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!"

There's a lot of reasons to break up over a fight it could even be a small one sometimes things just build up and you say things that just lead to that hopefully it wasn't to bad that you can't still possibly be friend or something. hope you got your stuff back.

So???? Its fine to forget and drive back to get stuff back
Lalala579121 27
It's "fine" yes, people forget things, whatever. But just after a fight and breaking up with the person you have to drive back to? It'd be awkward at best, and there's no guarantee he would even give the stuff back.

Excuse me for asking, but aren't purses and handbags the same thing?

No. You keep your money and cards in a purse (just like a wallet) and you keep your purse in your handbag. Your handbag may also contain other stuff such as tissues, make-up, sunglasses, keys, cell phone etc

It was probably a sign. It was one fight. But, it could've been more…

Here's what the real FML should've read like: Today my partner left me because of a stupid argument I had with her. I was gregarious with joy when she Knocked the door half an hour later. I thought well at least one of us is smart and wants to talk it over. Alas, she was only back to pick up her keys, purse and handbag. FML.

Oookay. 1. You have NO way of knowing if it was a stupid argument or an incredibly serious one. 2. You do not know who broke up with whom. Maybe it was OP, but it could also have been her boyfriend or a mutual decision. 3. Maybe this argument WAS them talking it over. Maybe they'd been fighting for months, and this was just the one fight that led to them deciding that this wasn't going to work out.

It's spelled differently in different countries. This FML is from Australia.
