Today, I wrote the girl I love a long, gushy letter to convince her to be with me instead of her abusive ex. Later on, I asked her what she thought. She said she can't read cursive. She chose the ex. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I wrote my girlfriend a song. She wrote me a 13-page letter on why we should break up. FML
Today, my girlfriend found a letter I'd written to myself for moral support while we were broken up, in which I explained why we would never work out. Apparently I made a convincing argument. FML
Today, I finally wrote a DM to the girl I'm in love with, telling her not to say yes if her ex asked her out, and instead to go out with me. I then chickened out and deleted the message, but then realised she'd still get the notification on her phone. FML
Today, I worked up the courage to confess my feelings to this girl I'm crazy about. I even wrote and recorded a song for her. Instead of listening to it, she gave it to her ex-boyfriend, who responded to my heartfelt words by headbutting me. FML
Today, I found out that the girl I've been in love with for a long while got back together with her ex boyfriend because he had confessed his true feelings to her through a note in her locker. It was my note. FML
Today, I told the girl I've been seeing for a while about the strong feelings that I have for her and that I was falling in love. She told me my words made her realize what it felt like to be in love. My words were so powerful, in fact, that she ran right back into the arms of her ex boyfriend. FML
Today, I proposed to my girlfriend. Thinking I was being cute I spelled out "Marry Me" in alphabet soup, because that's her favorite. She took one look at it and started to laugh. She then began to spell out "no". She still ate the soup. FML
Today, I gathered the courage and wrote a love letter to put in the girl I like's school bag, at the end of classes. I felt anxious for a response. Her bag turned out to be her cousin's, and I became a joke in the classroom. FML
Today, I broke up with my boyfriend whom I love dearly because he doesn't share his feelings and won't commit. Yesterday, he wrote me a long love letter telling me he wanted to marry me. One of my kids had shoved it under my printer and I didn't find it until after he had moved out. FML
Today, my boyfriend gave me a really sweet poem that he wrote for me. I think it was secondhand - the first letter of each verse spelled his ex girlfriend's name. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Ya why write it in cursive? You very well know its hard to read
THE_A_TEEN 28
Why shouldn't he write a letter in cursive?
Zomg_Okay 27
Most of the time I don't find it hard to read at all. Exceptions for when the person's handwriting is just awful of course but that applies regardless of whether or not they write in cursive.

Maybe you should have sent him a letter in Comic Sans font.

Being in an abusive relationship is most often an endless cycle, he will continue to break her down and apologize for it, treat her like a queen for a few days then go on months of abuse again. I'm sorry you fell in love with someone who is in this cycle, it's best to move on rather than getting hurt every time she runs to you for a day and back to him for months.

OP , she's clearly stupid for choosing some abusive asshole over someone who would cherish her . Maybe it would be smart to look elsewhere . There's plenty of fish in the sea . You'll find your mermaid (:

I feel so bad for u. Shes a bitch..

Totally. Don't let her use you and cry upon your shoulder every time she gets abused. She will regret it later. And you can find someone who is truly yours and worth all the troubles in the world. Good luck!
ShannyAK 16
Wow, thats what I call absurd! Don't worry op you will find someone who will appreciate everything you do
Harpy20 24
Definitely* It's only an FML if you continue to pursue her. Dumb chicks stay with guys like that all the time for equally dumb reasons. Find a woman with an education. You're better off.
MDTeddy 13
He can do better, but did he think to read it to her in person or would it not help?
WhisperSoflty 20
How can you say he deserves better? It doesn't sound like he does to me. He sounds like the stereotypical "Nice Guy" who thinks that because he acts like a good friend to a girl that he's somehow entitled to a romantic advancement of the friendship. If he really wanted to get in this girls head and out of the abusive relationship, writing her some corny "love letter" and essentially going, "ditch that zero and get with the hero, babe." is the wrong way to go about it. It sounds to me like he doesn't care so much that she got back with her ex because he's an abusive asshole, but that she got back together with him even though she had, in his mind, a better option right in front of her.

