Love: Today, my girlfriend dumped me and left me with the responsibility...

Today, my girlfriend dumped me and left me with the responsibility of the turtle that I never wanted but she insisted we buy "together." A little bit of research has revealed that Andre will live for "at least 30 years." FML

Today, I bought a turtle after wanting one for years. I was told that he was scared, so he would be put in a box for me to take home. It wasn't until I got to my car that I noticed that they sold me a dead turtle. I'm not getting a refund because they claimed I killed it in less than 5 minutes. FML

Today, I just came back from the vet. I spent a lot of money on a pet tortoise at the local pet store and it didn't come out of its shell when I bought it. The owner just said it sleeps in the day and it'll be shy for a week or so. Turns out it was dead. FML

Today, my boyfriend and I broke up. He now argues that he should keep the dog. We only dated for three months, and I've had the dog since I was ten. FML

Today, I had to convince my 20-year-old boyfriend that not only is his aquatic turtle a reptile, but that it's also cold-blooded and thus can't regulate its own temperature just by going into its shell. He still thinks I'm the stupid one. FML

What is it, sweetie?

Today, I came home to find my girlfriend crying. Concerned, I quickly asked her what was wrong. She told me tearfully that she couldn't understand why her pet lizards hadn’t grown into dinosaurs yet, and that pet store had cheated her. I’m still concerned now, but for entirely different reasons. FML

That's what I wanted to say, Make a soup ! and use the shell after as something cool, i dunno... one of those thingys to put out cigarettes or something ... The other thing is you can spend those 30 years with him training him to be a ninja turtle and let him kill your ex...

Not really a FML... Make the girl take the pet or advertise somewhere like craigslist or freecycle.

sorry to hear about that.. thats messed up but take the turtle to a shelter or post an ad online.. i foster homeless animals and always check online to find some that need a new home.. btw turtles ARE very difficult to take care i have a bunch they take a lot of work.. good luck
