Today, at a red light, my mom started to tell me that she and my dad hadn't had sex in months, that they "probably won't bounce back from this one," and are most likely getting a divorce. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was having sex with my girlfriend on our couch. Meanwhile, my parents came to visit us without telling me. FML
Today, after an extensive talk with a relationship counselor, we concluded that I'm more likely to get run over by a car than be in a stable relationship. FML
Today, my wife told me she wanted a divorce. She also confessed that she has been cheating on me with my best friend for 10 years. I appreciated the honesty, but was slightly upset considering we have only been married for 9 years. FML
Today, my boyfriend dumped me, all because he's scared of my mother. FML
Today, my wife and I decided to celebrate Christmas Eve with her side of the family. When we arrived at her parents' house, I heard her mother say that Christmas miracles don't exist since my wife brought me along. FML
Today, while my husband and I were arguing, he walked away in the middle of my sentence yelling, "Remember babe, you're only my current wife!" FML
Today, my husband and I woke up to see my drunk mother passed out on our couch. She was wearing nothing but socks. FML
Today, I was dumped. I ran home and cried and ranted on and on to my mother. After about 10 minutes of talking, she threw a book at my face and said, "No wonder he dumped you! You can't shut up!" FML
Today, I poured my heart out to my girlfriend of two years expressing my feelings for her. She responded with, "I'm going to bed." FML
Today, I got a call from a girl I dated long ago, who cheated on me and got pregnant by another guy, or so we thought. Turns out it isn't his, and she is taking me to court for child support. FML

I suggest that you awkwardly turn on the radio and slowly increase the volume until her voice gets drowned out.

My mom talks to me about personal things such as these too. My parents will never get a divorce but sometimes I wish they would because they argue sooooooo damn much! OP, your mom obvious needs someone to talk to about this so you could understand why she and your father will most likely divorce. They probably stopped having sex because they weren't getting along vs divorcing because they weren't having sex.

Could have been worse. Obama could have won the election, and we'd have been stuck with him for another four years. Oh wait...

Kind of a random place to be told but nevertheless this is still a sad FML. My advice is to still love your parents because they still love you even if they don't love each other.

Why do parents always choose to tell you things like this in the car?? Don't they get that it makes the rest of the ride awkward as hell?

Agreed ^ when my dad told me he was leaving us he and I were driving around. While it limits the amount of distractions, it also gives you a minor distraction to bring the awkwardness down a level. (if that even makes any sense) I'll take hearing bad news in a car over hearing it while sitting on the couch any day.

Well, that escalated quickly.

I guess the only thing to do would be to jump out of the car and run...

Your parents are throwing in the towel just because they haven't had sex in a few months? Seems a bit drastic to me, but maybe I'm just nieve. You'd think they'd make a concerted effort to "get the spark back" before giving up. I mean, they're MARRIED, with friggin CHILDREN for goodness sake! You'd think that would hold more weight than a few bad months. My guess is that lack of sex is just a side affect of what the real problem is.
