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

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
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?

What a mom. It's not like you're going to roll on their floor all day after you rolled in mud outside, bark at them or they have to walk you at least three times a day... I've never heard of anyone who had to make the choice of having a dog or a girlfriend!

You deserved it for thinking you were more important than a pet.

what are you, in kindergarten? His mom made him choose between a girlfriend and a dog? Is his mother mentally unstable? I understand controlling a three-year old's ice cream consumption but a girlfriend??? Either you are way too young to have a relationship (i.e. you are 12) or his mother has lost a few marbles

that is exactly why dogs are called man's best friend... there are so many FMLs saying "oh my god, my boyfriend likes his dog more than me...", just shut up.

I would imagine the mom didn't like the girlfriend and she was bribing her son to end the relationship. And I can't believe no one has said this yet so I have to: "A bitch is a bitch, but a dog is a man's best friend" - Dr. Dre
