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

Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, my girlfriend dumped me because her dog "told her to". FML
Today, my girlfriend came over to talk. She just got back from a small vacation, and she'd asked me to feed her dogs while she was gone, so I did. I even stayed with them at times so they wouldn't get lonely. My girlfriend had come over to break up with me. She didn't do so earlier because she needed her dogs fed. FML
Today, my girlfriend canceled our date I've been looking forward to all week because her dog was having puppies. She doesn't have a dog. FML
Today, my girlfriend whom I'm crazy about broke up with me out of the blue. After pleading with her unsuccessfully, I called my mom for comfort and advice. She informed me that my dog had died. FML
Today, my fiancé and I broke up, and he won't answer my calls or texts. I don't want him back; he has my dog. FML
Today, it's been 3 weeks since my girlfriend of 5 years stopped answering any calls or texts. I sent her a long email for closure (for me) only to get a response that she's on vacation. I had no idea she was going away and I don't know what I did. Time to get another dog and be done with "love" for good. FML
Today, I texted my girlfriend to tell her that we couldn't hang out because my dog died this morning and we were burying him. She replied that she wasn't going to get stood up by a stupid dog. She then broke up with me. FML
Today, I went to pick up my dog from a friend's place since she agreed to watch him while I went out of state for Spring Break. I arrived at her apartment. She’s gone and the apartment was vacated. She won’t answer her phone or texts, and vanished from all social media. I’m still making payments on the dog. 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 wife of seven years told me that she doesn't trust me with dog-sitting her dog while she leaves to spend Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's with her family. She ended up calling someone she "trusts" to take care of her dog while I spend the holidays by myself. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Just take it to one of her closest relatives and tell them they'll have to take care of it until she's back because you're leaving.

For all of you telling OP to take the dog, please go punch yourselves in the face. Do the world a favor. It's not fair what the girlfriend did, but that IS NO REASON to steal another person's property. You are NOT justified in committing a crime (especially when it means stealing a LIVING CREATURE from its home) just because you're angry about your girlfriend breaking up with you. If you do steal the dog, then you deserve the jail time that you'll hopefully get. OP is an adult and he should act like one. If you take the dog, then you're being just as petty, spiteful, and immature as she is. Also, I don't know where you guys are getting the idea that it's unsafe to give the dog to a kennel. You do realize that the kennel will care for the dog until its owners return from vacation, right? He's not putting the dog up for adoption. He's simply moving it to a new environment for the remainder of the vacation. When the girlfriend returns from her vacation, she will be able to pick up her dog from the kennel. Grow up. OP should take the dog to a reliable kennel or continue caring for it or give it to one of the girlfriend's family members. Taking the dog is immature. Just because your girlfriend was a dick doesn't mean that it's okay for YOU to be a dick. One guy said that you're "spiteful and cruel" if you bring the dog to a shelter. As far as I'm concerned, you're spiteful and cruel if you try to steal the dog from your girlfriend. Yeah, she was a jerk, but that doesn't justify you stealing her dog. Sometimes I think everyone on this website is fourteen years old.

Breaking up with someone over the phone and leaving them your dog is immature in two ways. 1. She didn't do it face to face. I have been broken up with over technology way too many times, it's immature and childish 2. She is assuming that he will take care of the dog. You know what? If OP was a douche, or even just a person who has been really hurt, she is being very nieve. After she treated OP like shit. She is either using OP or is that nieve.

Depending on the kennel, they will take the dog until she gets back. They may make her pay when she picks up. Some do not, but others do. I would look around. If not, tell your ex that she has to find another person to care for her animal since it is not your responsibility and you have no obligation. Then I would fill the bathtub with cold water, and leave a lot of food out. Unfortunately, they may have to use the bathroom in her place. That is worse case scenario if no one will care for the dog. She is a low life. This is a way to get back at her without hurting the poor dog who is innocent in this.

Have them pay the kennel when they pick the dog up in two weeks.

U deserved it for dating a girl that is like that... but you can either keep the dog, or take it back to her house, give it a shitload of food and water (enough for the rest of ur ex's vacation, and just hope it tears up her house... don't waste a penny putting it up in a kennel

Please don't surrender the dog to the animal pound or just leave it to starve your partner is at fault please don't harm. Any dog or cat surrendered to a shelter can be given to a new owner or humanely euthanized within a set period of time. I would suggest locating a reputable kennel.

Sell the dog or give it up for adoption!

That is bad, OP, but it's not the dog's fault; don't take it out on him/her.

I think you should tell her that her choices are to: Find someone else to care for the dog by the end of 48 hours, or you will take the dog to the no kill shelter.
