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.

#3 if a random soldier i had never met called me from iraq and said can you pick me up from the airport im getting home from service id say yes without a second thought to the person protecting my freedom(unless the hockey game i was playing would impact my hockey career)...and this is her boyfriend, someone she should love and care for and she cant blow off a intramural softball game(most likely free to play also) and spend even an hour or two with you. i dont think shes a good person at all but thats your decision to make. im glad you returned safely

#41 I didn't want my boyfriend to join the military but he did because thats what HE wanted to do. I want to spend the rest of my life with him. Yea this softball game is important to her but I don't think you ever had to wait for someone to get home from a deployment. That is the greatest feeling in the world to see him again for the first time. To hear the words "I landed"....Obviously she does not love him or care for him because no one would do that. Even if they are going to break up I still think its a right thing to do is go pick him up. Than maybe after that they can talk about their relationship. I have friends that broke up with their boyfriends before they left and went to pick them up because its nice to have someone there. I am not brainwashed; I have actually been around my boyfriend leaving alot.

I can understand what kind of pressure she must have been under. When I was in intramurals, my team kicked ass, but we were always short on girls. It only made matters worse that once playoffs started, they'd do them on a different day than usual. Despite going undefeated in regular season, we always got disqualified first round of the playoffs.

and #11, you cant put off a deployment. you get and orders and you go, on the day and at the time ou are ordered, and that is that. and you really cant compare that to putting off a game...which isnt even a responsibility in the sense that military duty is.
