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.

#11... You're an idiot. Completely ignorant. You can't just put off a deployment. You go when Uncle Sam tells you to, and if you don't... well, he's not happy. Anyway... to the OP, that sucks. Nothing in the world will be able to keep me from being there when my man finally gets stateside. Glad to hear you made it home safe, though. =)

um, wow, there are a LOT of needy people in this world. didn't you just come back from deployment? didn't they teach you to man up? you shouldn't be so clingy and upset that she didn't come because she had something else to do. if she loves you and you love her then you don't need the bullshit ways of showing affection. i don't mean to be harsh at all, but someone has to point out that you're acting like a little kid desperate for her attention as soon as you're back. you can handle it. i promise. do people REALLY think he should leave her because of this? you guys are being idiotic, or at least idiotic in terms of a long term relationship. if she stayed with him while he was gone, that should satisfy every needy guy's appetite.

First off thank you for your service! Secondly, she is not worth your time and effort. I know that if my s/o was coming home from iraq I would do everything in my power to be at that airport. I would want that first hug and first kiss, but hey that is just me. Thirdly, regarding dates and times of flights, there is no guarantee when he would be home until he landed in the states. I know people who have been delayed due to sand storms etc. While softball may be her passion, as your girlfriend she should be there for you!
