Today, I now accept how stupid I was to marry a man whose plans for the future all start with, "When I win the lottery…" FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my boyfriend came home, complaining about not having enough money for bills. He then pulled a stack of lottery tickets out of his bag, saying, "I hope one of these wins." FML
Today, I won the lottery. My ex-girlfriend has the ticket. I just broke up with her. FML
Today, my fiancé and his family accused me of being with him only because he's rich, refusing to go ahead with the wedding. I accepted his marriage proposal 4 years ago, when he was penniless and unemployed. FML
Today, after 8 years and a house bought together, I realised I regret getting married. FML
Today, not only did my ex-wife take everything in our divorce, my most recent lottery ticket was off by only one number, I would have won millions and she wouldn’t have been entitled to a penny. Oh well, back to sleeping in my caravan, which is all I have left. FML
Today, I got engaged. My family is already placing bets on how long it will take for my fiancée to "wise up and ditch" me. FML
Today, I discovered my husband hadn't stopped his dangerous gambling habit, even though he'd promised to stop after I caught him the first time two months ago. I'm hurt, sad, confused, and angry. FML
Today, I realized that I may have made a mistake in getting married, because he kept telling people to "Stop fucking crying, it's not a funeral." FML
Today, my husband announced the reason he had been working since much is because he had secretly paid off my tens of thousands of student loans. I then had to tell him I'm leaving him for his best friend. FML
Today, I’m married to a man who thought Trump had several good ideas but just went about it the wrong way, but he’s sure he’ll do better next time when he takes the White House back from Biden. FML

When he wins the lottery you ain't gonna get a dime with that attitude.

Start all your plans with "After my husband gets his future straightened out..."

That's when she divorces him and takes half the money.

OP's husband sound like a guy full of faith and a good solid plan in his life.

Unfortunetly, faith and plans don't go your way all the time... he should atleast have a back up plan in life to live his current life... before he wins the lottery.

how do you know he doesn't already have a plan but is also planning for the lottery as a "what if". could always have a plan everyone else doesn't know about. including his wife for whatever reason.

If the husband had a real plan and the lottery was just a "what if", it wouldn't be an FML.

Well OP all I can think of is convince him to start making something with his life. Best of luck to you both!

What's wrong with an optimist?
Mathalamus 25
Basing your future around winning a lottery is stupidly optimistic. I can't wait to see his optimistic views collapse in a hilarious way when he realizes that it just isn't viable.

I have no idea why you keep getting thumbs down, I happen to completely agree with you.

it's called logic and probability

If you love him, you made the right decision. Hope he wins soon OP.

**** that guy. I hope I win
Isn't It Ironic? 24
Dreaming will only get you so far. Gotta work for it too. Hope his plans change and/or come true -for your sake and his.

My mom does the same thing. I don't really see how that's a bad thing.
Lalala579121 28
It's a bad thing if you use it as an excuse to not work for a living or do anything. And it's still more healthy to have realistic dreams to work towards than just putting all your future desires up to luck and a prayer.

Ah. I came back to this FML and I noticed that I misread it a little bit. I didn't realize that OP's spouse was relying on the lottery. I also meant that my mom just fantasizes about winning the lottery. My apologies.

I wonder what that poor guys response to this FML would be. More like FHL

Does he at least buy a ticket?
