Today, I got bailed out of jail. I was there because I saw a girl being hit by her boyfriend. I rushed over to help only to have her hit me repeatedly. The cops came and she blamed her bruises on me. The boyfriend corroborated her story. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, someone was getting beat up by 6 guys. When I tried to help, they had a swing at me as well. The cops came when I was enthusiastically defending myself. They got away, I got arrested. FML
Today, I saw a woman being mugged. I ran up to help and pushed the guy off of her. She then punched me in the face and called the cops because she was, "just living out a fantasy" and I'm, "a lunatic for trying to help." FML
Today, while I was out walking with my girlfriend, I got beaten up and called an "abuser" by a gang of women who noticed bruises on my girlfriend's arms and legs. The bruises are from her karate class. FML
Today, I caught my girlfriend cheating, so she smashed me in the head with her handbag so hard my eyeball is red from a burst blood vessel. I followed her home, where she tried to pretend she knew nothing, it wasn’t her I'd seen, she’d been home all day. I had to get the cops to drag her out my house. FML
Today, my girlfriend's ex punched me so hard in the face, I couldn't see straight. But I got up anyway. I lunged at him, and nailed him in the jaw. Turns out I'd in fact just knocked out my girlfriend the on-looker. FML
Today, a car hit me. I didn't get hurt, but someone called 911. The old woman who had hit me got out of the car with no problem to look at me, and gets back into the car. When the police arrive, she pulls out crutches and said I made strange faces and made her hit me. I got blamed. FML
Today, my boyfriend went to jail for a DUI. In a panic, I rushed to go bail him out. On the way to the jail I was stopped for running a red light. I soon joined my boyfriend in jail with my very own DUI charge. FML
Today, my girlfriend fell down the stairs and broke her ankle. She also had a bruise on her leg due to her friend biting her. I spent the night in the hospital to be there for her and support her, but I should have expected that the nurses would treat me like a criminal. FML
Today, my girlfriend and I attempted to help a little girl who was alone and looked lost. All I managed to say was, "Hi my name is…" when she screamed and set off an actual rape alarm in her pocket. I was tackled by about 3 people, while my girlfriend did nothing to help me except laugh and start filming it. FML
Today, my now ex-boyfriend called me from jail, expecting me to bail him out. He'd tried to buy a load of booze at the liquor store and came up short by ten cents. The cashier refused to be short-changed, and he figured the only reasonable reaction was to punch her in the face. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Yet another example that humans are assholes and trying to help them has a big chance of you getting in the shit

I'm very impressed that you got involved. Domestic abuse, by either gender toward either gender, is just not cool, & it was awesome of you to step in & try to stop it. But definitely FYL for getting thrown in jail. Hopefully that girl will realize what a stupid mistake she made.

It's honorable to have the courage to be a super-hero, but if your going to do that, you have to have the guns to back it up. If you get the shit knocked out of you by a girl who was, in turn, getting beaten up, you need to change your superhero M.O. If you see a crime, use your Batphone to call 911 and stay there to witness. Dunh-da-ta! WitnessMan, at your service, ma'am! The authorities have been notified, and I am mentally recording the misfortune befalling you!

#14, why don't you read the FML again. He didn't say he got beat up. He said he got hit. There is a difference. OP made the right choice.

People that stay with violent people aren't worth saving. If they can't leave, which isn't hard to do, let them get whatever they get.

You're really dumb. You have no idea how hard it is to leave a relationship after she (thinks she) is that dependent on him.

That really sucks. And then people learn not to get involved when someone honestly does need it. What a ****** up society we live in. I know I probably shouldn't say the bitch deserves whatever fate that befalls her from staying with that douche, because unfortunately most people like that aren't thinking in the first place.

I was turned on by this until I read the part of you getting arrested. Then I went into full arousal.

I found myself in a similar situation after reading about you in full arousal. But not in a gay way. I mean, like maybe if you were... I'm going nowhere with this.

I suggest you have your attorney research this couple's "priors". If he's beat her up once, he's done it before. There may be witnesses such as friends, neighbors, or roommates plus hospital records from past beatings that will corroborate your position that he is the guilty party and that you were simply the good samaritan.

She didn't deserve that and probably only backed up the abuser's story because of how afraid she is of him and how desperate she is for his approval. She was probably hoping that the abuser would see her show of loyalty and finally have full confidence in her and stop being angry at her all the time. Also, she probably feels that if she left him, he'd track her down and kill her or those she loves. He's in her head and leaving is harder for her than most people could fathom. It was honorable and wonderful for the OP to try and save her but the best way to save someone like that is to take away any of the abuser's deniability via video recording etc. On the one hand, if OP had just called the police maybe the abuser would have gone to jail. On the other hand, perhaps the next hit would have killed the victim and by stepping in so quickly, OP saved her life.
