Today, my girlfriend of a year broke up with me because I didn't fight some guy that started hitting her right in front of me... In a dream. She was totally serious. FML

(+1)Oh no, now you have to find someone with half a brain to go out with!

(0)Let me ask you something...If she's basing an opinion of you from a dream, do you really need her?
(0)stick her hand in warm water while she's sleeping. maybe she'll dream of diapers. it's a win-win. you are no longer with a girl missing half a brain and she will be wearing diapers for the rest of her life all because of a dream.

(0)#52, whose sex are you telling us to break up? Sounds fun!
(Hyphens are your friends.)

(0)Hyphens aren't nearly as fun as stuck up nazis thinking they're cool for knowing HOW IT SHOULD BE DONE even when the context clearly explains what the poster said...
#112 - On 09/21/2009 at 2:30am by TysonFawlay
(0)I dunno, i'm sure the OP is leaving some things out. maybe she was like....
being all symbolic and what not. Like maybe she reads into her dreams really heavely. you know, new agey?
still it's dumb, a really dumb reason to break up with someone
(0)actually i know alot of women who take dreams waaaay to seriously. two of the girls i have dated in the past repeatedly chastised me for what i did or did not do in thier dreams. . . IDK if all women think that way or i just found two crazies like his now ex but it's a hell of a streak
(0)#46 wins, no other FML comment could match this one! EPIC!
#146 - On 09/24/2009 at 4:51pm by OMGoriginality
(0)I know! She wanted to break up with u so she needed an excuse!
#155 - On 04/13/2010 at 12:05am by Sniper3000
(+1)How is that a bad thing? At least now you might find somebody with a good amount of common sense.
#2 - On 09/20/2009 at 1:44pm by devaraja42
(0)its a bad thing because he was stupid enough to be with this idiot in the first place. shoulda picked up on it in under a day, theres no way you can be dating someone and not know their head is a dead zone. the fact that your phone drops out when youre in range should be a clear indicator if nothing else.
#116 - On 09/21/2009 at 3:41am by organisedchaos
(+3)I fucking hate it when people blame you for things you did in THEIR dreams. My mother used to do that to me all the time.
(+1)I know. It's awful. That's happened to me before. I had a dream that I went into a coma and my mom pulled the plug on me. I told her about it, you know because it was creepy, but I didn't yell at her or get pissed at her for killing me or something. The OP's girlfriend is an idiot.

(0)lern 2 inglish: psycho's mean psycho is or something belongs to a psycho, it is not the plural, which would be psychos.

(0)english, means. learn to spell and subject verb agreement.
#133 - On 09/21/2009 at 4:33pm by Plumppotato
(0)How about a nice cup of shut the fuck up?, I originally wrote "lern 2 inglish", however I decided to be a good Samaritan and give a free English lesson, rather than just ridicule, so with the 30 seconds I had to spare whilst editing, I quickly input all that I believed this uneducated person would need to tell the difference of using apostrophes; when something is in possession (The world's best website = Fmylife.com) and something in omission (you're = you are, as used in the sentence: you're a total pile of steaming, useless shit, Plumppotato).

