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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

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..."

Just remember, 1 in 290,000,000.....

That still means "there's a chance" to many people. Shouldn't base ANY future plans on actually winning, though!
Lalala579121 28
Unless those future plans involve buying a coffee and a donut with the five bucks you won.
cheshireau 26
Those are the types of people who blow through winnings when they do win.

I'm sorry, but how? When I win the lottery, I'm going to invest it and use it to pay for schooling and get a proper education and use that to get a fantastic career. That sure sounds like blowing it to me. You made that assumption without enough knowledge on the subject.

13, Shut up.

Then she's obviously not talking about you? And it's a common thing when someone is given a huge sum of money that there is just disconnect causing people to spend willy-nilly.
yerawizardlizzy 27
Why are you even going to do all that? If you win the lottery (assuming you win the jackpot), you won't need all that!

When this thing happens that is more likely to never happen than to actually happen I am going to do all these things, I won't make any effort to do any of them until then...and you're stupid for making the assumption that this method of planning is a bad thing lol yeah good luck with that

I'm realistic. If I won a couple of millions or more I'd buy a 12gauge and a box of shells then spend the rest on strippers and blow. When I sobered up a year later and realized I'd blown all that money on strippers and blow, I'd have the shotgun to take care of my shame.

You see #29, you're the person who goes bankrupt after winning the lottery. On a side note, I do apologize for my previous comment, I was in a bad mood at the time.

Seriously? I mean maybe, i like squandering money myself but not that recklessly to let me end up broke...
yerawizardlizzy 27
Not likely, but whatever makes you feel better. And I wasn't referring to not investing. I was saying if you win the jackpot, you aren't likely to need to work at all.
cheshireau 26
I was insinuating and I shouldn't have. That's my fault. I've seen a few articles on families who have been torn because they have spent all their millions in winnings only to have to sell their cars and houses to make ends me because they didn't spend wisely.

Does he maybe buy too many tickets to win? Here are details missing, we need a follow up.
sxdryv 14
maybe you could make your own money? just a thought

I am sure there are 2 sides to a story. If you are married you need to do your duty as a wife. Too many people have excuses for making things NoT work, how about making an effort?
ManUtdFan743 21
And what the **** is the wife's "duty" exactly...?
Krypt1c 11
You sound like enough of an asshole right now that I legitimately think you need punched.
ShadowStarEXE 35
I hope he was joking, or that he has a steady job at the very least. But I wonder if there's more to this story. Follow up, OP, please? What did he do or what ISN'T he doing? We must know!

Learn him the other formula: work+effort= guarranteed money
LPac5295 27
I think someone needs to TEACH you the better grammar.
UnidentifiedFun 37
Nope, you can say "learn him" instead of "teach him." It's ild fashioned but it works
smoothies14 32
You see 33, I might believe 21 meant to do that if he/she spelled guaranteed correctly.
writerchic85 26
This is why you shouldn't rely on a man to support you
skatoolaki 24
Who said she was? In this day & age, more often than not, both persons in the relationship need to work and contribute to the household. Even more so if there are children involved.
rapunzel3416 28
Wait... This isn't an acceptable plan for my future? Well back to the drawing board I guess.
LPac5295 27
Well in your case you can always wait in a tower and wait for prince charming to rescue you by letting down your hair. Then you'll get his money!
yerawizardlizzy 27
Bet he's mad he can't get in on today's Powerball.
