Today, my boyfriend of six months called me. He said his mom was making him choose between having a dog or having a girlfriend. I asked him which one he picked. He went quiet, and I heard barking in the background. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I gave my boyfriend a choice between me and the super creepy, codependent, almost Norman Bates relationship he has with his mother. Guess which he chose. FML
Today, my boyfriend apparently lied to me when he'd said we could get a dog one day. I bought a puppy for him in secret but as soon as he saw it he was all, "What the hell is that? We’re not keeping it." It’s now with his parents, as he didn’t want it overnight or even in the house. FML
Today, I asked my wife who she would choose, me or the dog. She chose the dog. No hesitation. FML
Today, I called my boyfriend just to hear his voice since I haven't seen him in a while. His mom picked up and said "Chris isn't here right now, he's with his girlfriend. Do you want to leave him a message." We've been dating for 4 and a half months now. FML
Today, my girlfriend broke up with me over the phone, after having left me to look after her dog while she went on a 2-week vacation with her family. Now I have to choose between paying for a kennel for her damn dog or taking care of it every day until she gets back. FML
Today, my boyfriend of 3 years called my house even though I was with him at the time. He needed to talk to my mom. He asked her to break up with me for him. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I broke up. He now argues that he should keep the dog. We only dated for three months, and I've had the dog since I was ten. FML
Today, my girlfriend broke up with me because her mom said she would buy her a pug if she did. I got dumped for a dog, and an ugly one for that matter. FML
Today, my girlfriend dumped me because her dog "told her to". FML
Today, my boyfriend of 6 months broke up with me. I was crying for over an hour in my room. My dad came in and asked what was wrong. Just as I was about to tell him, he stops me and simply says, "Oh, honey. I don't care… Just keep the noise down." Then walks out. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I think a more interesting question here is 'what did the OP do to piss the mum off enough for her to make a 15year commitment in order to get rid of the OP?'. Or indeed why the mum is such an over-protective bitch... F both your L's. I know it probably sucks being replaced by a dog but I'm pretty sure that the majority of people who have had a dog would have probably made the same decision, I know I would.

If your boyfriend is so easily manipulated by his mom, then you're better off without him.

this is either fake or the OP is young

This was probably an excuse. I bet he wanted to dump you, but wasn't sure how to tell you, so he decided to go with this.

Well she must have know that it wasn't a serious relationship if she asked which one he picked. I mean what kind of question is that "which one did you pick" that's ridiculous.

So you're saying you'd rather he abandoned his helpless dog.
LemonStarship 5
Im not sure who you're responding to but it never says the dog was helpless. For all we know he could have gone out and picked up the dog today after he made his choice to have a dog.

What kind of a mother is that?! And yes, I don't think you're over 16, are you?
