Today, the girl I dumped three years ago because she wouldn't take my band seriously is now a successful and rich environmental scientist. Meanwhile, I'm still unemployed, living with my parents, and can barely remember how to play a guitar. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I found out who my ex-girlfriend left me for. He is more successful than I am, and comes from a supportive and unconditionally loving family. He is bigger, taller, and 4 years younger than me. To add insult, I’m only 25 but this rich kid is in a band and plays guitar better than me. FML
Today, it’s been 2 years since my highschool ex dumped me after I went to college. Since then, I fell into depression, dropped out, and am now trying to get back on my feet working at Wendy’s. Meanwhile, she’s been having the time of her life, hanging out with bands, and got rich from TikTok. FML
Today, my girlfriend dumped me because I didn't take her pet rock seriously. FML
Today, I was dumped by the guy who serenaded me with his guitar and admitted he had feelings for me. Why? Because the girl who had continuously been rejecting him for so long finally decided to give him a chance. FML
Today, I was dumped by my girlfriend because she wanted to be with a man who has an income and a stable career. We are seniors in college and I accepted a really good job offer which I start once I graduate, which she knows about. She dumped me for a drug dealer. FML
Today, I saw my ex, who had dumped me for not being “ambitious” enough. I'd said she was just a gold digger and would die alone. She looked amazing at the fanciest, most expensive restaurant in town, and was celebrating being made partner at her law firm. I was bussing tables. FML
Today, my ex-girlfriend, who disliked the music I listened to and made, is now dating some womanizing party promoter who promotes music of the same genre of music I make. Now she’s all about it, including rocking the image. Who knew ghosting cheaters wanted everything about you, except for you… FML
Today, I found out my ex-boyfriend's band has become quite popular on YouTube. My friends and sister won't stop singing their songs. Most of them were written after I dumped him, and go on to say how much better off he is without me and how horrible I am. FML
Today, my girlfriend of 3 years broke up with me by taping a breakup note to my doorstep and ding-dong-ditching me. FML
Today, my girlfriend broke up with me because I was unsuccessful at a job interview, and she didn't want to be with someone who "has no future". She's unemployed too. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

In a way, YDI. It seems you were one of the idiots who had no backup plan just in case music didn't work out. But in another way, I respect you for attempting your dreams. Maybe try getting a stable job, and getting your life back on track, and one day maybe you could try again! Just keep a job, and another plan on the back-burner, just in case!

You dumped a girl for a ******* band?

One of the curses of being a musician...
unknown_user5566 27
OP probably assumed he'd become a superstar, and have a bunch of hot little groupies following him everywhere, leaving no time for a stable girlfriend. Lesson learned, I suppose.

He dumped her...

You had no backup plan? Well then YDI. So many bands are great but they never even get close to making it. Going for it is fine, but at least take a night class once a week.

Agreed! I believe that people should pursue their dreams and aspirations whole heartedly. However, you shouldn't put then above your family, friends, or relationships. Sometimes life can become hard and leave you broke and unemployed. But if you have a firm foundation of support from your family, friends, or a relationship you can overcome those hardships together. You may not always have money or a job, but solid and genuine relationships will always be there for you at the end of the day. People are so much more important and valuable than money could ever be. Plus, you have a much easier time and a greater chance of achieving your dreams, aspirations, and a successful career if you have a support system comprised of family, a boyfriend, a girlfriend, or a spouse by your side to encourage you, uplift you, and help you along the way. However, I am in no way implying that you cannot achieve all that you want for your life without having the support from your family or a relationship, because you certainly can. And some people may even feel that it is easier that way.

If you're in a band you should never pin all your financial hopes on its success.

Don't let your life end on a sour note! Buck up and live your life a-chord-ing to how you want. Don't let anyone riff on your way of living.

How did he stick to his dreams? He is unemployed, living with his mom, and can't remember how to play his guitar. Obviously you didn't take it seriously either.

Hindsight is 20/20. Find something else your passionate about & go for it.

Or he can just get a job & move out of his parents house like a normal person.

Girls always know, OP. Well. On some things. But this time, she had good intuition.