If her boyfriend is abusive, she might not be able to get out of it. Maybe have some sympathy? :/
wuciwug 16
she can always get out of it, it's hard but not as hard as she might think. Help is out there, but only she can act on it.
petraphotoDOTca 6
perfect analysis. 'good guys' aren't always what they seem!
WhisperSoflty 20
121, I do have sympathy for the girl. My best friend is caught in an abusive relationship right now and it breaks my heart to see what she's going through. But you better believe that any guy who tried to get her to break up with her current asshole to be with them would put my guard up. All I'm saying is that OP should be trying to talk this girl out of the abusive relationship because it's abusive and she deserves better treatment, not because he feels like he's a better option. And can you honestly tell me that the tone of this FML doesn't reek of, "God, she's so dumb. And lazy. I'm so totally better than that guy. Why can't she see that?"? Because that's what it sounds like to me, and that doesn't sound like a guy who "deserves better". It sound like a guy who needs an attitude check.

I think you're on the wrong FML.

Welcome to the idiot minds of girls! Even though she can't read cursive she still had the song to listen to. I just think she liked getting abused..
fylx100 19
And now welcome to the idiot mind of the girl above me. #7, no where in this FML does it say that he also gave her a song to listen to. Oh the irony... Re-read the FML again.
mandysue87 0
Nowhere in that FML does it say anything about a song... Someone else needs to learn to read ;) and you beat me too it... Great minds think alike
ShannyAK 16
Song? Well you obviously would know since you were there

Misread... Dang!

And this is not my sister. I'm her brother using her account... So lay off the insult. Honest misread.
goose12321 11
48- oh is that what happened?
movealongnow 1
The idiot mind belongs to the one who thinks people like getting abused. And YDI a little OP for not just talking to her in person if you wanted her that bad. Or still not talking to her now and allowing her to continue to be abused. May have lost the battle but not necessarily the war!
DocBastard 40
Holy ****, another "It was my sibling! Don't blame me for being a dumbass!" excuse? When will you people learn to just own your mistake, learn from it, and move on? NO ONE BELIEVES YOU.
KMtheDrummer 6
DocBastard, I actually had to thumbs you down. You misread as well, he didn't say he wasn't responsible, he just was clarifying that he wasn't the girl in the profile pic. Still stupid, but for different reasons.
DocBastard 40
KMtheDrummer - Reread #41. Oh never mind, I'll quote it: "...this is not my sister. I'm her brother using her account." I'm not sure what comment you're talking about.
saransh 3
Doc- I think it is an honest mistake on lively's part. If you read his first comment.. Quote "welcome to idiot minds of girls." Its quite possible that he used his sister account as her sister being a girl, wouldn't generalize girls. And when will people start to believe in others, forgive and move on. And here I thought its a beautiful place to live to, but we will go out of way to insult and target for such a small mistake.
EagorLuvsBigFoot 8
Who cares
lively12 0
this is the real owner of this account... Do You think I would insult Another just because she decided to go back to her abusive ex?? I'm not that kind of girl. And I'm glad my brother clarified that he was using my account because he knows I won't post a reply like that. Whether you believe it or not is your problem, but don't call my brother an idiot.

That comment was for #98 and the others.

I think everyone here makes excellent points and that we've all learned some valuable lessons about the magic of friendship an power of love. LOVE!
DocBastard 40
Lively12 - People insult other people here for the smallest reason, and commenters have used this excuse countless times to try to get out of making a stupid comment. But if it truly was your brother, then I owe you an apology.
LSUtigres 2
Guys calm down it was a mistake in reading I did the same thing. It doesn't make us jackasses or idiots. If anything it makes you the ass for insulting on an honest mistake
09Z_fml 4
i agree with 7. this girl is a lost cause OP. move on. you can do better. you can never win with idiots like this girl. she wants to be abused. it isnt your duty to save her, you will just get hurt more. i know. ive been there.

Why would we re-Wright it? The Wright brothers were inspirational figures in history-- I'm just kidding. Go back to English class please.
THE_A_TEEN 28
I can understand mixing up right and write, but WRIGHT? Really, go back to English class.
KiddNYC1O 22
Ah, next year will mark the 110th year since the Wright brother's first flight. I remember 2003 I received a decent 100th anniversary book.

Yes. It autocorrected to wright. Your hands don't go anywhere near the 'g' or the 'h' when typing write. Stop making excuses.
