Today, my husband yelled at me for not doing any household chores. I can barely move my hand without suffering excruciating pain, due to recent surgery to ease my arthritis, and my other hand is as bad as ever. I can barely work this phone, let alone wash dishes and iron clothes. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, after surgery on Monday, I can’t do much because of where my scars are until they heal. My husband won’t clean the house at all, dishes are all over my kitchen bar, laundry is all piled up by the washing machine. When I asked for help, he said it’s not his job. FML
Today, my wife yelled at me for not helping her rearrange the furniture. I have a sprained shoulder and have been ordered by my doctor to avoid heavy lifting. She said, "Move the couch or sleep on it." FML
Today, it doesn’t matter that I had major surgery on my hand 2 days ago and am supposed to be on bed rest with no hand movement for 3 weeks. According to my father and my husband, it doesn’t excuse me from wifely house duties and being the sole caretaker of our one-year-old. FML
Today, I was screamed at for not doing the dishes because I was exhausted. Last year, when my arm was broken, I did all my chores without complaint. I don’t know how to explain to my parents that I’d much, much rather work with a broken arm than while tired. FML
Today, I tried to impress my wife by doing a bunch of push-ups, despite having a bad shoulder. She told me my form sucks and that I'm an idiot. Now I can barely move my arm and I'm going to have to get it fixed. FML
Today, I found out my husband texted his ex-wife, all the while I've had a torn rotator cuff for a year, which I will finally be getting surgery on in three weeks. He twisted his shoulder last week while installing a toilet and suddenly the world is ending, his pain is all encompassing. I also have Lupus since 2017. FML
Today, I have a painful abscess with a bacterial infection near my bum that makes sitting or walking difficult, and a fever too due to it. The doctor gave me sick note and told me to rest, but my husband shouted at me for taking sick off when I "only" WFH. He also expects me to do house chores the whole day. FML
Today, I was chopping veggies for dinner and accidentally sliced through my thumbnail and into my finger. I wrapped it and finished cooking, despite being in considerable pain. My husband patted my shoulder and said sympathetically, "Don’t worry about the dishes babe. You can just do them tomorrow.” FML
Today, my husband was finally moving out. I picked up his enormous duffle bag full of clothes to help get him out faster, and I threw out my back. I now can't move. I can't even wipe my own ass. FML
Today, I woke up with every muscle in my body hurting so bad I could hardly walk. Participation in a triathlon, or overdoing it at the gym? No, the results of a day spent cleaning the house. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

What a douche. If he keeps doing this, I suggest living with a good friend or family for the remainder of the healing time, and sorting it out with him when you can easily argue and throw a good punch.

That's terrible. Partners are supposed to help each other, especially when one is struggling. If he continues this behavior, and talking with him doesn't help, it may be in your best interest to consider moving on.

My mom said if a man assumes a womens place is in the kitchen, he's right that's where the knives are. Though I don't agree with that.logic he needs to get off his ass and help out. Sorry OP your husband is a douche

So, with your minimal dexterity, you chose to whine about your plight instead of doing the chores your husband expects you to do?

It's definitely a better use of her time...

Your hand can't be too bad if you are mucking about with the phone. You are just lazy, you don't even deserve a FML if he blackened your eyes a bit for being so sorry.

Then obviously you need to learn to vacuum and clean with your feet. Obviously.

Does your husband also believe in "wives submitting to husbands" and believes you should be pregnant at all times?

I think you need a weekend retreat from the dear hubs.

He needs to hire a maid. He also needs to support you because your personality is so sparkly!

Or he could act like an adult and do the chores himself. Also, for unknown reasons I find your last sentence to be really funny.
