Today, my girlfriend of three years broke up with me because I'm in the military and I'm gone too much. The reason I enlisted in the first place is because we agreed that the money and benefits I would earn would help us be able to start a family in the future. 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'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

More money, more problems

Today, my girlfriend of several years broke up with me because of my lack of ability to contribute financially to the life that she envisioned for herself, due to my significant contributions in child support to my ex. She wants a more equal partner. FML

Today, my fiancée broke up with me because I "don't know what I'm doing with my future". I've done four years in the Marines and am in the process of becoming an officer. She has a film degree which she has no interest in, works at the mall, and just moved back in with her dad. FML

Today, I broke up with my girlfriend, because her military father, who doesn't like me, continuously threatened my safety for dating her. Now he's threatening to kill me for dumping her. I can't win. FML

Daddy's girl

Today, my girlfriend of 3 years broke up with me, a month after I'd proposed and she'd said yes. When asked why all of the sudden, she said her family disapproved of me, and I wasn't worth fighting for and potentially losing her father's love. FML

Girls who do this are weak. And I love my army man and i have been waiting here already for a year for him and he's going to afganastan. I'm going to keep waiting because I actually LOVE him. If you can't handle this kind of thing then either you do not love your boyfriend as much as you thought or you are a weak and lonely person. And people cheat alot in the army because they can't handle it. that's it. They're relationship isn't strong enough. but there are people who make it so i dont want all military guys or women to loose hope. I'm going to live in Germany with my Love next year. Honestly I made an account to comment this because i think that some people think they know everything and they dont even go through it, and it is really pathetic. Sex isn't everything. Sex doesn't make a relationship. Love does. So you can be a selfish sk*nk b**ch, but you will not deserve anyones respect.

my husband did kinda the same thing except he really liked the job and the benefits and stuff was a plus , but I'm sorry, it happens and if you were mean then don't be mean if she was the one who was messing up then your gonna be better off without someone who can work with your lifestyle and everything
