:03pm by Tarynkd

why not a spouse? I mean, unless you PLAN on divorcing, in which case you shouldn't have gotten married in the first place, your spouse is supposed to be with you for the rest of your life, unless there's some sort of abuse going on in the family. marriage was meant for two people to be together forever (through sickness and through health, through death do them part), whether they love each other or not. please stop acting like marriage isn't sacred. if someone wants to get a tatoo of their spouse, that's their right, because both them and their spouse made a vow to be with each other for the rest of their lives.

#80 - On 07/27/2009 at 1:11pm by damnstopmessinup

80-In a perfect world, people don't get divorced. Unfortunately, a big chunk of marriages end before death. That's reality. I don't think anyone goes into marriage thinking "hmm, I think this will just be a temporary arrangement." And wait, WHAT? "Whether they love eachother or not." Are you for real? Bahaha. Pretty sure the whole reason people get married is because they love eachother...and if that love goes away for whatever reason...why should they stay married? That is ridiculous. I'm not saying divorce is a good thing, but if the love is truly gone...why be miserable? That is insane.

#85 - On 07/27/2009 at 1:26pm by _chrissy_

Yeah, 50% of marriages end in divorce. (at least in the US). Marriage is supposed to be forever, but not all of them are. That is my point. People fall out of love all the time. It's like saying you're 16 and have been with a boy for 6 months and are absolutely sure that you will never break up and will get married and have babies because you "are in love". No, not really. Family is permanent. Death is permanent. That's why those types of tattoo's are okay. But marriage is not always permanent. It's SUPPOSED to be, but that is not a guarantee.

#92 - On 07/27/2009 at 1:39pm by Tarynkd

don't compare marriage to dating. they're NOT the same thing. with marriage, you make a committment to be with someone for better or for WORSE. the U.S. in particular has a horribly screwed up definition of marriage, hence why the divorce rate is so high. a marriage means that two people will work out their problems and live with each other. if you don't agree with that, then don't get married.

#127 - On 07/27/2009 at 3:32pm by damnstopmessinup

80 & 127- i think i get what you're saying. we live in an era where people expect to be able to be happy their whole lives, so when they get married and get disappointed, they think divorce is ok because they realize they'll be happy without that person. you're right to say that in an abusive relationship where nothing can be done about it, you need to divorce. and a couple needs to work out their problems, even if they fall out of love they still made that committment to each other. but this isn't a perfect world, in a perfect world people would still honor that committment... now people just need to do what will make them happy... and that's their right. sorry. i take it that you're married?

#133 - On 07/27/2009 at 3:53pm by silversar59

80 - It's stupid to even get a spouses name. No one PLANS to get divorced, but stuff does happen. You never know what the future holds. You can say you love each other and will always work things out, but you still never know what till happen in the future. Regardless of what you say in the present moment, the future cannot be predicted.

#139 - On 07/27/2009 at 4:19pm by zee209

What girl actually does that! Hope you continued through with your plan to dump her.

#81 - On 07/27/2009 at 1:14pm by Mbeth

Tramp stamp! Haha, well that sucks for her

#82 - On 07/27/2009 at 1:18pm by grafeety

alright just to get this straight ALL girls are crazy. but there are different kinds/levels of crazy, and this is one of those "dumb/creepy/needs to get out of fantasy world" kind of crazy. although he shouould stay friends with her so that he doesnt wake up in the morning with a smased up car and no valuables left in his house. i mean if they stay good friends he doesnt have to put up with her needyness and she wont go all axe murderer and become the next cearial killer (and im not talking bout cheerios!!!). we will prob have another fml that says "today i got a tattoo of me and my boyfriends names in a heart to declair my eternal love for him. and then he dumped me sayng i was too needy and that we could still be friends. fml"


oh and #57 Will you be my best friend???

#86 - On 07/27/2009 at 1:27pm by xxlillyxx

are you the girl in this FML? I mean, asking some random person online to be your best friend seems to be the sort of needy thing this girl did..

#198 - On 07/28/2009 at 4:54am by spacer_

I think that's even more of a reason to dump her (just try to be nice about it). Looks like she's more needy than you initially thought. Well, good luck!
:)

#88 - On 07/27/2009 at 1:29pm by x_Leopard_x

crazy woman and quite silly, better to breakup now for long term, just be careful she might be crazier after you break up with her

#89 - On 07/27/2009 at 1:32pm by laomaostu

well, I guess she has no choice but to only date people with your name from now on...

