Today, I told my girlfriend I needed someone to talk to because I just found out my aunt has cancer. She told me to talk to her in an hour, Spongebob was on. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, while I was working my shift at the store, my girlfriend appeared and asked to talk to me. Once we were alone, she burst into tears and started sobbing. Turns out someone's dad died in her favorite TV show and she wanted some comfort. FML
Today, my grandma was diagnosed with lung cancer. We're very close, and I called my boyfriend, really needing some support. I'd barely told him what had happened, when he replied, "Babe, I'm in the middle of a game here. Call me later." FML
Today, during a text conversation with a girl I've been trying to get with, she complained about how crummy of a day she was having. I told her it couldn't be as bad as she thought, and she would probably get it over it soon. Then she told me she had found out her cousin had been murdered. FML
Today, I took my girlfriend out for a romantic dinner, since we can't see each other this Valentine's Day. Halfway through, my aunt called, telling me my grandma had died. I had to leave because I was crying so much, leaving my girlfriend with a very pricey bill. FML
Today, I spilled my guts to my girlfriend, saying I'm scared that all I do is upset her. I then had to sit through a speech about how upset she was that I hadn't told her sooner. FML
Today, my mom came over to me and whispered something in my ear. I didn't hear it and assumed it was a joke, so I started laughing. Turns out my aunt died. FML
Today, I wanted to text my girlfriend but lately we'd been at a loss for things to talk about. I thought, "Come on, she's your girlfriend, what's the worst that could happen." One hour and twenty two minutes later, I was single. FML
Today, my wife, who recently had cancer, made an offhand comment that my 30-year-old sister took offense to. Instead of saying something, she went and called our parents. My dad then called and yelled at me for 5 minutes about it. FML
Today, my friend's dad had a heart attack. Without realizing what I was saying, I texted her, "If you need anything, you know I'll be there in a heartbeat." FML
Today, I bitched out my grandmother, who lives with my family, for being lazy and laying in bed until 6-7pm for the past month. When I was done, she told me she had been diagnosed with cancer and was depressed because of it. Nobody had bothered to tell me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

#62 I feel sorry for your bf too then lol But seriously when it's something as serious as your aunt having cancer that's a shocking response for her to reply with. Personally I'd dump her, nothing worse than having a girlfriend who has no interest in how you feel.

I understand where she is coming from. Spongebob is awesome and if she doesn't have DVR then what is a girl to do right?

So when you DO talk to her, she'll feel like a moron. Really stick it to her, DON'T let her live that down. Or, just dump the selfish bitch.

Just because I was 18 when I got married doesn't mean it was a stupid decision. I know plenty of people who're married young and are still married in their 50's and 60's. Big whoop, I started my life before most people my age. I'm also a hell of a lot more mature than many people ten years older than me, so don't judge. And if you're going to hit me with the "I like Spongebob" thing, my PARENTS watch Spongebob and love it, so there you are.

Not to mention, I'm going to college and will be getting my Master's before the end of it, and he's graduating and going to be a teacher. We got married-- we're not struggling in a shitty apartment somewhere without any life goals. We're both doing well and will do even better once we graduate. Not everybody gets married out of stupidity, you dink. Take a person's situation into consideration before you open your mouth (or touch the keyboard, I suppose).

#70 I know a lot of people who married young and regretted it and split 5 years later, if not sooner. Maturity's not a prerequisite for marriage, and it's a lot harder to go to college (especially full time) when you're married and have kids to support. Just because you got married to spite your parents doesn't mean you're mature enough to handle adult life. OP, this is a good indication of what she's going to be like if your aunt gets worse, or if something similar comes along. She is showing you that you can't count on her, and you're not a high priority for her. Are you okay with that? Dump her and find someone who cares, and I don't say that to be mean, for once.
