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!

Miley Cyrus has been with one man for 3 years and we call her a *****. In the time, T-Swift has had more boyfriends than toes on her feet. But she's so sweet and innocent! I think she's kind of an ass for writing bad song about all these poor guys!

Well I admire you for sticking up for yourself like that, but if you plan to be that committed, you need to make sure that your band mates are as committed as you are. If you're going to make it in today's music industry, you're going to have to work non-stop and take advantage of everything you're dealt.

Somehow I think this is coming from the ex-girlfriend...

Ok, here's what you do: since the band doesnt seem to be working out, get off your ass and get a JOB! Welcome to the real world where not everyone makes it as a rockstar, movie or TV actor/actress

Ok, so you "are unemployed, STILL live with your parents, & can BARELY remember how to play guitar"..where are your "band mates" now, working or still living with their parents?...sounds to me like you were an idiot who wasn't really serious about music to begin with & thought everything would just "magically" work out. The fact that you can barely remember how to play, shows that you did absolutely NOTHING as far as music is concerned & NOTHING as far as life since you have no job & still live with mommy & daddy...they need to kick your ass to the curb & that'll force you to become something more than just the leech you've been so far.

Self belief is a wonderful thing. It's just a shame it's so often misplaced! YDI
