Today, I got a sweet promotion at my job. Instead of being happy and celebrating with me, my boyfriend broke up with me because he is jealous that I'm more successful than he is. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, my now ex-boyfriend begged me not to take an amazing promotion at my job. He reasoned that he’d be emasculated and humiliated if he had a girlfriend that outranked and out-earned him. I had to celebrate alone as my whole family lives in another state. Congrats to me but also, FML
Today, my boyfriend broke up with me, right after I turned down an amazing job opportunity in another location, just so I could be with him. FML
Today, my boyfriend was fired. After breaking the news, he also broke up with me. Apparently, his boss had a creepy crush on me and would give my boyfriend bonuses for bringing me to company events and, occasionally, out on the boss's personal boat. Looks like I am no longer useful. FML
Today, I found out my boyfriend cheated on me with his boss so he could get a promotion and "provide" for us. This from the guy who made me quit my job because he said he made enough money to support us both. FML
Today, after I helped get my boyfriend get a new job, he thanked me by dumping me for some whore who works there. FML
Today, my boss got a promotion and I got laid off. FML
Today, my boyfriend's proposal speech somehow ended with him breaking up with me. FML
Today, my girlfriend who trained me at the job we both work at received a promotion, which left a spot for advancement. I was chosen for the position, and now the guy she's been cheating on me with is training me. Congrats. FML
Today, my girlfriend broke up with me because she believes I "jinxed" her chances of getting the job she wanted. FML
Today, I received a mass email from my boss saying we had a position open at the daycare I work at. I knew my boyfriend was looking for a job so I insisted he apply. Later at work, my boss takes me into her office and tells me my employment is being "terminated". My boyfriend is replacing me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Eh you're probably better off without him then. And now you don't have to share your new financial gain with anyone !

Since you probably earned a raise, use it to torment him. Step 1- Purchase lingerie, and high heels to match. Skimpy and slutty will work best. Step 2- Purchase a long trenchcoat. Step 3- Show up at his doorstep and flash him the goods Step 4- Say the following in a nonchalant manner: "Just wanted to stop by and show you how well my promotion is treating me. The extra money has been great!" Step 5 (optional): Smack him in the head for being such an idiot. Good luck, OP. ;)

You have commented this FML about 4 times now. You must be some she-ra feminist who gets off on stories like this. You suck, go male-bash somewhere else.

96- Since you didn't specify I am going to assume you're talking to me. If that's the case, I'm unsure how you jumped to that conclusion. Both of my actual comments have been playful/sarcastic, and I'm fairly sure my replies to other people have been as well.

Wow you had a very insecure boyfriend. :/

It's his loss. You don't need someone like that In your life. He'll only slow u down. U need someone who can challenge you and help you move forward and celebrate your success with you.

You got a major promotion and got rid of an idiot boyfriend who is so insecure that he can't handle a relationship with a successful woman. That sounds like a double win and not an FML.

First, congratulations on the promotion!! It's wonderful when hard work pays off. I'm very sorry your boyfriend is so terribly insecure that he found it a better idea to bail than realize how awesome you are and celebrate with you. It stings now, I'm sure, but see this as a new beginning in more ways than one: a new position, a new pay rate *hopefully* and when the time is right, a new MAN!! Someone who will see you as a successful, driven woman and will RESPECT you for that!

That's a sign that you need a better boyfriend. Maybe someone a bit more mature.
