The single life

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

Same thing different taste

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 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

You're in the army now

By Crud - 06/02/2010 05:09 - United States

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, my girlfriend of almost a year, and to whom I intended to propose on Thanksgiving, dumped me because her husband will be returning from Iraq soon. And he wants to have a "talk" with me. I didn't know she was married. FML

Holiday blues

Today, my girlfriend and I went on vacation. We flew 2000 miles, got off the plane, got our bags and stood outside the airport for our ride. She looks at me and says, "I can't do this anymore." So, she broke up with me and flew back home. Now I'm on vacation alone. FML

Today, my girlfriend told me she'd support my decision to stay in, or get out of the military, so I renewed my contract...... She broke up with me for it. FML

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

Translation: "I want to get plowed by someone local." Or, "I'm already getting plowed by someone local." I'm not sure of the verb tense.

At the least, she was giving you a version of the “It’s not you, it’s me.” She has her own reasons for the breakup, and this is her way of trying to make you feel like it’s not your fault. I’m sorry - It sucks to be broken up regardless of if you are there or on the opposite side of the globe. But thank you for your service.

Uh, no. Translation: I want to be alone to better myself. Why does everyone assume that people ALWAYS mean something different than what they say?

She was already "alone" while he was deployed, and there is a pretty high chance that she is ******* at least one of his friends while he's away. It would only be about the 80 billionth time a girl has done something like this to a guy in the military who was away. Maybe she's being genuine, but I sincerely doubt it.
