who communicates via email these days?

Today, my girlfriend called me, I was excited since I had just moved away and she want answering all my e-mails, she called to break up with me because I 'Failed to communicate' with her, FML

i think you meant; Too many negative votes, comment buried. Click to read the comment.

no she shouldent talk to him. she deserves it for breaking up with him. She dident communicate the fact that she hasent been getting emails from his (ask whats up). She is a hypocrite.

On the other hand, there's this wonderful new invention called the telephone. Even assuming that OP or her ex are among the few people left without facebook/myspace/twitter, etc, they should been communicating through phone. if you aren't getting emails, unless you were expecting them, how would you know to say you aren't getting them? I can't figure out if its an FML or YDI. It has a bit of both. Technology isn't infallible, OP. Either check your old account now and again or give people the new one.

Why wouldn't she even tell him she had a new account though? Why wouldn't she tell anyone? (Assuming she thought "Oh! I'll just put down my old one and they'll all forward automatically so it doesn't matter!") That's what makes it a YDI.

Totally agree. Why wouldn't you think to check it? You are so dumb.

these "reverse FMLs" are really starting to get on my nuts

This time the reverse FML is not funny at all. It's tragically sad, actually. Some of them can be quite funny -- ones from an inanimate object's point of view come to mind.

Boo! The op deserves it... I hate whiny fmls especially when its the ops fault... I miss the oldschool fmls... good job fml staff for making this a bitchy site,and for the moderators too

"What we've got here is a failure to communicate."

Agreed. YDI OP, I hope your ex has a much more caring and understanding partner. Whiney assholes everywhere.
