Today, my yearly bonus finally hit my bank account while I was busy at work. Hurrah! Unfortunately, I'm married, so by the time I got a second of free time to check my phone, my email was full of my wife's online shopping receipts, including a non-refundable cruise. I wish we could save money… FML

Today, after my wife just cashed in $160,000 in stock options, my Christmas present was two pairs of socks she bought with REI credit. I suppose it’s better than last year’s spatula. FML

What?
Today, my coworker got a raise by making our boss give me a pay cut for doing his job while he was slacking off. As we were heading home for the day, he found $100. FML

Today, I got a 15% pay raise. My parents responded by saying, “Congratulations! You can now forget about online shopping packages coming in on a weekly basis and start chipping in for rent and utilities!” FML

How can I make this about me?
Today, it's my birthday. My wife took me to my favorite restaurant for dinner. She made me pay for my birthday dinner, along with hers. She also got me a gift card to HER favorite store. FML

Well you can use your backpack on the fantastic holidays you will be able to afford now :) I don't see how this is an FML to be honest. You're married, shouldn't you share your incomes? I make more money than my husband and also get generous commissions. I consider that our money, not mine or his.

I hope you're happy for her though!

I also hope he's happy for her vs jealous. Even in today's world, there are still plenty of husbands that get treated if their wife makes more money than they do. (If this is the case)

Come on people who doesn't know how a marriage works. He is emasculated, shouldn't be but is. Plus what's her's is her's and what his is her's lol. Just be grateful you have a job and happy your wife can take you out for a nice dinner :)

It's a marriage not a competition. Even if you got 10,000 that does not shine a light on 150,000. Be proud of her and her hard work. If she were my wife I'd take her out to celebrate.

"Sooooooo, $15,000? I guess you need me now more than ever, since I have an awesome new backpack to carry your stacks of cash in."