#93 - On 07/27/2009 at 1:40pm by sadistmonkey

Obvious attempt by her to make sure he stays.

#94 - On 07/27/2009 at 1:42pm by dirtylittlewolf

it looks like you're gonna have to tough it out for another month

#95 - On 07/27/2009 at 1:42pm by jewelzgalore

Well, you should do whatever you want because you dont wanna be stuck with someone you dont like for the rest of your life so but dont be harsh

#96 - On 07/27/2009 at 1:44pm by Will09

FHL for getting a shitty tattoo.

#98 - On 07/27/2009 at 1:48pm by waterynuggets

Pfft dump her anyway. She'll learn the hard way not to have boyfriends' names put permanently on her body. My mom got her boyfriend's name on her hip and they broke up a month later. I told her it was a bad idea, but she didn't listen. Hahaha.

#100 - On 07/27/2009 at 1:49pm by theodivine

I met this chick that after a week of knowing her had someone draw up a tattoo that said our names and bffs forever. Luckily I talked her out of it. Then later her husband found out she was cheating and asked for a divorce a few days later she got "property of ---" with his name in the blank. Name tattoos are creepy and kinda weird especially if you guys were just dating.

#101 - On 07/27/2009 at 1:50pm by pinkbullethippy

If I ever get into that situation where I know I'm about to be dumped again, I'm going to go get a removable tattoo like that just to fuck around with her.

#103 - On 07/27/2009 at 1:59pm by vt_mruhlin

Holy shit. At this point, just start being a subtly shittier boyfriend and get HER to dump YOU. If you dump her now she'll probably end up doing what others have mentioned: keying your car, stalking you, etc.

#104 - On 07/27/2009 at 1:59pm by bmach

what a dumb bitch.

#105 - On 07/27/2009 at 2:00pm by mister_moops

Get a tat that sais we are breaking up

#107 - On 07/27/2009 at 2:03pm by Imawhalerider

wow what a crazy bitch... don't feel bad about dumping her if you didn't encourage her to get the tattoo, it's not your fault she's insane.

#114 - On 07/27/2009 at 2:22pm by lacalina

DUMP THAT HORNY SLUT!!!!

#118 - On 07/27/2009 at 2:48pm by famas48

HAHAHAH Now that is a GOOD FML. Not like the crappy ones that have been showing up

#119 - On 07/27/2009 at 2:57pm by grow_up_loser

YDI for being alive

#120 - On 07/27/2009 at 2:57pm by NonImmigrant

Sounds like you BOTH have serious problems communicating. Neither of you should be acting (or planning to act) unilaterally on such things.

#121 - On 07/27/2009 at 3:01pm by BeeSkwaird

still shoulda did it

#123 - On 07/27/2009 at 3:09pm by tranekfny

So? It's not like you made her get the tattoo or anything. Tell her she's a needy, overbearing bitch and use the tattoo has proof. Then run!

#124 - On 07/27/2009 at 3:09pm by sickinlove13

break up with her. don't feel obligated to stay just because of a dumb tattoo. that's creepy as hell anyway. tattoo parlors usually convince people NOT to get other peoples names/faces tattooed on them.. I guess she REALLYY wanted it??? creep:/

#125 - On 07/27/2009 at 3:19pm by sireen

Go to the tattooist. Have him put FREE FROM {her name} on your back w/ magic markers!! Then have him draw a chain around it, w/ the chain links breaking apart.
Tell her she inspired you, just before you show it to her.
Go on vacation for a week, just in case. Be VERY careful when you go into your house when you get back.

#126 - On 07/27/2009 at 3:30pm by kukopia

Dump her. Her own stupidity is no reason for sympathy.

#128 - On 07/27/2009 at 3:37pm by rosiegrewup

What a dumbass. Any girl should be smart enough to know that you NEVER get a tattoo of anyones name on your body!! You shouldn't feel bad that she's a complete fucking idiot!!!

#129 - On 07/27/2009 at 3:41pm by whit05

Uhm. Girl is crazy. Run away.

#131 - On 07/27/2009 at 3:49pm by arms_akimbo

woooow.... What a wack job.

Run away. Run away now

#132 - On 07/27/2009 at 3:52pm by g00nie

oops

#134 - On 07/27/2009 at 3:57pm by Yojalata

After an event like that, I guess I understand why you didn't go right ahead and leave her... However, if you really aren't into her, don't stay with her. Break up with her the nicest way you can, and hope that she understands.

