Today, I blew a tire without money for a spare, had to have my ex come get my kids, drove home on three tires, and possibly fucked things up with my girlfriend beyond repair. My girlfriend is the only person keeping me sane, and I might lose her. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, one of my tires blew out on the highway. I managed to slow down and pull over without dying, and went to get my spare tire. I found it right where it was supposed to be, knifed to hell and with a taunting note from my psycho ex taped to it. We broke up nearly 3 years ago. 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, my girlfriend's dad let me borrow his car for transportation to work because mine got totaled. This car is a complete dump and I've realized he's only letting me use it so it's my fault to fix the broken things on the car. So far, I've had to replace the battery and two popped tires. FML
Today, as I was talking to my hubs about replacing a tire on my car, said tire blew. I don't have a spare, and I don't get paid till tomorrow. 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, my girlfriend broke it off with me when she realized I can no longer treat her to expensive gifts and meals. My ex-wife is bleeding me dry with child support payments, I can no longer afford the lifestyle I used to have. She won’t take me back. Now I’m totally single and broke. FML
Today, after my girlfriend’s grandmother died over the holidays, both my kids are sick, my beloved aunt is on death’s doorstep and, to top it off, my car’s brakes are shot. I don’t know if I will ever not be stressed the hell out again. FML
Today, I was driving to visit my parents for the first time in two years. After spending about $4000 to make sure my car wouldn't break down on the journey, around the halfway point, the front tire popped and the engine blew out. I'm about 5 states away from both my parents and my home. FML
Today, I broke up with my boyfriend because he has anger issues. Tonight, my tires were slashed. FML
Today, I caught my ex trying to slash my car tires with a knife. She actually had the balls to claim she was testing my tire pressure, before power-walking off into the distance like nothing had happened. FML

If having a healthy coparenting relationship with your ex is ruining your relationship with your girlfriend, I hate to say it, but you might be better off without her

If she's going to leave because you blew a tire, I'd say she's a girlfriend you really do not need.

What? Your kids don't keep you sane? I've never heard of such a thing!

Let me guess, you told your girlfriend you asked your ex for a ******* and didn’t mention the ******* was for the flat tire. I can see where she’d be upset.

UPDATE: my girlfriend and I are fine. I got my van fixed, and let’s just say my ex and I don’t have a healthy co-parenting relationship.

By the way, many new cars don’t even come with a spare anymore. Carry a tire inflator that you can plug into your car DC outlet. I haven’t changed a tire myself in 20 years. The great majority of the time if you buy decent tires they get a slow leak instead of a blowout. Then you can re-inflate your tire until you get somewhere that will fix your tire… Driving on a flat will destroy a tire so it’s not repairable and can damage your rims which makes it a much more expensive situation to recover from… By the way, glad you made it through the situation safely. I remember being in college and not being able to afford anything but used tires and had more flat tires than I care to remember.

yeah... I found out about the spare tire change while doing 110km/h on the express way through the busiest city in my province. spent a while dodging traffic looking before Kia told me they don't so spares anymore... my advice is buy a spare, a run flat is fine but if you cut the side wall you could be ******. a spare on a rim is worth the cost of being able to not get burned by a tow company.

Agreed, just get both. If you use a spare once it pays for itself.

I'm thinking OP's relationship is on the fritz because he called his ex to get his kids and not his current girlfriend. Which begs the question - why call your ex and not your girlfriend?
