Today, depressed about a recent break-up with my long-term boyfriend, I bought a book about moving on after a relationship ends. The cashier placed some standard promotional fliers in my bag during check-out. Once home, I pulled out the fliers. They were for a married couples retreat. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I got an email saying the gift I'd ordered for my boyfriend of three years had been sent. I ordered it a couple of days ago because I thought he needed cheering up. I guess he found a better way of doing so himself; he broke up with me yesterday. FML
Today, a co-worker came back from his honeymoon. He passed by my office to say hi, and mentioned, "I heard you're getting married next year?" I broke up with my boyfriend yesterday. He's taking his things out of the house as I write this. FML
Today, I was trying to keep myself occupied due to my recent breakup. I was reading this book someone gave me about animal communication, so after a while, I figured I'd give it a shot. Then it dawned on me; I'm single, at home on a Friday night, and I'm trying to talk to my dog. FML
Today, I bought something special at Victoria's Secret, then sat in bumper-to-bumper traffic for 2 hours to get to my boyfriend's house. When I got there, he broke up with me. We're 37 years old and he actually gave me the "it's not you, it's me" speech. FML
Today, I was going through a hard and painful break up after a long relationship. Trying to get over it, I invited my two best friends over to lift my spirits. The night ended with them making out on my bed as I sat alone in the other room. FML
Today, I had dinner with three friends to forget about the painful break up with my boyfriend. The first friend announced that she and her boyfriend had just bought a house, the second one that he was no longer single, and the third one revealed that she was pregnant. FML
Today, I woke up without my fiancé in bed next to me, but I assumed he'd gone to work early. I went on Facebook to find that he had posted a break-up post to himself from my account and set my status to single. I then found a note with "Sorry" written on it stuck to the kitchen counter. FML
Today, my wife and I decided to try a relationship book. The first activity was to write down some things your partner does that bothers you. I made a very long list, then my wife and I swapped papers. She'd written, "Nothing, I love everything about you." She read my list and began tearing up. FML
Today, I finished hauling all of my possessions from another state, because I was supposed to move in with my girlfriend. I was just waiting to find a job. Almost as soon as my stuff was delivered, she broke up with me and told me to figure out getting it all back by myself. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I went shopping for an engagement ring. We ended up breaking up in the process. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

She's a girl too ... By the way don't be so harsh 1

5 Woah there just because OP is a girl does not mean she gets special sympathy, we don't know if OP ruined the relationship or the boyfriend did.
aruam365 24
9- I think they meant saying "grow a pair" wasn't appropriate since OP is a female and to not be so mean.

Grow a pair and move on F you for thumping down you sorry ass lamer losers i did have to do the same when something similar happened to me. idiots....
AwkwardPartyBear 24
Op is a girl. Besides, growing a pair makes you weaker. If you really wanted to be tough, get a ******- they can take a pound. (no pun intended)
AwkwardPartyBear 24
23- Your sentence is so ****** up I don't even know where to begin.

"Thumping down"? Please for the love of God, don't reproduce.

Read his bio. "In a very high possibility he's smarter than us". Brings a tear to the eye.

24-I believe that was a quote by Betty White ;). 23-No one gives a **** about what happened to you. This is OP's FML, not yours. Grow a pair, move on. Prick.
kippyco 6
Oh grow up. Being a pussy about an old relationship is the only sure way to stay single
The_Hitdude 12
And being a douchebag concerning a situation you know nothing about is no different. Looks like you're the one that needs to grow up, bud.

F.O.D. Asshole. Instead of her growing a pair, why don't you grow a heart.

1, that's physically impossible. OP, that's not being depressed. That's being sad.

Self help is for losers and u just want a pity party.

You probably have many self help books on how to maintain an erection.

Haha, you must not do much meaningful in life, since those usually.come with big downfalls as well as huge rewards. Can't magically get out of those downfalls either, and to each their own on how they do that

I understand that she's not over him, but a book? Really? Get a another dude.

20, some people don't want to rush into things, especially after a long term boyfriend, worst thing you can do is go out and get the label "****". she's getting over it her way, some people struggle to get just move on.

Get dating again or go have fun being single!
siickman 7
Yea "get" dating again ... Lol sorry it bothered me ... And OP dont use anyone just to move on... Relationships work better when you actually like/love the person .. So take your time
anarchistpunk 3
It's hard dating again with a broken heart. Shit, if she is where i was, its hard just thinking about it.

Man, enjoy the single life, it's awesome! I sit here.. play video games.. watch reruns on netflix.. drink myself in to a coma. Sometimes at the same time. ****..

Instead of sitting around reading books on how to move on from a relationship you should be out doing things to get your mind off it. Reading books is just going to make you more depressed that your relationship ended

different people have different ways of dealing with things. If that's what works for her, great! At least she's doing something about it.

I've never met anyone that this method actually worked for in the long run...

Oops, that was meant for 19. Oh well, glad this isn't the test I'm supposed to be studying for.

She has a point there, its not good to be alone when your feeling down, you should at least hangout with the people who love you! Helps me anyways
greg84_fml 21
That was their job to put the fliers in the bag, do not read too much in to it. Focus more on being your self and all will be right in time.
peacheso 31
Exactly. 'Twas just a mere coincidence.
rattusrattus 19
Use the fliers to make paper aeroplanes! Those things always cheer me up.

Double kill! The next thing you'll encounter is a couple getting married, then a happy family with their child, and so on.

Has to..? Has to what?! *dramatically looks at the sky* DAMN YOU SUSPENSEFUL ENDINGSS!
wildsweetchild 19
I'm sorry OP for a heartbreak, but I'd say all that happens, happens for the better..and don't mind the flyer, just get rid of it. Good luck!