Yeah, she'll be mad that she got the tattoo, but you didn't hold a gun to her head and make her get it. If you're worried she'll hurt herself, tell one of her friends or family member.

#135 - On 07/27/2009 at 4:04pm by 56578

run away, far away

#136 - On 07/27/2009 at 4:07pm by N0Luck

if she actually got the tatoo out of love then wtf. but more likely she got it cause she knew the relationship was ending and wanted to save it cause shes needy. either way, bad idea. FYL.

#137 - On 07/27/2009 at 4:08pm by alpacino

She's an idiot for getting that tat...Whatever you do, DO NOT get a matching one. If you want to dump her, don't let the fact that she got a tattoo stand in the way. It's her own fault for being a complete moron and getting it was her choice.

#138 - On 07/27/2009 at 4:12pm by zee209

Not that I think getting a tattoo of anything is a great idea but I don't recall seeing such an excessively negative reaction to Angelina Jolie's Billy Bob tattoo and I think most of you are going a bit over board with the crazy comments. F his gf's life if anything.

#147 - On 07/27/2009 at 5:04pm by Twinklestar

Yeah, that's kinda what I was thinking...

#159 - On 07/27/2009 at 5:50pm by mobius8

DTMFA and run.

#153 - On 07/27/2009 at 5:24pm by FoundManyLemons

you deserve it for saying "reckon"

#154 - On 07/27/2009 at 5:34pm by zoesterhp

GET OUT! GET OUT! GET OUT!

That is a full on Level 5 Clinger.

You're pretty much screwed because the name tattoo pretty much proves that she's a crazy b**ch. If I were you, I'd make her dump you. She'll haunt you forever if you dump her. Take a page from How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days and multiply it by 10.

Good luck. You're gonna need it.

#156 - On 07/27/2009 at 5:43pm by bananapants

ha ha, you're awesome.

#170 - On 07/27/2009 at 9:03pm by BRIDESHEAD

being super lovey is one thing but a 'clinger' is different. she sounds a wee bit obsessive haha. you might wana get outta that shit asap >.>

#157 - On 07/27/2009 at 5:45pm by Lenne

What an idiot... You never get names unless it's your family...

#158 - On 07/27/2009 at 5:48pm by ASpocksky

well its never a good idea to get your mates name. although, you should just be happy someone loves you and wants to be with you. so what if shes needy, maybe she wouldnt be if you gave her more attention- fuckin asshole!

#160 - On 07/27/2009 at 5:56pm by FMLfangirl89

I cannot believe the ignorant comments like "You can't really rape guys cuz they don't care who they fuck!!!1!!1" What a bunch of narrow-minded assholes.

As for the OP... Somebody smelled a breakup headed her way. This is an obvious ploy to manipulate "her man" into staying. As was mentioned earlier, beware false (or worse yet, real, if you leave the protection up to her) pregnancy claims. Get her to take a pregnancy test, take back all keys, and educate yourself on restraining order procedure before you do the deed. Good luck. Stories like this make me so glad I'm straight.

#161 - On 07/27/2009 at 5:57pm by TheIrishJaneDoe

scary.... if that's her only problem maybe get her counciling? If not, a restraining order... this is weird. Maybe it's a joke?

#162 - On 07/27/2009 at 5:59pm by rustyrox

This reminds me so much of Ron and Lavender from Harry Potter....

only much, much worse.
FYL :/

#164 - On 07/27/2009 at 6:35pm by rockitout

tell her your real name is raul and who the frick is the other tattooed on her back

#166 - On 07/27/2009 at 8:12pm by blarney

This is an epic idea, I have to use this sometime. I doubt anyone will ever tattoo my name on their back, but there's lots of other situations where this would work. I wonder how difficult it would be to make a fake ID that says I'm named Raul?

#187 - On 07/28/2009 at 12:03am by Serith

If you think about it, from the girl's point of view, if she is completely oblivious to the matter. After he dumps her, she can write herself a FML on this website!

#167 - On 07/27/2009 at 8:14pm by Colin91

Haha that sucks! She should have known that whenever you get a tatto or someone else's name. the relationship will inevitably fail. So F her life. Dump her.

#168 - On 07/27/2009 at 8:41pm by madasahatter

Dump her ass anyway. That bitch is all kinds of crazy.

#169 - On 07/27/2009 at 8:42pm by avoidthegirl

eewwww!

#172 - On 07/27/2009 at 9:12pm by Qup

O I wish I could see her face when you decide to dump her ass!

