Today, my husband of five years told me he's leaving me and will be gone when I return from Iraq. When I told him I love him and asked him not to go, he said he won't file divorce papers just yet, but he's moving out-of-state because "we need time apart." I've been gone for most of the year. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I got back from an 8-month deployment ready for relaxation and lots of sex with my husband. He said he’s come to realise he likes living alone, didn’t miss me much, and hasn’t been looking forward to me coming home. He gave me divorce papers and kicked me out to go sleep in a hotel. FML
Today, it's been one year since my husband moved six states away for his job. The plan was for me to stay behind until I found a job, but I still haven't in all this time. I can just feel the distance growing between us. FML
Today, my husband told me he no longer loves me and is moving out. It's also our 13th wedding anniversary. FML
Today, I went to spend some time with my family. Unbeknownst to me, while I was having quality time with my family, my boyfriend of a year and a half was packing up his belongings and going back to his estranged wife. FML
Today, my husband of 12 years announced that he wants a divorce and that he hadn't liked me in YEARS. FML
Today, I came home from a one-year Army deployment, only for my wife to tell me she feels claustrophobic with me in the bed. She then asked for a divorce. FML
Today, my girlfriend of six months dumped me over the phone. I'm in the military and recently had to move away to another fort. We'd agreed that we would try to make long distance work. I'd even offered to buy a plane ticket to come see her each weekend. I've been gone less than two weeks. FML
Today, my five year-old had to break the news to me that my husband was leaving me for someone else. FML
Today, I learned that my husband is getting deployed for we don’t know how long, and I’ll be left all alone, in a different country far away from home. FML
Today, I told my boyfriend of three years that I wanted to get married and have a child within the next five years. He responded by packing up my things and showing me the door. FML

You need to hurry up and divorce him ASAP - you can't fix douchebag, and if you convince him not to leave you now, he'll probably just wind up hanging around for a few for more years before he really does leave you, except by then you'll have been married long enough for him to be entitled to a percentage of your retirement that you're earning in Iraq right now.

Thank you for your service. And to the assholes who say YDI for being a soldier: clearly you are jealous of her for having more balls than you. So STFU, and GTFO. Go read dailykos or something. Quit bashing on those who actually love their country. p.s: desertion will land you in jail

he doesn't want to divorce you until after you get back because he wants to collect on death benefits incase you don't come back alive... divorce his cheating sorry ass and tell him to go to hell... On the flip side, hes a sneaky asshole (smart in an evil sorta way) for moving out of state immediately before you leave to make it harder for you to divorce him... hmm...

it's not like she had a CHOICE where she deployed, she has to follow her orders. & to not do so, is against the law and she could go to jail. the people saying YDI obviously have NOT grown up military, because you don't ******* KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT. while some branches do give you the choice to depoly or not, you don't get to choose your specific location. it's not like the military will say, "allright, you can either go to iraq or afghanistan. your choice." get over your hatred towards the military for DOING THEIR ORDERS.

Everyone that's bitching about what she does needs to shut the hell up. We don't get to just call it quits if our job doesn't work the way we want it too. If we get called away we go no if's ands, or buts about it. We can't say no, we can't call in sick, and we can't just run off. How dare you call her a baby killer? You don't even know if she's ever even fired her gun. I've been in the military for a good while now and I've not yet run across a single person that's fired their gun at anything else but a target before even deploying. We also can't put in requests for where we wish to deploy either. She had no choice and I'm glad she didn't desert her friends or her country. I'm sorry for what that dick did to you, you didn't deserve it and you'll find someone better. Like everyone else says, leave him and take your stuff back before he gets the chance to take everything you have. He's probably going to try to suck your cash away as much as possible... So yeah. Take him off everything, including DEERS.

As much as I don't agree with the whole war thing in Iraq etc, for you and those like you it's merely a job, and you definitely don't deserve to be dumped this way because you're doing your job. FYL and you can prolly find a better guy.

She is helping kill terrorists so mouthy sons-of-bitches (yes, YOUR mother is a bitch for birthing an ignorant dumb ****) are FREE to surf pedo sites all day and post to fmylife all night,

You're a dumbfuck. 68 merely said they don't agree with the war, which is OKAY. In fact, it's probably a good thing. If everybody thought war was good, we'd be in some DEEP shit by now. So shut up.
