Today, I met the girl who dumped me because the distance between us was too great. We're in the same city again. She's now dating a Marine in Iraq. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I was dumped by my girlfriend due to our long distance relationship. She then agreed to date my best friend who lives in the same town as me. FML
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
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, I met my long distance girlfriend after two years of being separated by 900 miles. She brought her short distance boyfriend to the meeting. FML
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
Today, I broke up with my girlfriend, because her military father, who doesn't like me, continuously threatened my safety for dating her. Now he's threatening to kill me for dumping her. I can't win. FML
Today, I ran into a guy I knew from 3 years ago. He just moved here from out of state and is planning to stay forever. This is the same guy who dated me long distance and dumped me after a while because he “couldn’t handle long distance.” He just got engaged to a girl who lives here. 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
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

Uhh, that is definitely NOT what it translates into. My boyfriend is a Marine and I have never nor will I ever cheat on him. Just because ***** give us a bad name doesn't mean we all cheat on our soldiers.

Did anyone else catch that he said he "just met" this girl??? Obviously, he met this chic on the internet or something. Which means... it's not really a "real" relationship- never was, never will be.

Ok first off no one said the girl was cheating on her new guy. Secondly she clearly didn't have the feelings for you that she has for him. It doesn't make her a bad person it just means that she likes him more for some reason.

It doesn't say that the girl cheated on the OP. Honestly, it's likely you just weren't the one for her and either she tried to let you down gently or truly didn't feel a long-distance relationship worth it until she met her Marine. In any case, I don't think the ex-gf was being a bitch and this isn't so much an FMyLife as it is just life.

Everyone needs to Google how many Marines are NOW in Iraq. Zero. All are in Afghanistan now. BLT 3/3 was the last Marine unit in Iraq. 100% fake.

When I moved from Texas to Colorado, my ex did that same thing. He lived in Texas still and broke up with me because he "couldn't do it". A few days later, he's hitting on, and trying to be with, a girl from Canada :|

Well, at least he's doing something for the country and risking his life on a day to day basis so you can be upset about your girlfriend instead of being told who you can date/marry so suck it up and move on with your life

It wasent meant to be you will find someone better no matter the distance. Love is a bond that is not easily broken.
