Today, I learned that not texting my girlfriend for two days is considered dumping her, and is ample reason to screw other men. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I dumped my girlfriend because she frequently wouldn't answer my texts or phone calls, and not call or message back for days. I felt that bringing it up made me a control freak. I couldn't take it anymore. FML
Today, my girlfriend broke up with me and threw all my stuff out into the yard because she caught me "texting another woman". Guess it didn't matter to her that the contact name was "Mom". FML
Today, this guy I was seeing dumped me for "bombarding" him with text messages. I'd sent him one text asking if he was okay, after he stood me up 2 nights in a row. FML
Today, my girlfriend had someone else dump me via text message. I knew it wasn't her because for once I wasn't being viciously insulted, and it wasn't written as if an illiterate baboon had taken a shit all over her keypad. I can't even feel happy about being rid of her. FML
Today, my girlfriend and I broke up. The reason? She slept with four men while I was two weeks away visiting my brother. She told me it was because she missed me so much. FML
Today, my girlfriend accused me of cheating, all because I don't text her throughout the day. Last week she told me she would get fired if she was caught reading texts at work, and to stop texting her during her work hours. FML
Today, my girlfriend dumped me for another guy by text. I felt so betrayed, I stupidly tried to hurt her by replying that I'd been cheating on her all along with a hot babe. Turned out the dumping text was actually a prank by her friend. Now I'm single and everyone thinks I'm a cheater. FML
Today, I got dumped during sex. FML
Today, I got a text from my girlfriend saying she needed more phone credit, so I bought her more and got another message saying "Great, now I have enough credit for this..." as she spelled out a three page message breaking up with me. Yes, I paid for her to break up with me via text. FML
Today, I sent my girlfriend a text this morning saying I love you. I rarely do this and instead of receiving the same message back, I got a message from my girlfriend accusing me of meaning to send it to someone else and dumped me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Well, this depends, did you just not text or completely cease communication for no reason? She's still overreacting, but I might be a little peeved too, if my boyfriend dropped off the planet with no explanation for two days.

Is there any reason for the lack of contact? Had you been fighting before? This needs follow up

Oh Hell naw!! No matter what the case, SHE cheated. She chose to cheat. That's ALL on her! If she had a problem with how communication or anything was in the relationship, she should have talked to you about it first. If she did, and it wasn't resolved, then she coulda broken it off. But cheating!? Just no.

Was this one of those things where she ignores you for a period of time to see if you would text first, or was she trying to contact you and you were just ignoring her? If it's the latter, I would say it's your fault. If not, her loss. Besides, she probably wasn't a keeper if she's okay with having sex with other dudes right after a breakup. Sorry, OP

If it's the latter, it's maybe his fault she was mad. But his lack of texting didn't force her open her legs to some other guy!

Don't listen to her, OP. She knows you didn't dump her, she's using that to try and shift the blame onto you so she doesn't come off as a shitty human being. It sucks, but it's better in the long run. Now you won't waste time with someone that'll inevitably screw you over down the line.

Sounds to me like a terrible excuse to dump you. Sorry, OP. You're better off without someone like that who A) Cheats, or B) Is so insecure that two whole days...ohh no.... can go by before coming to a conclusion that you want to break up if no texts come in.

If she thought this then you obviously chose the wrong person to date fyl

Screwing men might've been extreme, but everyone knows everyone is attached to their phones for Google, Internet, or even fml. It would've been easy to say hi or miss you babe. Again, while I think cheating is extreme, you did definitely deserve some kind of retaliation.

Way to blame the victim, there.

Not really, 18. 48 hours is a short period of time. If lack of contact was so alarmingly unusual, a rational person would likely be worried that something had happened, as opposed to getting dick. Retribution without facts is simply being an asshole.

To anyone reading this, I swear I'm not (completely) crazy. #18's comment did exist, stating something along the lines of people are attached to their phones, google, facebook etc, and that some kind of retribution is deserved for not keeping in contact. No idea where the comment went.

Why would you not text her for two days?
FalloutScrolls 25
OP gets cheated on, and you seem to imply that the victim deserves the blame because 2 days went by without a text message.

pretty sure thats not what they meant. i think theyre just wondering why op didnt talk to his girlfriend for two days? in this day and age with all our technology i dont feel like theres any reason why he couldnt say a single word to her for two days. HOWEVER there was absolutely no reason for her to take that as a go ahead to assume he broke up with her and to go screw other guys. that was a pretty ****** up move on her part. but id be really pissed off too if my boyfriend took it upon himself to disappear for two entire days. thats grounds for me to kind of freak out and wonder if hes even okay or if something bad happened. but thats just me.

*shrugs* Not everyone is hyperconnected. Some people really just don't text that much. Even to their bf or gf.

Because some people don't feel the need to text their friend/significant other everyday and just want their space for a bit?

sounds more like she was just waiting for an excuse to go bang someone else.

Probably should've texted her..

If you didn't communicate with her AT ALL for two days then there's more to the story here. She did overreact, but if you didn't speak to her for two days with no explanation then it doesn't surprise me that she assumed the worst: that you two were broken up and that she should move on.
