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

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
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?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

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.

I think it's time you start yelling at him to do the chores.

I hope you did not make him walk all the way to the kitchen to complain.

First off he is pose to help out around the house even if your hands aren't hurt second he is pose to really step up when your hurting sorry but not much of a man

Question is if your hands hurt that much how are you typing this FML...oh I got you

I mean, I agree that he is an ass but your complaining about using your hands but you are goin through the pain to write this. Seems that you would rather go through pain to complain about your hubby than too help your hubby. He's an ass but your not helping the situation.

Did you not read the post at all, idiot? She physically can't do household chores, and even typing on her phone (which hardly involves moving your fingers at all) is painful. What else can she do? Read what you're commenting on before you make yourself look like a fool.

He forgot the "in sickness and in health" part of your vows. Time to remind him (and show him your surgery discharge instructions on limited activity).

yet while in excruciating pain you send an fml instead of any other choice?

I guess that means hand jobs are out of the question. Poor bastard! Yet another thing he's going to have to do for himself. . .