(0)*How about a nice cup of shut the fuck up? I originally wrote "lern 2 inglish"; however, I decided to be a good Samaritan and give a free English lesson rather than just ridicule, so with the 30 seconds I had to spare whilst editing, I quickly input all that I believed this uneducated person would need to tell the difference between two separate usages of the apostrophe: when indicating possession, (i.e. "the world's best website is fmylife.com"), and when forming a contraction, (i.e. you're, or you are, as used in the sentence, "you're a total pile of streaming, useless shit, Plumppotato").
The fact still stands that you can't try to correct someone else's grammar whilst exhibiting poor grammar yourself. :)
P.S. - You'll notice I used the accepted American English grammar conventions in my edited version. This is simply due to the fact that I was educated in the U.S. and so adhere to these rules; however, there are several instances in your original comment, (most notably the comma after the parentheses, the comma splice between the second and third sentences, etc.), in which you are simply wrong.
#138 - On 09/22/2009 at 4:02am by theanonimouse
(0)I can see that you have visited my account page, and you would have also seen that I do not reside in the U.S. I already mentioned that I had scarce amount of time in order to edit my original comment, a fact which you seem oblivious to. Also why do you have a picture of someone(yourself?) at some sort of formal gathering, resembling a dance, as an avatar for *this* website, that just makes no sense. Go back to facebook or w/e website you crazy, young, attention-seeking kids are in to nowadays.
-meow
#139 - On 09/23/2009 at 12:21am by lolzRaptor
(0)You're right. A raptor makes so much more sense as an avatar than an actual picture of YOURSELF, and you're completely exempt from any English language rules, even when you're just being an ass and trying to correct someone else's use of it.
Oh how did I go so wrong?
#144 - On 09/23/2009 at 10:10pm by theanonimouse
(0)wowzerz anotha masterr ov sarcasm, I hav met mi match, lets join forcez and rule these sorry internetz with iron fists!
It iz so nice to have u as a pal, theanonimouse.
#145 - On 09/23/2009 at 11:56pm by lolzRaptor
(0)Wow. What a dick. Picking on other people's English skills. (It's spelled English, not inglish or however you spelled it.) Why would anyone want to visit your profile page? No one cares where you're from, so you are exempt from English grammar rules. See? I'm Japanese and I'm pretty sure I did pretty well.
#164 - On 07/27/2010 at 4:10pm by daijobu_desu_ka
(+1)wow, LOL!
maybe its a good thing she broke up with u. seriously, do u wanna be with some1 who breaks up with u cuz u didnt do something for her in a "dream"?
#7 - On 09/20/2009 at 1:49pm by jessxoxo28
(0)yeah if a girl did that to me i would brand her a nutcase and leave...my girlfriend dreamt random things about me but she never broke up with me for it :P
#130 - On 09/21/2009 at 2:05pm by canucksrule88
(0)Atleast you won't be with that dumb bitch any more.
FYL but things are looking up now.
#8 - On 09/20/2009 at 1:49pm by YumYumKittyloaf
(+3)Wow, and you control what happens in your dream. So, maybe she was thinking that you couldn't or wouldn't defend her? (Not to make you feel bad, but I'm taking psych so it's just an interpretation). Besides, like no. 2 said, at least you can find someone with more sense.
#10 - On 09/20/2009 at 1:50pm by timewarpist
(+1)I had a dream yesterday that my mom was addicted to crack. I'm pretty sure that I don't think anything like that IRL :P
FYL, OP, until you find a girl with a brain.
#14 - On 09/20/2009 at 1:54pm by Chopperman
(0)You do think that, unconsciously. Or it's just some doubt, that you might just be portraying on your mother.
#57 - On 09/20/2009 at 3:52pm by arienh4
(0)That has to be one of the funniest cop outs of a relationship I have heard in a while.
#18 - On 09/20/2009 at 2:02pm by DrunkenValor
(-1)No, he should pay someone to start hitting her in real life, then beat up the dude and when she begs him to take her back just say "No thanks bitch, I dreamt that you cheated on me with the dude that just hit you, THAT's why I beat him" ;) or something along those lines.
#115 - On 09/21/2009 at 3:33am by Puolukka
(+1)Seriously you dodged a huge bullet. Not an FML but more of a NMSHIML.(no more stupid hoes in my life)
#21 - On 09/20/2009 at 2:07pm by Egotistical
(+1)It's possible, there are GF's out there who take everything to heart...literally everything. Either this, or the GF just used this as a excuse to break up with OP. God, why can't they just say that it's over up front and not use some pathetic excuse?
#27 - On 09/20/2009 at 2:18pm by loooooooooool
(0)I know some people like that. They dream something, and think it represents real life. Or, it shows their own fears, then they think about it too much. She'd be all 'oh, he didn't defend me' then the seeds of doubt were in her mind, she convinced herself that he wouldn't defend her in real life, and thought that that was a deal breaker.
#95 - On 09/20/2009 at 8:18pm by NotNegativeNews
(0)You prick!!
Nah man, that dream saved your life from a potential psycho.
#24 - On 09/20/2009 at 2:12pm by Roberto_66
(0)wow. sometimes dreams mean something... but most of the time they don't mean shit.
well, you're better off.
