Today, I met a girl who's the whole package: brains, beauty, shared interests, great personality, single, and into me. Too bad I married my bitchy, depressive high school girlfriend who said she'd kill herself if I didn't. Sometimes, she still tells me she'll do it if we divorce. I believe her. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my girlfriend's mom pulled me aside and started telling me about how her daughter was extremely depressed and suicidal before she met me, and how happy her family is because of me. I was planning on breaking up with her within the next week. FML
Today, I had a great time with a girl I liked. I asked her out and she said yes. She also said she cuts herself and if I ever broke up with her, I'll be responsible for her death. FML
Today, the girl who I had a desperate crush on in high school 25 years ago, and who would never go out with me, told me that she was actually head over heels in love with me, but was so cripplingly shy that she couldn't say yes. She's divorced now. I'm married. FML
Today, I have been dating an incredibly gorgeous woman. She had a poor self image and after the longest time, I finally convinced her to seek counselling to help her self esteem. It worked. So well in fact that she just broke up with me because she "finally realized she could do so much better" FML
Today, my daughter has been such a bridezilla that her fiancé actually dumped her. He treated her well, was handsome, and rich to boot, while still working at his career, yet she couldn’t calm down enough to see she was ruining her life. Now, after the breakup, she's moved back in with me. FML
Today, I was diagnosed with depression. My girlfriend's idea of consoling me was to break up with me because she can't date a "psycho". FML
Today, it appears that when in high school I made one of those "If we're unmarried at 35, we should marry each other" deals. Well, this afternoon she turned up at my house. I'm not married, but I have a pregnant girlfriend. She claimed a girlfriend doesn't count so our promise is still binding. And yes, she had the crazy eyes. FML
Today, my girlfriend of 3 weeks gave me an ultimatum: marry her, or she kills herself. FML
Today, I bumped into the bitchy mean girl who bullied me mercilessly throughout high school, leaving deep emotional scars. When I told my boyfriend who she was, he picked her up, carried her out of the store, and threw her into a puddle. FML
Today, my boyfriend broke up with me for a girl he met through me. I shouldn't feel bad. Apparently, she's exactly like me, only much prettier. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Divource her. If she does something like that, it'll be her own fault for not seeking help for her problems. It won't be your fault in any way whatsoever. FYL though for being stuck with someone like her.

Exactly, divorce her ass and go for the new one. Had you and your wife been happily married it would be different, but if you hate everyday you live because of her, the get rid of her. (Oh and she won't kill herself)

I already posted this, but it disappeared. It sounds like your wife may have borderline personality disorder. When she makes those threats, does she do it to manipulate you? Has she ever followed up with a suicidal gesture (a failed attempt, or even self-harm)? Does she love you and think you're perfect one minute, then hate you and think you're terrible if you do something she doesn't like, even something that seems unimportant to you? Borderline personality disorder is among the hardest disorders to diagnose even by a professional in real life, and obviously it's impossible over the internet, but what you're describing seems like it might fit the bill. Get your wife into therapy. Drugs may help if she has a depressive disorder, but if she does have borderline personality disorder, then the only thing that will help her is regular sessions with a psychologist or therapist, since personality disorders do not respond well to medication. Get out of your marriage as soon as it is possible. I would consider consulting a mental health professional for advice on how to do this in light of your wife's condition, but you should not feel obligated to stay married to someone you no longer love just because she is mentally ill. You may also need therapy to recover from the years of emotional abuse, but your wife will most likely be fine and you will be able to live a normal life. Stay strong. I believe in you.

i'm in school to be a therapist, and can i just tell you that that is on of the biggest red flags/signs for an unhealthy relationship, married or not, and is used as a control mechanism. though she may be convincing, people hardly go through with it. sounds like she needs some therapy, and you might need extra therapeutic support if you decide to get out of your unhappy marriage. good luck...

Let the dumb bitch die - get on with you own life - you've let her hold you back long enough.

ur fault for marrying her

Seriously, divorce her anyway. She essentially used your human decency to force you into what will only be a miserable marriage. You should have never fallen for it. if she kills herself over it, well, she was too dysfunctional to survive anyway. That said, once you divorce her, don't run straight to the new girl. You need to leave your wife because of her issues, not because you wanna hook up with homechick. If you hook up with her too soon, then your wife will figure you've done her wrong, and her psychosis, depression, and suicide become "your fault." Leave her, stay strictly platonic (but in touch) with the new girl, give your wife's meltdown time to blow over one way or the other, and then you can go for the chick who's actually worth having with a clear conscience.

if she was suicidal she wouldn't threaten you with it. check her into a psych ward on suicide watch, then give her the papers.
