Today, my girlfriend of three years broke up with me because I'm in the military and I'm gone too much. The reason I enlisted in the first place is because we agreed that the money and benefits I would earn would help us be able to start a family in the future. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my girlfriend told me she'd support my decision to stay in, or get out of the military, so I renewed my contract...... She broke up with me for it. FML
Today, my girlfriend of six months dumped me over the phone. I'm in the military and recently had to move away to another fort. We'd agreed that we would try to make long distance work. I'd even offered to buy a plane ticket to come see her each weekend. I've been gone less than two weeks. FML
Today, my girlfriend of over a year broke up with me while I'm deployed overseas. Her reason why is that she needs "to be alone to better herself." FML
Today, I'm seven months into a twelve month deployment. I called my fiancée, and she dumped me. The worst part is that two days ago, I re-enlisted to go to a unit an hour away from her house. FML
Today, my girlfriend of almost a year, and to whom I intended to propose on Thanksgiving, dumped me because her husband will be returning from Iraq soon. And he wants to have a "talk" with me. I didn't know she was married. FML
Today, my girlfriend of several years broke up with me because of my lack of ability to contribute financially to the life that she envisioned for herself, due to my significant contributions in child support to my ex. She wants a more equal partner. FML
Today, my fiancée broke up with me because I "don't know what I'm doing with my future". I've done four years in the Marines and am in the process of becoming an officer. She has a film degree which she has no interest in, works at the mall, and just moved back in with her dad. FML
Today, I broke up with my girlfriend, because her military father, who doesn't like me, continuously threatened my safety for dating her. Now he's threatening to kill me for dumping her. I can't win. FML
Today, my girlfriend of 3 years broke up with me, a month after I'd proposed and she'd said yes. When asked why all of the sudden, she said her family disapproved of me, and I wasn't worth fighting for and potentially losing her father's love. FML
Today, my boyfriend of two years broke up with me because he "can't date someone who supports the war." We started dating because he thought I looked cute in my uniform. FML

That's so messed up! She pretty much dumped you because you joined the Military to benifit her! Well don't let it get ya down man, you can do better than a girl like her.

She was probably just looking for a reason to dump you and maybe she convinced you to join in the first place so she could screw around while you were gone. Good riddance, I say

That's why we all sign up. Good intentions. It is common in the military, though. I am sorry she's being such a bitch. Find someone better. Don't look within the military/in military towns.

"...She said, "I need some time to find myself, I need a little space to think. Maybe we should start seeing other people. Baby, things are moving way too fast for me." So, I picked up what was left of my pride, And I put on my walking shoes, And I got up on that high road, And I did what any gentleman would do.. I, um... I got a brand new girlfriend. We went and jumped off the deep end, Flew out to LA for the weekend, Spent the whole day lyin' on the beach, Wearin' nothin' but a smile, Playin' kissy-kissy, smoochy-smoochy, Talkin' mooshy-mooshy 'bout nothin'. Man, I think I'm on to somethin', Ya know I feel just like a kid again. I got a brand new girlfriend..."

I'm so sorry to hear this :( My fiance is at Ft. Leo-Wood in MO and I could never ever ever imagine leaving him. It sucks that military folks are gone so much, I know first hand, however it's those who give us the freedom to hate it! **** her, you're way better off. Good luck!

You learned it late, but not too late. Go find a real woman now that you've taken out the garbage.