#174 - On 07/27/2009 at 9:20pm by illgutcha

wow..she's stupid, I can't believe she would do that, I mean your not even married!! and now she'll have that for the rest of her life unless she gets a really painful removal..what will her other boyfriends think about that??

#175 - On 07/27/2009 at 9:23pm by hunterjumper24

so? its not your fault shes stupid.

#176 - On 07/27/2009 at 9:25pm by maggiewalters

Dump that bitch. And RUN, and get your phone # changed....

#177 - On 07/27/2009 at 10:08pm by SS240

That kinda blows, but it's not like you asked her to get the tattoo...Still FYL, that's gonna be one tough breakup.

#178 - On 07/27/2009 at 10:32pm by Mr_Horrible

not your problem, i hope this didn't stop you from breaking up with her

#179 - On 07/27/2009 at 10:51pm by steeeeeve

lol wow.. break up with her anyway. its her dumbass fault for getting your name on a tattoo anyway.. Hasn't she heard that's bad luck?? xD

#180 - On 07/27/2009 at 10:57pm by Crickets

don't break up with her for being needy, and if you do give her money to get it removed.

#181 - On 07/27/2009 at 11:20pm by A_dead_guy

Dump her, maybe she'll kill herself.

#183 - On 07/27/2009 at 11:34pm by Hjelloo

If she doesn't make you happy, leave her. Tattoo or not. That was her choice. It's not like you told her to get one.

#185 - On 07/27/2009 at 11:39pm by Princess_LC

I reckon you should too, but on your vagina.

#186 - On 07/28/2009 at 12:01am by ogmudbone

damn!
I feel sorry for you!

#188 - On 07/28/2009 at 12:19am by xSceneSceneBabyx

What a crazy hoe! I would dump her for sure!

#189 - On 07/28/2009 at 12:42am by katied4224

and thats when you know its time to leave lmfao .

#190 - On 07/28/2009 at 12:49am by hero14

what the fuk is a reckon?

#191 - On 07/28/2009 at 1:42am by cocky

In Australia and I think the UK and maybe other places too, "reckon" means to think. Like "I reckon his girlfriend is insane."

#192 - On 07/28/2009 at 2:37am by mutant_tomato

Reckon means think.. dumbass

#194 - On 07/28/2009 at 3:31am by Starsmydog

"dumbass"? not everyone HAS to know ALL the words in english
dumbass

#210 - On 07/28/2009 at 5:48pm by maggiewalters

dude... your life sucks... have fun with the breakup :D

#193 - On 07/28/2009 at 3:20am by trilingualotaku

Dude like ur pretty BONED look at this

If you dump her: Concidering how needy and crazy she is to get a tattoo like that, she will probly go on a shooting rampage or kill you after you dump her.

If you don't dump her: Your stuck with a girl you don't like forever or atleast until she dies.

#195 - On 07/28/2009 at 3:44am by kingg223

1. Stick with the guts - dump her

2. Perhaps then she will learn not to jump the gun and tattoo your name on her body

3. Consider that she may have sensed you wanted to break up with her and chose to get the tattoo as an attempt to keep you.

Either way, good luck with her. Sucks to be you.

#196 - On 07/28/2009 at 4:10am by Cazly_420

haha fail # 21

#197 - On 07/28/2009 at 4:50am by winemysavior

This might be harsh , but straight up dumb her .
Don't be an ass about it , but dump her .
Follow through on your original plan .
Just because she did something to herself that will be with her for her entire life ,
doesn;t mean you should stay with her ...
Plus she did it without asking you .

#199 - On 07/28/2009 at 5:36am by staystrongholdon

awkward....

#201 - On 07/28/2009 at 6:41am by ashbaz

She deserves it for being a moron, you're quite right to dump her, just a shame you didn't get there sooner.

#202 - On 07/28/2009 at 8:06am by hollyHURR

I didn't read through the entire forum, so I might be repeating something someone else already said, but it seems like the girl got the tattoo as another way to claim possession over him. When someone is discribed as needy it usually means they're passive aggressive. She probabily figured out that he was going to break up with him and got the tattoo as a last ditch effort to force them to stay together. In her mind it shows him how devoted she is to him (aka needy) and also, gives she a way of guilting him into staying in the relationship, ("I tattooed my back for you!!")