#26 - On 09/20/2009 at 2:15pm by papertigers
(0)Tell her her dream was false and instead you went bankai Hollow on that dude. if she doesn't believe you then it's just a bullshit excuse.
(+1)No more bleach for you....Seriously. I love that show but ....THe only reason you'd bring it into a context like this is obsession
(0)That sucks, man! My mom was paranoid about me going to coffee anywhere she had never been, with the guy I was dating, because she had a dream that a guy and I were murdered in a coffee shop. o_O
(0)... Do you honestly believe that was the real reason?
You're an idiot, dude. And really, I have to hand it to her - I think that is the most creative excuse I have heard of to date. Bullshit artist of the year award goes straight to her. Dumbass of the year goes to you if you think that she meant it.
#35 - On 09/20/2009 at 2:42pm by judgeymcjudge
(0)Do you really think the OP believes her? And how do you know she is not a crazy bitch? The excuse really isn't that creative, just dumb and makes her look like a lunatic. He is probably thinking "Wow my ex did not even respect me enough/think I am smart enough to give me a real reason to break up". Dumb bitch of the year award goes to her, lucky I got out of a relationship with a crazy person award goes to him.
(0)lol, she doesn't look like a lunatic, because no one in their right minds would actually believe it and she knows it. I bet she's off laughing with her friends about it right now. And if he does believe her, then he deserves the total lack of respect and the lie. If he doesn't, then he's just another boring tool who posted it on FML for attention instead of actually meaning it. Either way, he's a dick and she gets the win here.
#110 - On 09/21/2009 at 1:50am by judgeymcjudge
(0)"...Baby, why'd you leave me, why'd you have to go
I was counting on forever, now I'll never know
I cant even breathe
It's like I'm, looking from a distance, standing in the background
Everybody's saying, he's not coming home now,
This can't be happening to me
This is just a dream..."
#36 - On 09/20/2009 at 2:46pm by ireply_w_lyrics
tell her you had this wicked weird dream where you stabbed this girl who looks just like her.
#41 - On 09/20/2009 at 3:03pm by splydoms
(0)Something similar in rescue me... character gets mad because she dreamed her boyfriend cheated on her or something.
On the plus side, my girlfriend gave me props because she had a dream in which I punched out a Serb war criminal from the former Yugoslavia (we'd been watching '24' the night before.)
#44 - On 09/20/2009 at 3:20pm by drimpossible
(0)Maybe she was using it as an excuse to break up with you.
#48 - On 09/20/2009 at 3:28pm by Witchcraft
(0)LOL she probably doesn't want to take the chance.
she had that dream because somewhere in her mind she believes that would actually happen
(0)i'm so sick of fml's like this one. they're all the same. "my girlfriend/boyfriend broke up with me because... (something ridiculous). FML"
either you have no taste in people, or that person's only excuse to break up with you was a dream.
(0)That's hilarious, but yet the most retarded way to break up with someone.
#65 - On 09/20/2009 at 4:04pm by kennythedude
(+1)What a stupid bitch.
Tonight, you should purposely have a dream where you are the one hitting her, and her new boyfriend doesn't stop you. That'll teach her.
#66 - On 09/20/2009 at 4:08pm by JeremytheJackass
(0)I can't believe you didn't fought that dude in her dream! You weakly girly man, you!
But this isn't really a FYL or a YDI. I mean you should be thankful that you didn't have kids with this particular dummy. She'd probably pop it in the oven.
#67 - On 09/20/2009 at 4:22pm by NorfolkDude
(0)I had something kinda similiar happen once but didn;t get dumped, my g'freind at the time had a dream that me her and another chick were having a threesome, she got mad and jealous at me about it when she woke up, the thing is my g'freind was bi-sexual and was previously two timing me with the girl in the dream in real life, I forgave her for that and had moved on but she still got mad at me for what happened in the dream. Women are effing crazy!
(0)You're better off without that special brand of crazy, so more power to you for not defending her. In her dream. That you had no control over in any way.
(0)So not only did your ex-girlfriend believe everything in her dreams...but she also is one of these precious, made-of-porcelain girls who can't stand up for herself and thinks her guy isn't worth anything unless he's covered in someone else's blood in her "honor"? Gimme a break. Her dumping you may feel like an FML now, but she actually did you a huge favor.
#71 - On 09/20/2009 at 4:28pm by ihatestupidppl
(0)Hm, it now occurs to me that the FML says "hitting her", not "hitting ON her". If that's a mistake and you meant to say "hitting ON her", my original comment still stands. If you really meant "hitting her", then she's still a bitch for breaking up with you over a dream, and not worth your time, but the rest of my comment is null. (Although I still think women need to learn how to physically defend themselves instead of waiting for their knight in shining armor to save them.)
#81 - On 09/20/2009 at 5:56pm by ihatestupidppl
Psh, you don't need someone like that. It's only a dream!!
#73 - On 09/20/2009 at 4:34pm by Jamesfranz
