Today, my wife and I had an argument serious enough to end our marriage, while overseas on vacation, with my whole family present. Three more days of awkward tension until we get to fly home and it all ends. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I've been on vacation with my friend and his family for a week. Apparently, his idea of a vacation includes constant screaming arguments with his wife, while their kids sob in the living room. I tried to take the kids out once and got a lecture on boundaries, which started another huge fight. FML
Today, my husband put myself and our 3 year-old on a plane back to the other side of the US, because he “just can’t” with us anymore. FML
Today, my wife and I got in a 4-hour heated argument, which resulted in her begging for a divorce, and admitting that she cheated on me. This all started with us arguing about the instructions for our new IKEA table. FML
Today, I had to suffer through a four hour flight beside my ex. Yesterday, I proposed, on the last day of our vacation. She said no. FML
Today, in the middle of a rough separation, my soon-to-be-ex-wife, who refuses to acknowledge it's over, told the children that I'm still going with them on that long-planned family vacation. The children are ecstatic; I however might be a bit less. FML
Today, my girlfriend and I went on vacation. We flew 2000 miles, got off the plane, got our bags and stood outside the airport for our ride. She looks at me and says, "I can't do this anymore." So, she broke up with me and flew back home. Now I'm on vacation alone. FML
Today, my husband (M72) and I (F69) had yet another argument over all the time he spends away from home doing hobbies and volunteering. After an emotional conversation about my moving out, he said, "Well, if we are done talking about that, let me tell you what I got to do today." Biggest emotional slap ever. FML
Today, my wife and I had one of the biggest arguments we've ever had, which resulted in her leaving, going to her parents' house and calling me twice, screaming and sobbing. The argument was over a seven dollar bottle of wine. Apparently, she was "saving it for a special occasion." FML
Today, our kids left for the weekend so that my wife and I could have some much-needed alone time. We've been fighting a lot recently and really need some time to have fun together. Now it turns out that she doesn't want to be around me because of the fighting. FML
Today, I came home from a one-year Army deployment, only for my wife to tell me she feels claustrophobic with me in the bed. She then asked for a divorce. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

love how ppl down voted you, take a joke, jeez people on this app are so uptight

There are times to make jokes and laugh then there are times to sympathize. I would assume most people see it as the latter. That being said, hope you get things figured out soon OP one way or the either. Ultimately, you guys gotta make a decision as to what will bring, for lack of a better term, closure to what seems like a troubled relationship already.

this is the internet, people make jokes about 911 and school shootings...besides this app is purely for comedy...

Exactly!!

Correction #42. This place WAS for comedy. Nowadays it seems to have morphed into a support group for all kinds of dysfunctional people. Make a joke about fat, ugly, stupid, nervous, religious, gay or cheating people and you can expect to be downvoted. RIP FML.

Does that mean this app has turned politically correct now?

Sometimes one argument can get so out of hand that things are said and done that make it hard to go back from. If some really hurtful things were said the trust in each other might be destroyed, and trust is the basis of a working relationship. OP, vacations can be stressful situations. So it might be healthy if you go out of each others way for the rest of it. Once home, you should have a serious talk about what you want for the future and if each of you can still see a possibility to have the other in said future. If you still see a chance it might be time to go see a psychologist or marriage counsellor together to work through the difficulties. If it really is the end though, try to keep the divorce respectful and fair. Treat it like a business negotiation. Either way, I hope a peaceful decision can be reached for the both of you! Good luck!

Make up sex is the best way to make up that or be the man and apologize

it's not always the man's fault. But sometimes it's worth taking the blame just to end the fight

You mustn't be married #23, we men are ALWAYS at fault no matter what evidence exists.

Exactly 41, you could catch her in the act of cheating and shed blame you for finding out

I think that's actually happened on one of the "FML'S"

Maybe a few more days on holiday together will make you both change your minds on splitting up.

exactly why I'm terrified of marriage

I swear you said this on a previous fml and still got downvoted for it. This one thing that happened to a random couple does not pertain to you nor will affect your marriage. I bet you are probably indecisive about a lot of things in your own past, present, and future relationships, which can, and perhaps faulter with this type of attitude. You need to be more accepting of things before you jump the boat about this stuff. Marriage isn't for everyone you don't need the title to be happy either. But I'm just saying.
