Today, I flew to Mexico with my (now ex) boyfriend of two years. It was my first time flying, and apparently I have a fear. I had a panic attack on the plane. When we landed, I got dumped for "causing a scene." I am now stranded in Mexico alone for two weeks with no hotel room booked. FML

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, I flew cross-country to see my girlfriend of three years. Once I got there, she broke up with me. I was supposed to be staying for a month and now I have nowhere to go. FML
Today, I left for vacation in Mexico. Upon landing, I received a text message from the guy I've been seeing. It read, "Sorry, I'm not boyfriend material. Have a good trip." I paid 75 cents to get dumped, internationally. FML
Today, after being terrified for years, I went on a plane for the first time. It was also the first time I "emergency landed." FML
Today, my boyfriend broke up with me because I was "angry" at him. I was angry because last night he turned off his phone and left me locked out of the Airbnb that I had paid for. Until 3 am. In a foreign country. FML
Today, I left on my honeymoon with my wife who is terrified of flying. The pilot announced incoming storms in the flight path, and the man next to me starts saying it's "probably fate" and "we all have to go sometime." My wife went into a full panic attack. We hadn't even left the ground yet. FML
Today, I had to suffer through a four hour flight beside my ex. Yesterday, I proposed, on the last day of our vacation. She said no. FML
Today, I booked a flight to see my girlfriend. At least I thought she was coming, the flight isn't cancellable because I was broke and could only afford the minimum ticket. I just wanted to make her happy. Well, it's now four days before the flight and I haven't heard from her for a week. I've been left on 'delivered', thinking at 4 am. FML
Today, I got home from visiting my long-distance girlfriend. I spent $366 to get a plane ticket to visit her for the week. The day after I arrived there, she broke up with me and I had to buy a ticket for an earlier flight home. With fees and penalties, I paid around $550 to be broken up with. FML
Today, the small plane I was on almost crashed, all because the pilot's girlfriend figured out mid-flight that he's been cheating on her, causing her to start screaming abuse and furiously beating him. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Luckily he found out you were a drama queen before he married you. Why should he continue to date you after he found out you are not worth marrying? Obviously he thinks he can get better easily enough. Why would you freak out and make a scene in the first place, let alone expect him to put up with behaviour that is unacceptable coming from a child -- simply because it is his (presumably) adult date freaking out?

Panic attacks do not equal to "behaviour that is unacceptable coming from a child" o.O If she's never flown before then how in the world was she supposed to know that it scares the crap out of her?

I would not accept that behaviour from a child, regardless of if they have flown before or not. You are flying. Big deal. Nothing to act immature and embarrass the poor guy over. Sit down, shut up, and act like an adult.

Again, it's a PANIC ATTACK. People generally can not help their panic attacks. She has a phobia of flying. She was not acting immature. The only way to fix a phobia is to continually face the fear. Unfortunately for OP, she has never realized she had the fear, so /involuntarily/ freaked out on her first time. Of course... not always will it work. OP may be cursed forever with her irrational fear.

ozymandias - I hope you don't have kids...or a wife...or friends even. You sure don't deserve them

you do realize panic attacks cannot be helped. the only way it can be your fault is if you knowingly do something that causes you to have a panic attack. OP has never flown before, therefore they wouldn't know of the fear. before you go blaming OP for having a panic attack at least learn about what panic attacks are.

Why are you with someone like that in the first place? 2 years and you didn't figure out he was a douche? YDI. Have fun in Mexico.
awesomeamandas 37
not every douche bag acts like a douche bag all the time. my mom's ex husband was the nicest when they were dating then after marriage his douchey side came out. people can and do (not everyone but a lot) hide their true selves from people, even their SO

Omg the comments about this being fake because the location of the poster is set to Canada. What a bunch of idiots, it should be illegal for people like you to use a computer.

YDI for going to Meixco and supporting the economy of a horrendously corrupt government that enables rampant crime!
