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.

#12, you're a huge asshole. What do you mean, it's not a big deal? When someone's on a sports team, that becomes your life. Sure, it doesn't seem important if you're not ON the team, but when you're on a team.. it just seems silly to not go when she'll probably see you right after and assumes you have SOME other friends or family to pick you up.

#11, you make it sound like he was being selfish going off to serve overseas, or that he didn't miss her, too. While this is not FML, it's completely insane to compare serving one's country to playing intramural softball.

No matter the reason for you to be away for such a long time, she should've been there to welcome you back, it's what anyone who'd been away for some time would expect from his/her lover. She has responsabilities, yeah, but if she knew beforehand of the arrival she should have bailed with an excuse.

This is the first legitimate FML I've read in a while... unfortunately, actions mean way more than words. Most are like "some hot guy didn't like me", "someone momentarily treated me like shit but I got over it", or even "I did something really f**king stupid, waaah"... After SIX months the girl can't take ONE game off? It's freaking IMs. If she didn't have a car, that'd be one thing... The entire team would understand if she explained that you were coming back. Hell, they'd probably be like, go spend some "quailty time..." "Anonymous", my friend, take pride in knowing you're doing truly honorable work, and hopefully she'll either realize it and make it up to you, or you'll move on easily :)

Dont even need an excuse, i don't know anyone that would be upset about someone bailing a game to be with a returning soldier...

somehow I don't see a soldier telling his commanding officer that he won't be able to make it overseas going as well as a college student telling her teammates that she can't make the game because she has to go pick up her boyfriend from the airport. I'm sure they would have understood. I dunno about where she goes to school but I know here people stack their teams with extra people knowing that not everyone will be able to make every game.

WOW!!! All i gotta say, is I NEVER wanted to reply to anyones comments while some just make no sense at all. But, #11 you truly are an idiot. It people like him that we remain safe here, and able to sleep at night. If she was any kind of GF she would want to see him. If someone i loved was overseas that would be the first thing Id do knowing he came home safe and ALIVE.

Wow yeah #11 that response is completely rediculous, and you obvioulsy have no clue. And i think that his gf is also rediculous for not seeing him as soon as she got the opportunity, i would be excited and happy to see him as soon as he got home. Some people just dont care, and take ppl for granted.. screw them.
