Today, I met the girl who dumped me because the distance between us was too great. We're in the same city again. She's now dating a Marine in Iraq. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was dumped by my girlfriend due to our long distance relationship. She then agreed to date my best friend who lives in the same town as me. 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 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, 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, I met my long distance girlfriend after two years of being separated by 900 miles. She brought her short distance boyfriend to the meeting. 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 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, I ran into a guy I knew from 3 years ago. He just moved here from out of state and is planning to stay forever. This is the same guy who dated me long distance and dumped me after a while because he “couldn’t handle long distance.” He just got engaged to a girl who lives here. FML
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
Today, I got back from a six month deployment overseas. My girlfriend of three years couldn't pick me up from the airport because she had an intramural softball game to go to. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

#8 and #13 nailed it. My fiance is a marine, and through being with him I've met a lot of military couples. Most of the girls are with their guys because they love to prance around saying "Look at me, look at me, my man is in the military!" and think that their man's struggle automatically makes them better than anyone else. I'm not with a marine, I'm with a man who happens to be a marine. I love the man, not the job. Do bankers' wives walk around going "Look, I date a banker, you can tell because it says so on my shirt!" No, because most people have more going on for them that they don't need to identify themselves through who they date. And #14, good for you that you can stay faithful to your man, but stop acting like you represent all military girlfriends. I'm faithful to my guy, but I know three girls just from my dorm that are cheating on guys over seas. One legit walks around with a camo hat that says "I love my soldier" but goes home with a soccer player every night and then brags about it. It's disgusting. So yes, a lot of military girlfriends cheat. Being with a military man does not make you a special class of person so don't feel the need to defend them. Just keep living your life and doing right by your guy.

#15 was right on. I am in the military (canadian, but I think our cultures are close enough for a comparable experience in this instance) and it is a real problem sorting out the girls that are attracted to the uniform from the ones attracted to the person. All my friends wear the same uniform and the girls that are just attracted to the uniform just turn into what we call "shack rats," screwing their way through the barracks. I have absolutely no respect for them, and avoid them like the plague. Decent girls, in my experience, are really hard to find, but do exist. As for the original post, the only thing more disgusting than a shack rat, in my opinion, is a Jody; someone who will actively pursue a soldier's girlfriend/fiancee/wife while he is on deployment; all Jodys must die. This Marine is having a tough enough time overseas without worrying about some asshole harassing his girlfriend. Keep in mind that this long distance relationship that she is having right now is temporary and she left you for a reason. Long distance relationships depend totally on the people involved. Maybe she felt you weren't close enough, or trustworthy enough, or worth the effort, I have no idea. Whatever the reason, the fact is she is no longer with you. Suck it up princess. And don't try anything to take her from him. Its just a really bad idea.

You probably deserved it. Let her move on. Chances are she dumped you for good reason. If all you do is come onto FML to whine about her finding a better guy, end it all right now.
