Love: Today, I was given the best news of my life. I am cancer free...

By rockstarohyeah - 02/07/2009 06:18 - United States

Today, I was given the best news of my life. I am cancer free and am not, at the ripe age of 23 going to bite the dust. My husband left his journal on the nightstand in our bedroom. He wrote, "I feel like a bad person, but if she dies, I don't have to get divorced." FML

Get me away from here, I'm dying

Today, my wife filed for divorce. Last month, she was diagnosed with stage 4, terminal, inoperable cancer. We got a second (confirmed) opinion. She has maybe six months left. She told me she doesn't want to spend her last remaining days on this earth with me. Our 33rd anniversary was in May. FML

Today, I found out that the giant tumour on my leg isn’t cancerous or dangerous. My mom cried, and I was super relieved. Later on, I heard her on the phone in tears because now she won’t be able to get a free vacation or home renovations from the Make A Wish foundation. FML

Today, I found out my husband has been flirting with and dating behind my back the nurse who treats my cancer. He admitted that he needs someone healthy and not someone who’s “gonna be sick all the time.” He also attempted to justify it by saying, “You’re gonna die anyway and then what am I gonna do?” FML

Today, I divorced my husband of 20 years. The only positive thing about my day was my pregnancy test. Yes, it was his. FML

Thanks for the miracle

Today, after being diagnosed with breast cancer, enduring months of tortuous chemo, having painful radiation treatments and having had my tubes tied, I realized I’ve become the butt of an incredibly cruel cosmic joke. I got pregnant from the one-night stand I had to celebrate beating cancer. FML

The old switcheroo

By Anonymous - 21/07/2023 06:00

Today, my fiance's divorce was finalized and we went out to dinner to celebrate. I stepped away to use the bathroom, then came back to a note on the table saying, "I'm going to enjoy single life, thanks!" He left me with the bill. FML

Today, I got some news from two colleagues, one of whom just got married for the first time, and the other whose long-time wife was recently diagnosed with an advanced form of cancer. I wrote each of them a heartfelt note, which would've been thoughtful if I hadn't mixed up the recipients. FML

Today, my boyfriend broke up with me, saying he had to move away to be with his dad, who's just been diagnosed with cancer. After talking to his sister, I discovered that not only is his dad healthy, he's not moving away either; he's just gotten back with his ex. FML

Today, after three days of hospital camping with my very sick husband, he was finally out of danger when I left last night to get my first good night's sleep in almost 96 hours. He woke me at 5 a.m. with a phone call asking me to bring him comic books because he's bored. FML

The OP never said she was a good person, and anyway It doesn't sound like hse's actually a bitch or anything, otherwise the husband probably wouldn't feel so bad about basically saying he hopes she dies. Maybe he's just not in love with her anymore.

i completely aggree! look at the bright side, you just saw how he really thinks of you, and you've beat cancer. there are many years ahead of you, my suggestion is, just dump him and start a new life. you'll find someone who truly deserves you.

well first of all congrats on being cancer free. As far as your man goes though, you obviously dont need him. There are plenty of people out there who would respect you and there is also plenty of time to find that man. Just drop this one first. :)

23 is way too early to be married. Be glad you get a do-over.

Congrats on not dying at the age of 23. You still have a long future ahead of you so don't worry about that jackass husband of yours.

congrats on the good news about the cancer! you'll hopefully live a long, healthy life without that douchebag. maybe if you hadn't gotten cancer this wouldn't have happened, because dealing with serious illness can be serious turmoil on a relationship. BUT that is NO excuse for him forgetting his vows of "for better OR for worse"!! Go find yourself someone better!

Confront him. You cannot pretend you didn't read it, and maybe there is an explanation. May not be a good one, but still... Cancer is not only heavy on the patient herself but on her husband too, maybe it was just too much for him, and possibly he'll find your newfound long-life-ahead happyness so infectuous that the two of you start a 'new' life together. And congrats on not having cancer anymore!!!
