Today, I got back from a six month deployment overseas. My girlfriend of three years couldn't pick me up from the airport because she had an intramural softball game to go to. FML

Autumn: Leaves and Laughter
When the leaves fall, the laughter rises. Discover autumn stories as crisp as dried leaves!
Today, I'm seven months into a twelve month deployment. I called my fiancée, and she dumped me. The worst part is that two days ago, I re-enlisted to go to a unit an hour away from her house. FML
Today, my girlfriend of six months dumped me over the phone. I'm in the military and recently had to move away to another fort. We'd agreed that we would try to make long distance work. I'd even offered to buy a plane ticket to come see her each weekend. I've been gone less than two weeks. FML
Today, I got back from an 8 month deployment but rather than being pleased to see me my wife wanted to continue the same argument we were having the day I left. I miss being shot at. FML
Today, my girlfriend of over a year broke up with me while I'm deployed overseas. Her reason why is that she needs "to be alone to better herself." FML
Today, my girlfriend left for basic training. I went to say goodbye to her at the airport. Only after I walked back to my car did I realize that she still had the keys. My extra set was back at the house, locked in. FML
Today, I went to pick up my long-distance boyfriend at the airport. It has been over six months since I last saw him and four days since I last heard from him. He never showed up. FML
Today, my boyfriend came home from being deployed for the past 3 months. As soon as he gets out of the car, he walks right past me and goes to hug his dog. FML
Today, my fiancé left for a 6-month deployment overseas. I waved him away, came back inside alone, and cried. I know this is what I signed up for, but the cat could've shown more sympathy than staring at me and walking away. FML
Today, I came home on leave from a 7 month deployment to Iraq. I wanted to see my girlfriend today, but she needed to spend time with her sick grandmother. As it turns out, her sick grandmother and my cousin are the same person. FML
Today, I met the girl who dumped me because the distance between us was too great. We're in the same city again. She's now dating a Marine in Iraq. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

lol, at #3. No one takes intramural sports seriously. Certainly no one considers it a responsibility to play intramural sports where half the people show up drunk. This was a burn big time. You should take as much offense to this as possible.

Uhm, try to be a little understanding, maybe? Sure she probably loves you but she has her own responsibilities too. Stop being a douche.

Wow I didn't know intramurals meant so much more than seeing someone who was fighting for her to get to play intramurals an live safely who she happened to be in a relationship with

#166 I have respect for the military, but stop thinking that someone should get a heavy dose of special treatment just for doing their job. Just because he serves this country in a noble way doesn't mean she HAS to love him. Many people who don't sign up for the military do a lot of work in keeping this country going and they don't get special treatment.

No one said she HAD to love him. But if he's fighting over seas for six months the LEAST she could do is meet him at the airport. Even if he wasn't a soldier, six months is a long time to be away. Wouldn't she still want to greet him?

you all dont understand what priorities are doesnt matter if it was a soft ball game, this is the guy who is in a relationship with her the least she could do is pick him up at the airport

#181 Soldiers, who risk their lives, need the most faith in their country to do this job and faith in those downstream (politicians) to act as a tool for the country's desires. Of course, because they are risking so much (their lives, and faith in the country) they deserve recognition and appreciation. To give the argument 'they are paid and don't deserve thanks' is madness because you assume they do it solely for monetary gain, which may be the case for some but definitely not all.

I had a boyfriend who was in and out of training and Iraq. To be completely honest, a girlfriend will stop caring when you're around or not, she's gotten used to you not being there for a large amount of time.

No, if you care about someone you don't "stop caring" just because they are gone. You fail.

Wow. That must of felt really shitty. You think she would want to see.

It's not like she isn't going to see you in a couple hours. Yeah, it would have been better if she picked you up, but she has her own responsibilities too. Stop being such a baby.

Ouch. The only balls she should have been handling that day were yours... in her mouth preferably. I think she owes you many many blow jobs for that. If she resists just use the "I fought for your freedom dammit" line. ;-)

U didnt put off your deployment and she missed u for 6months. U missed her for a drive and really think she is a bitch? Why should she put off her responsibilities for u if u didnt put off yours for her? Take a cab ans stop whining! Hope she has found another guy (or girl) in those 6 months... or **** her life...

she can miss a stupid softball game to pick up her boyfriend who she hasn't seen in three months. It's not like he could not go when he signed up for the army. It brings in money for him and who knows, he might have been saving up for a wedding. His girlfriend is a bitch for not picking him up. I would deff skip a gay softball game to pick up my boyfriend after not seeing him for six months. FYL and get a new girlfriend.

Are you stupid??? She chose to date him she should've known that he'd have to leave cause that's his job. If she hadn't come cause she was working then it's understandable but for a ******* baseball game, that's ****** up. That's not a responsibility bigger than him. He deserves better especially for his hardwork
