Today, I told my soon-to-be-ex that he never does anything for the kids, and hasn't contributed a dime. He showed up with a half a gallon of milk and a box of cereal. Not what I meant. FML
Collection
College Life
Packed lecture halls, a sketchy roommate and frat parties: welcome to college, the real thing.
Today, I asked my husband to watch our kids while I cooked food for him. Apparently I asked in the wrong tone, because now he's pouting and won't eat. FML
Today, my boyfriend told me he doesn't think he should marry me, because I have kids. They're his kids. FML
Today, I found out that my ex let my son eat nothing but cereal and milk for every single meal during his five-day visit. Now my son shrieks, cries, and has a meltdown if I try to make him eat real food. My ex merely replied, "Your problem now." FML
Today, I told my boyfriend of five months that it's time he stopped fighting for custody with his baby mama, and to start focusing more on my kids, whom he said he would take responsibility for. He responded by telling me to pack my things, saying we should all leave. FML
Today, I made the mistake of telling my boyfriend I was taking my kids to my mother's until he has decided if he wants to carry on being a boyfriend and stepfather. While we were gone, he apparently realised how good his life could be without us, and dumped me. I fucked up. FML
Today, I called my ex to ask if he could help with bills and buying some nice things for my son. He said, "Look, I'm not going to keep doing husband and father shit for a woman who won't marry me and a kid who isn't mine. Go call his dad." His dad is a deadbeat. He knows this. FML
Today, after my ex had promised his mother he’d give something from her estate to my kids when she died, so she never bothered to change her will to include them, and she died a few weeks ago so I asked him about it because my eldest is going to university soon. He laughed in my face and shut the door. FML
Today, I asked my boyfriend to help me with groceries, since the last of my money went to last week's groceries. His response was to start a fight, then tell me it's my fault my daughter acts the way she does, which is when he finally got me to break down and cry. I'm pregnant with his kid, and I also pay 90% of our bills. FML
Today, I went to see my mother with my kids. Before, I had told my son to give her hugs and kisses and I would buy him candy. He did, but then he told her that I said that. FML
Today, my husband suddenly decided he was going to stop talking about all the changes he needed to make, and finally do them. That's great, except that in less than a day, he lost his shit at me and our young kids for not immediately fixing everything about ourselves as well. They're still sobbing and he doesn't care. FML

Maybe you should tell him what you want, not what he is doing wrong

It's a start? I have no idea how to apply Pavlov's theory here, though.

Well, I'm not sure this is any consolation, but he finally put forth dimes (child support and maybe alimony) once the divorce goes through. if he's that much of a loser as you imply I'd take the milk and cereal effort pre-divorcr as a sort of something. Not a marriage saving something alas... but something?

At least he's trying

That's a good reason why you should get to know someone before you let them knock you up. there are always signs

aww. he's trying... however clumsily. The actions of a man who wants to please you but isn't gifted in working out how. much like many people slightly on the spectrum... perhaps you could tell him what you need.mpre directly? 1 request at a time? good luck OP.

Is nobody concerned that the date said the 7th, when it's only the 6th?

It's the 7th in a few places, I'll be happy when FML corrects my gender, however, I'll keep the youthful age it now gives...

What cereal did he bring? Sugar Smacks = Good dad Fiber One = Bad dad

So he tried! It's clear that he took what you said and tried to work on the problem. YDI if you're going to bitch about your soon to be ex on FML because he interpreted what you said differently than want you meant. Next be specific and learn to see when someone's making a clear effort.