(0)hitting her or hitting ON her? cuz there's a really big difference.
#75 - On 09/20/2009 at 5:01pm by xSceneSceneBabyx
(0)person1233's comment was jst fucking awesome funniest comment uve ever read so far
#78 - On 09/20/2009 at 5:28pm by youdontdeserveit
(0)What the fuck is wrong is with you ? some asshole was beating your gf up and you didn't do anything fuck you man your a looser
#79 - On 09/20/2009 at 5:48pm by thedon10120
(0)Lol, 46.
And HAHAHA at the girlfriend's decision-making skills. I mean, I guess she could have been channeling Freud and getting all psychoanalytical about it, but she really shouldn't base such a big decision off of a DREAM.
#82 - On 09/20/2009 at 6:04pm by Not_Ever_Telling
(0)... It was in her DREAM, not in real life. He had no control over what his girlfriends 'dream boyfriend' did. /rolls eyes
(0)yeah dude i knew someone like that who took dreams wayyy too seriously
lucky she broke up with u now before you thought about getting more serious
#86 - On 09/20/2009 at 6:40pm by diet_cocaine
(0)Not that this is real anyway (unless you happened to be dating a moron or something), but YDI for not being thankful for a blessing in disguise. That's not to mention YDI for dating a nutter in the first place. Lastly, get that woman a shrink, stat!
#89 - On 09/20/2009 at 6:57pm by blastvortex
(0)Be grateful. If she's that much of a wackjob, it's better you find out now.
#93 - On 09/20/2009 at 7:32pm by awwwdammit
(0)Sounds like a good day, my pal. Women who break up with you over trivial shit are merely speeding up natural selection. Someday we'll have all smart women with nice personalities.
I can dream. ):
(0)Yo...Thats crazy man. Haha. Sorry you wasted your time wit her delusional ass in the 1st place.
#101 - On 09/20/2009 at 10:57pm by KillaKanibus
(0)Okay this may sound phyco too but i got mad at my mom once because she put my cat down in a dream
the reason why is because the dream felt soo real like it happened yeasterday
and it was different from all my other dreams
i cant explain it
anywho breaking up with you is a lil harsh
lol
:D
#103 - On 09/21/2009 at 12:13am by twitterwhore66
(0)dreams reflect perception, she broke up with you because she doesn't think of you as a man
#105 - On 09/21/2009 at 1:13am by PaulieeBooMN
(0)It's people like her that give everyone the illusion that women are all crazy bitches.
Note to all men: We're not /all/ crazy bitches.
Some of us are just bitches.
#106 - On 09/21/2009 at 1:18am by SusanaSaysRawrxD
(0)sounds like she was just looking for an excuse
any woman who holds a dream against you - assuming you wouldn't act that way in real life - isn't worth keeping
#107 - On 09/21/2009 at 1:38am by were_giraffe
(0)hahahahahahahaha... i know it's mean to laugh because that's really um bad for you
but this is one of the funniest thing i've heard today
#108 - On 09/21/2009 at 1:46am by jocelyn445
(0)She was looking for an excuse to dump you, plain and simple. GET OVER IT.
#122 - On 09/21/2009 at 9:11am by _THE_MASTER_
(0)A girl I was seeing didn't talk to me for three days because I left her to fend for herself during a tornado in a dream. Bullshit.
(0)girls can be retarded like that. i dont know why or how to avoid it. you are out of luck dude. try telling her that she is overreacting and to get over it
(0)Yeah, my ex got mad at me once for failing to do something in her dream. Hence, ex.
#127 - On 09/21/2009 at 1:25pm by AlexMercer
(0)ok this doesnt make sense yet, but ydi for dating a dolt.
#132 - On 09/21/2009 at 3:05pm by satanstoystore
(0)Her dreams are too ordinary for her own good. If it was MY dream, that guy would have gotten a point-blank Hadouken to the face.
(0)YDI for telling your girlfriend how much of a pussy you are in your dreams and how badly you want to see her get hurt by others.
#140 - On 09/23/2009 at 2:40am by HeroicDude
dude if that happened then obviously she wasn't that great of a girlfriend. is she like some kind of pshycic person ?
#143 - On 09/23/2009 at 12:52pm by only_me_29
(0)ive never broken up with anyone but ive been upset with people before. lol. it's irrational and i remind myself they didnt really do what i dreamed about, but the emotions i felt/feel are real. but FYL for her taking it so seriously she actually ended things.
#148 - On 09/25/2009 at 7:50am by amazemyself2
(0)I voted "You deserved it" -- while it was obviously the last, that couldn't have been the FIRST stupid thing she's ever said or done. You should have left that one ages ago.
#151 - On 10/22/2009 at 4:47am by sean2point0
(0)I don't see why you're all blaming the girl here. If he doesn't even fight in a dream, where there is no way he would lose, what's he going to do in real life? Sure, it's a silly thing to break up for, but why wouldn't she be pissed that he didn't do anything? Weird that it's in a dream though. But if it'd been a year, he should have known the way she felt about things like that. So in a way, YDI, but at the same time FYL.
#154 - On 02/13/2010 at 12:32am by CrossesCount
(0)How exactly was HE voluntarily supposed to hit a guy that he was totally unaware even existed in HER head. Personally, I think you should have just hit her in the face and said "There, he was in your head, so I hit him. Happy now?"
So you know, I am not literally proposing that any guy hit a girl, but it would just have been a great and clever response to her stupidity.
