Gifted

Today, my husband's rich aunt and uncle came in town and handed us an envelope and said we hope this helps out with the student loans. Inside the envelope was just an article on new student loan procedures and how to get lower payments. FML

Today, I discovered that when my parents offered to help me pay for college, what they really meant is they would get the forms for me to apply for student loans. FML

Today, my parents gave me a letter they'd forgotten about since late last year. In it was a $30,000 scholarship to a local master's program with an application due date of two weeks ago. FML

Today, my husband announced the reason he had been working since much is because he had secretly paid off my tens of thousands of student loans. I then had to tell him I'm leaving him for his best friend. FML

Today, I called my dad to ask why my university tuition had not been paid. He said that my school was "too expensive" and he "couldn't afford it." He then asked me if I would take in his mail while he was away. He was taking his new wife to Hawaii; apparently it's beautiful this time of year. FML

Today, my father's company shut down his branch, leaving him without a job. This is followed by a letter from my school's financial aid office, saying I'm not getting a penny because my family's income level is too high. FML

They don't exactly owe you ANYthing, so not really a FML.

Umm, just because they're wealthy doesn't mean they have to share it with you. This isn't an FML. Just too bad for you.

To previous comments. So a rich relative hands u an envelope saying here is something to help with your debts and your first guess would be a leaflet? Some of you are delusional little bitches, if only me and OP were as awesome as you.

tell me about it. my parents couldn't make it to my graduation since they live in another country. they sent me an envelope. i was expecting a check since i was in need of money, and they made a big deal to rush mail it and kept asking me on the phone if i had received it yet. i expected it to be something important. it was only a card saying happy graduation....

How are they douchebags when the aunt and uncle made it out as if it was money to go towards the loans? I'd be pissed as well if I were them.

They don't owe you jack. They made their own money. Get off your butt and make yours and quit holding your hand out. If you can't pay off your loans, don't take them out. It's idiots like you who have screwed up the economy and expect everyone else to pay for their free ride. I bet you can't wait until your parents fall over dead so you can get their money too.

I don't understand how your life is f'd though because its not... your husband rich aunt and uncle didn't have to give you money! I honestly don't understand how this is an FML! I've submitted much worse FMLs than this one.
