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.

Wow, what a bitch. Really. Intramural softball? She wasn't playing in the world ******* series! As much as I disagree with the war, I have a lot of respect for the soldiers and their true bravery. If I had a loved one in the military, even if they were only there for a week, I would have my ass at that airport the moment I knew they were coming home.

Intramural softball is hardly a responsibility. Sorry to hear that bro. Glad your home safe, now find yourself a woman who will be there for you at a time like that. Dont forget the reason you do what you do because of her

I'm sorry to be the devil's advocate, but isn't anyone considering the possibility that he may be a truly awful boyfriend? Obviously the OP wouldn't point out that he's an asshole...that would kind of negate the whole FML thing and make it a YDI. Yes, what our service men and women do is wonderful, but that doesn't mean that they're all individually good people. I was in an extremely abusive relationship with someone in the military. We married and shortly thereafter he was given orders to South Korea. We agreed that it was important to be together in the early stages of the marriage to build a solid foundation. So I left in the middle of pursuing my master's in architecture to join him overseas. And THAT is when he began to isolate me from my friends and family in the states, then the verbal abuse began and quickly escalated. He is the reason SOLE I've yet to graduate, and now I get the dubious honor of being a 20-something divorcee (despite it being annulled, I still get to have that oh-so-attractive stigma of a being a failure at marriage. I'm very lucky I was able to break the abusive cycle and flee home. Some people can't; some are so beaten down that leaving the abuser seems impossible. So before you judge take into consideration ALL the possibilities. Maybe she's a super-shitty girlfriend...or maybe he's an awful boyfriend. Or maybe (and most likely) it's somewhere in between. This is the one thing I hate about this site: how adamant some people are that their opinion is right. So much that they judge others (and harshly, at that) who post a differing view. Why can't we all get that it's IMPOSSIBLE to tell the whole story in two or three sentences? Furthermore, when the situation in case involves more than one person, then we're even LESS informed because there are two sides to every story. I'm BEGGING you guys, try to be at least somewhat diplomatic. And think before you post something on the internet. EVERYTHING you put out there is traceable back to you. Who knows, you could be screwing your future if the wrong person sees one of your asinine and uninformed comments.

#3 Intramural is only for fun, anyways. Even so, a softball game is WAY less important than your boyfriend who COULD have died.
