Today, I responded to an argument with my girlfriend by only using comebacks she'd used in previous arguments. I'm single now. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, my girlfriend started a conversation with "I don't want to break up" and ended the conversation with "I think I'd be better off alone." So I guess I'm now single. I think. FML
Today, I realized that I frequently argue with myself and respond back. FML
Today, my girlfriend and I had an argument. She admitted she didn't know why she was pissed at me, but still is, and now she won't talk to me. FML
Today, I had an argument with my wife. I told her to get back in the kitchen. How does she respond? By doing what I told her to do, and returning to hit me with a frying pan. FML
Today, I was shopping with my girlfriend, when a girl came out of nowhere, screaming at me for cheating on her, and saying she was dumping me. I've never seen her before, and she was almost grinning during her little act, but my girlfriend believed it, and I'm now single. FML
Today, I got into a minor argument with my fiancé. Deciding it wasn't worth fighting over, I shrugged and said, "Really, what are we even doing this for?" To which he replied, "Honestly, I don't know. I haven't loved you in years… Oh, you meant about the fight." And just like that, I'm now single. FML
Today, I got in an argument with an ex-girlfriend who kept tactlessly bragging to me about her new boyfriend. I told her to read what she'd sent me, then pretend her boyfriend was telling her that. Fifteen minutes later, her boyfriend calls me, yelling for making her feel sad. FML
Today, I wanted to text my girlfriend but lately we'd been at a loss for things to talk about. I thought, "Come on, she's your girlfriend, what's the worst that could happen." One hour and twenty two minutes later, I was single. FML
Today, I asked my girlfriend if she had ever broken up with anyone. She said, "Yes. You." and walked off. FML
Today, I was having an argument with my girlfriend in front of our friends. I didn't want her to spoil my good time, so I ignored her until she disappeared. She re-appeared thirty minutes later just to throw a punch that would make Muhammad Ali jealous. Our friends' reaction? They clapped. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

why is it that if someone chooses to not argue like a child they are being a pushover? Repeating what someone regardless of the gender during an argument to "prove a point" is immature. an argument is NOT the correct time to point out something that irritates you about the other person. talk it out like damn adults.

You can't fix a current argument by dragging up a past argument. Regardless of what point he was trying to prove the OP was an idiot in this case. I'm sorry but he was. If he has a problem with the way she argues then he should talk to her about that when they are calmer and in a more reasonable mind set. He should not wait until the next time that they are both worked up and upset then start doing the things that she does that annoy him just so that he can essentially go "THERE HOW DO YOU LIKE IT!". That's not going to solve anything. If it pissed him off why wouldn't it piss her off? If he knows it pisses him off why would he expect it to make the current argument any better. Plus there is a good chance that all those comebacks that he gets annoyed with her using have been used by himself at one point or another in different arguments already and he just doesn't realize it because he was the one doing it. The worst thing with argument is that when they get heated you can start saying or doing stupid shit and not really realize it without someone pointing it out. That's why the proper thing to do would be to wait until calmer heads have prevailed and then talk about it not wait until anger flares again.

Plus you don't know that she was trying to be a bitch to him. For all you know the OP was the one being the bitch this time and his "using comebacks against her" was actually just his equivalent of covering his ears and yelling LALALALALALA while she was trying to have a valid discussion with him.

Giving a taste of their own medicine backfired... But it's a rule that your girlfriend always wins...

"Backfired?" I'd say it's a win for OP.

that's what you get for trying to be a gender bender

I don't understand why after knowing that what she said angered/antagonised/upset you, you would then do the exact same thing and not expect a response. Bringing up the past is never a good idea when arguing it just stops anything being accomplished. Still I'm sorry about your relationship, better luck in the future.

Yeah it could have angered him, but he didn't break up with her when she did it to him. She over reacted big time

I can't imagine how you felt when she told you those things, must have been pretty bad.

No one, no one at all, likes having the mirror turned on them. I'd say YDI but I think you benefitted from cutting loose an immature twat.

You should know by now that most women are unreasonable and immature. You literally can't win. Thank you feminism. Oh, and if you give this downvotes, you are probably one of those people.

@57 Your comment is very manipulative. It basically says that if I disagree with you, then I'm probably an unreasonable and immature person. That's not a reasonable and mature response.

Just goes to show you that with some women it's a one way street. Don't worry OP you'll find someone better hopefully!
