Today, I was at a party and saw an old friend from college. I went up to her asking how she was and how her family was. She went on to tell me that her husband left her a month ago and started crying. I told her that he was an ass anyway and that she didn't need him. Turns out he died. FML

Definitely a FML. Assuming "my husband left me" means a separation/divorce is pretty reasonable, it's what most people say in that situation. I've never heard anyone using that phrasing to describe the death of their partner. If somebody told me that their partner had left them, I'd automatically make the same assumption - as I think 95% of people would.

Who the hell refers to a spouse's death as them "having left him/her"? She brought it on herself for saying it like that.

I'm going to have to back up about half of the replies by saying that she is a moron for using a cute little euphemism instead of conveying the magnitude of the tragedy properly. Though, in defense of the idiot friend, I can understand that she would go to a party to cheer herself up. I've done that once or twice and it worked just fine.

So the woman is a idiot for something as trifle as this? Why is this site so judgmental?

Thats really funny..in a really sad way o_O. FYL.

that sucks. must have been hella awkward too

Always start with "I feel bad for you" and maybe "You'll be fine" works for most female problems at the beginning. then listen to details.

no offense to her but you don't say "he left me", you say "he died"

she should have said he died instead of he left her..

Well your friend created this unfortunate situation by not being straight up the first time. Sucks but its not your fault.

wait wait wait wait, didnt she say her husband "left her?" She should of worded it diffirent

Partly her fault. She didn't say he died. Just said he left.
