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, my girlfriend of 3 months broke up with me via text and said she was keeping the cat. I've had the cat since for seven years since she was a kitten. 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

People do this to others with human children and you believe your life is "******" because of a turtle? If the simple responsibility of owning a pet is enough to **** up your life, perhaps you're not in a place where you should be in committed relationships.

Goddamn it, ANOTHER post that just elicits the response: And? So what? You have a turtle, boo-freaking-hoo. If you don't want it, give the bloody thing away. And doing research *after* you get a pet? Real smart. I'm just sorry you didn't get something venomous. At least it would have saved us from a lousy submission.

Animal shelter for sure, and definitely not PETA please. YDL in a way, but then again I've seen a guy buying a kitten before because the girlfriend wanted it - and the kitten wasn't cheap lol, so also FYL.
