Love: Today, my girlfriend dumped me and left me with the responsibility...

Today, my girlfriend dumped me and left me with the responsibility of the turtle that I never wanted but she insisted we buy "together." A little bit of research has revealed that Andre will live for "at least 30 years." FML

Today, I bought a turtle after wanting one for years. I was told that he was scared, so he would be put in a box for me to take home. It wasn't until I got to my car that I noticed that they sold me a dead turtle. I'm not getting a refund because they claimed I killed it in less than 5 minutes. FML

Today, I just came back from the vet. I spent a lot of money on a pet tortoise at the local pet store and it didn't come out of its shell when I bought it. The owner just said it sleeps in the day and it'll be shy for a week or so. Turns out it was dead. 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 of 3 months broke up with me via text and said she was keeping the cat. I've had the cat since for seven years since she was a kitten. FML

Today, I had to convince my 20-year-old boyfriend that not only is his aquatic turtle a reptile, but that it's also cold-blooded and thus can't regulate its own temperature just by going into its shell. He still thinks I'm the stupid one. FML

Today, I came home to find my girlfriend crying. Concerned, I quickly asked her what was wrong. She told me tearfully that she couldn't understand why her pet lizards hadn’t grown into dinosaurs yet, and that pet store had cheated her. I’m still concerned now, but for entirely different reasons. FML

Haha! Well. It's still a living animal, so please please please do not do anything cruel to it. Bring it to a local animal shelter or pet store and explain your situation, I'm sure you'll get some help.

Heres an Idea: --> Cook the turtle and invite your ex over for a friendly dinner. Serve it to her and tell her about it AFTER she's eaten it. If she tries calling some animal protection service, throw away your cage and deny ever owning a turtle.

This would be a fantastic idea. But killing the turtle is not. Give the turtle to someone you don't know and won't ever meet again. Just cook some other meat and invite her to dinner and tell her that it was the turtle that she gifted. Keep the bill of meat purchase if some animal rights protection activists show up.

This is a fantastic idea. You should take a video of you cooking the turtle, then after dinner show her the video. After the video, ask her if she wants dessert.

If you don't want the turtle, please find a good home for it where it will not be released into the wild because the little fella probably wouldn't survive. :-(. It is more of a FML for the turtle. So I was adopted by what I thought would be a loving family... My "mom" left my "dad" and now it turns out that he never wanted me to begin with. FML!
