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

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.

people who say he deserves it are idiots. it's an INTRAMURAL softball game. for the of you who don't know what that is....IT DOESN'T COUNT ! there are no college scholarships riding on this game and she sure as hell is not getting paid to play in it. if my boyfriend was gone for 6 months fighting for our country, putting his life before ours, i would be at the airport to pick him up no matter what. if i had to go states away to pick him up i would, in 2 seconds. no matter how much she got "used to life" without him there, if she really does love him she would make him her first priority when he comes home for the first time. i would be at the airport days before waiting for him. i hate idiotic people- he is not "needy."

Everyone saying he's not being understanding are complete idiots. You've never been in the situation so don't talk like you know what's going on. She choose sports over her boyfriend who's been gone for 6 months. And don't say it's his fault for being gone, if you don't know what you're getting into when you start a relationship with someone in the military then you're an idiot and if you can't handle it then get out of the relationship. My husband is in the Army. I'm sorry but when he's gone for 6 months I make a point to be there when he gets back. We've gone through 2 deployments and I still count down the days till he's back and I can see him agian. Yes you get into a new routine while he's gone but you stil make sure you see them when they're back!!!! He's not being a jerk, he's just upset his girlfriend wasn't excited to see him. Nothing wrong with that .AT ALL!!!

Wow people are retarded.. Your in the army, dumb bitch should be able to take the time out of her busy life ( Intramural softball does not count as being busy) in order to pick up a true american hero from the airport. People take off work for this thing all the time, plus your intramural softball team doesn't want a selfish bitch on it. If you ever need a ride just give me a ring, but judging I don't know where you fly into i might need advanced notice.
