Today, it was my girlfriend's birthday. To surprise her, I told her that I was going away on business, and could not be there on her birthday. When I show up at her house to surprise her with a present and cake, she opens the door in her underwear, beside a man in his boxers. She was surprised. FML

Today, my girlfriend texted me, telling me to come home quickly, because she had a "surprise" waiting for me. I convinced my boss to let me go home, and rushed out. Turns out the "surprise" was just that she'd bought herself a pet bunny. FML

Today, I decided to surprise my girlfriend by cooking her dinner. I spent hours preparing and making sure everything was perfect. I lit candles, set the table, and even put on some soft music. When she came home, she'd already eaten and wasn't hungry. FML

It's probably better then coming home to nothing and finding out through text. Things don't always work out but that's what shapes us as people, bad luck op but I hope you come out stronger.

since nobody knows the history of their relationship nobody can really say if he deserved it or not. maybe he was an asshole and she was scared to do it when he was home. or maybe she was just a cold hearted bitch.

Sorry OP. At least you found out in person, better than just finding a note?

Hopefully everything works out! How rude of her to just up and leave without telling you tho.

This is one of the fml's that illustrate the need for a "not enough information to vote" button... Or maybe, a "the potential lead up to this fml may render this post redundant". Not saying this isn't legit but seriously.
