Today, I had to explain to my husband why I was assuming that he was planning to attend my graduation ceremonies for my PhD next week. He still doesn't understand why he has to be there, and is pissed that he will miss his weekly pub crawl with his friends. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I found out why my boyfriend didn’t want me to attend his graduation: because a classmate he’s been seeing was there. I watched through the livestream posted on the school website as they held hands, hugged and kissed. I motivated him to finish college in the first place. FML
Today, my boyfriend of several years outright refuses to come to my best friend's wedding, on the grounds that he'll be "bored." FML
Today, my husband was surprised to learn that I am planning on celebrating our daughter's first day at school. He is now pissed that we did not "decide on this together." Who doesn't celebrate their child's first school day? FML
Today, I found out that my husband wasn’t at “work” like he said he was. He'd told me he couldn’t come to my Master degree graduation because he was called into “work” last minute. I guess “work” is code word for the “movie theatre” watching Spider-Man with an unidentified female person. FML
Today, my husband yet again procrastinated on a project for so long, that he now has to work during the weekend. When I asked whether or not we could still spend some free time together, he started ranting about how I ruin his career. He seriously thinks it's about us and not his horrible planning skills. FML
Today, I discovered my fiancé has been telling everyone else we are just friends, yet last night he wanted me to go with him to pick up my engagement ring. I'm supposing the wedding will be a surprise to everyone. FML
Today, my husband wants to go on a trip to Tulum with his friend. I suggested I go as well, but he refused because it’s a "friends trip." He assures me that he "won’t sleep in the same bed with her or anything." I had to explain why it was still inappropriate. He still doesn’t get it. FML
Today, I worked from home and, by coincidence, it was the day that my partner was going away for the weekend with some friends. When one of them picked her up, I noticed that the other friend's husband was going on the trip. So other husbands are invited… but not me. FML
Today, my husband told his parents that he was quitting his job so that he could focus on school. They asked him what he was going to do for money. When I told them that I'd be the one working, they took one look at me and burst into laughter. FML
Today, nobody wanted to come to my graduation after finding out that my father was coming too. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Your husband has got his priorities all jumbled up.

Aren't husbands supposed to be supporting? He needs to get his priorities straight.

Most definitely know how you feel OP. My bf was exactly the same with my Bachelor Degree, didn't quite understand the significance of a graduation! I feel for you :(

But don't you realise how extremely important it is for him to go out, get shit-faced and hang out with his buddies?! ...

He's just setting you up, OP. He's gonna make you think he's not going to be there then run across the stage and grab your diploma!

It's all about you, isn't it? PhD? So you're smart, but, are you intelligent? Dump the loser, you know what he cares about most.

He really could have saved that with: "But someone like you could get as many as they wanted. Do you expect me to be there for every single one?"

Well, he IS Canadian and those guys DO like their beer! This is either a case of misplaced priorities or OP, your husbands relationship with alcohol matters a LOT to him!!!! Doctor, dump the doche boy and heal thyself!!

As someone who has multiple degrees, I never demanded that anyone go to my graduations. That is mostly because the people in my life are supportive, and would go anyway. It really sucks that you aren't getting that support from your husband! :-(