#205 - On 07/28/2009 at 10:12am by sleepreader

The fact that she got your name tattooed on her doesn't make her psycho, unless you've been dating for like, a month and she got it done. I feel bad for her, but it was stupid of her to do something like that. She should have talked to you about it first. What's she going to do after you dump her? Place an ad in the personals? "Cute, single female looking for Mr. Right. Tall, funny, and your name must be (insert whatever name the idiot tattooed on herself)" People need to realize that tattoos are permanent, and what if she had fallen out of love with you later on? Twenty years from now, she'd be married to a different guy, with kids, and her kids would ask who in the world that name was. Stupid

#207 - On 07/28/2009 at 10:37am by PoeticPixie

I'm sorry man ...

#209 - On 07/28/2009 at 3:43pm by person1000003

She seems like the type that would poke holes in your condoms to make you love her.

#211 - On 07/28/2009 at 9:18pm by drinkupgorgeous

Lmao #211 you just made my night that was hilarious!

#212 - On 07/29/2009 at 1:00am by sftballdarlin_18

yea.....im pretty sure suicide is out of the question at this rate

#213 - On 07/29/2009 at 1:52am by EveryDayJackAss

well dont lead her on things are already crazy so yu might as well end it now before she claims she's pregnant or tries to kill yu . goodluck

#216 - On 07/29/2009 at 12:40pm by misz_carter

Well...be nice to remind her: love might last forever, but tattoos last six months more xD

ok, but really, this girl is crazy!
you should NEVER get someones elses name on your skin as a surprise (I would be preaty freak out if my bf showed up with my name permanently scarred on his skin...and I'm an absolute sucker for tattoos!!)
and don't you forget: she might have noticed you wnated to break up with her and choose to guilt you into satying with her (yep, chicks ARE crazy like that -_-)

#217 - On 07/29/2009 at 1:34pm by forbiddenqueen

That's exactly why I agreed with my boyfriend to never ever get name tattoos.
Things like that can always happen.
I wouldn't call her crazy though, it's a sweet thing to do imo, just not really a smart thing.

#218 - On 07/30/2009 at 7:00am by HuskyButt

She ain't only needy, she's a retard too apparently, who's that dumb to put the name of his/her partner on his/her body?

#219 - On 07/30/2009 at 5:38pm by Belgian

DUMP HER NOW BEFORE SHE DOES MORE

#220 - On 07/30/2009 at 6:01pm by izangela

ROFL.

#221 - On 07/30/2009 at 6:03pm by izangela

SDI (She deserved it) For getting the tattoo in the first place.
First. You should be married if your going to do that.
Second, If you are getting anyone name on you, it should be BLOOD RELATED.
Otherwise, something might happen, and you two might end.
Then you would have a tattoo that means nothing, and not another love life.

#222 - On 07/31/2009 at 5:42am by Peacelover99

Im so sorry man

#223 - On 07/31/2009 at 11:31am by guitar12

DUMP HER.. can't wait to read her FML story

#224 - On 07/31/2009 at 2:24pm by copey

Holy fuck. That is one step beyond needy. D:

#225 - On 08/02/2009 at 12:08am by BigDickGary

Wow, that's pretty crazy. You shouldn't ever do that, especially while dating, and its still a really bad idea even after marriage.

#226 - On 08/03/2009 at 6:29pm by RuralNinja

wow. that's just...insane.
the only time a tattoo about your relationship is ever alright is if you are married, have been for a long time, and know you're always going to be together. like my parents -- for their 26th anniversary, they both got 'rings' tattooed to their left ring fingers in place of their wedding rings. i think my mom mostly wanted it because for whatever reason, old ladies always hit on my dad (and some around 30-40) and he didn't wear his wedding ring much because he works in construction and he didn't want to lose it. but it's a really cool tattoo they both got, it's the symbol for eternity with their initials (c and d) made into a heart above it.
but back to the post...i hope you still broke up with her, instead of, say, staying with her for guilt of making her feel bad, and because of that tattoo. she's wayyyy too obsessed...get out now!!

#227 - On 08/04/2009 at 12:03pm by elliekinslurvsya

Just guessing - your name stars with e?

#232 - On 08/18/2009 at 3:34pm by GmanG

What makes you think so?

#234 - On 09/22/2009 at 10:04pm by Charlieeeeeeeeee

FYL, You were obviously, whether or not purposefully acting different towards her, becacause apparently your feelings for her had started to waiver, so why, knowing things were different between the 2 of you, would she take it upon herself to make a lifetime committment w/out discussing it prior. That just made the break up 30X more difficult. DEF FYL
