Today, I had an argument with my partner, which resulted in us breaking up, and me leaving. I drove for half an hour before I realised I had left my handbag, purse, and licence at his place. I had to go ask for it back. FML

Today, I got into a huge fight with my boyfriend after driving 200 miles to see him. While arguing, I told him I never wanted to see him again and left after slamming the front door. I left my car keys in his kitchen. FML
Today, I went for a drive to clear my head of relationship issues. That night, I got pulled over. Lost the car and my license. I texted my girlfriend, saying I was sorry; she left. Lost her too. FML
Today, I went to my boyfriend's house so that he could break up with me. I went out to my car to leave only to discover that all of the wheels had been stolen. Even the spare. I had to spend the rest of the day with my ex-boyfriend finding a way to get my car home. FML
Today, I had to drive 300 miles to a town where I thought I'd forgotten my purse the night before. When I got to the hotel I had been staying at, I found out it was actually in the trunk of my car. FML
Today, we drove six hours to get to our holiday cottage only to realise that my girlfriend had forgotten her suitcase. This put her in a bad mood, so she made ME drive six hours back to her flat to get it, then when I got there, I realised HER keys to HER FLAT were still in HER handbag six hours back at the cottage. FML
Today, I got a taxi home from work. Only having notes in my wallet, I told the taxi driver that I'd run inside my house and come back out with the change for the journey. He agreed, but only if I left my bag as collateral. It seemed fair. An hour later, I realized my wallet was missing. FML
Today, I walked out of my boyfriend's house to see my car window smashed in and my steering wheel cover stolen. I was only staying at his place because there had been a rash of vehicle break-ins in my neighborhood. FML
Today, my boyfriend of two and a half years left me. To clear my head I decided to go for a drive. My car broke down on the way. The only mechanic I have ever used and trusted with my car is my boyfriend. Yes, I had to call him. FML
Today, my boyfriend thought it'd be a good idea to break up with me in his car. I had to walk home. FML
Today, I left my wallet on top of my car when I filled up with gas. I drove away and didn't realize it until I got home. I went back and found it on the side of the road. Empty of my credit cards, pictures and checks. All that was left was my driver's license. FML

Why do people on this app always break up with their partner over one fight they had? Am I weird for talking it out with my partner?

Earlier: "I can't stand feeling like you're always out to get me, constantly policing my actions. It's terrible and suffocating!" Later: "I just need to get a few things back." "Ma'am, if you really are who you say you are, you'll have no problem showing some proof of identity." "It's me, damnit!"

I think if he was a cop, it may be more of an FML.

Which I certainly hope he gave back. If he didn't, it just speaks volumes about his character.

It's not a matter of asking. You will get them back

There are a lot of people on this planet born with both the Y chromosome, and the normally associated appendage in their pants pockets. Unfortunately too many guys seem to let the little friend between their legs go to their heads; so yeah there are a lotta guys out their who behave like dicks!

No one has two Y chromosomes. Women have two X chromosomes. Men have one X and one Y chromosome...

Well, your assuming it's over just one fight. It could be over many things & this one fight was the breaking point. And sometimes talking it through doesn't work, but good for you that it has.

Then I demand this information in this FML!

I think it's weirder to visit a site dedicated to stories about the worst relationships, pets, kids, bosses, coworkers, and sexual encounters and be surprised when none of the relationships are as healthy as yours. These stories are the best of the worst. It also seems weird to presume you can fit all the nuance of a breakup argument into a lighthearted story about an awkward realization.

It could be a build up to one big explosion and by that time they see no,way of resolving all of the issues and just walk away.

Did... Tripartita just make a serious comment? Uh oh, it must be a sign of the apocalypse.

*out of breath* Don't worry! It's been difficult, but I think I might've counteracted the effects by posting a typo correction that doesn't actually make any sense. Time will tell if we're in the clear. Remain strong.

Honest question: what's the difference between a purse and a handbag?
iseebearbears 27
Terminology
Redgy22 26
A purse can be carried over a shoulder, a handbag is just that. Something without straps that you carry in your hand. Sometimes also called a clutch, but all the terms are really interchangeable to most people.

7: A purse can be considered something small that you could put your money in (or ID, etc.), and can be placed inside of a handbag. A handbag would be considered a bag, that you can carry over your shoulders or in your hands that holds slightly bigger items.

In the UK (and I'm assuming Australia) a purse is a wallet. You can put it INTO a handbag. I think in America the words purse and handbag are pretty much interchangeable.

Purse is like a wallet only prettier :)

If you break up with your partner over one dissagreement, you get mad too easily. Especially when you get so mad that you forgot your handbag, purse, and license behind and don't realize it until half an hour later.
sweetpotato301 7
We have no idea that that's what happened. It could've been building up for a while. The disagreement could've been so major that there was no hope of staying together. An FML can't come close to telling us the whole story.

If it was major she would have said major argument.
Allornone 35
well, the argument ended with their breakup. I think it's safe to infer that it was major.

If he hadn't burned them before you got back, it means he still loves you.
askullnamedbilly 33
Oooooor he isn't a petty piece of trash. Either of those two options.
RichardPencil 30
Hey, let's give this guy the benefit of the doubt -- maybe he was just emotionally distraught. Just because I, um, I mean, he torched her shit after she left doesn't mean I, um, he is a petty piece of shit.

who carries both a handbag and a purse O.o

In some countries a purse is basically a wallet
