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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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?

You deserve so much better than that.

Sorry for you that was the outcome, but I gave you a YDI because you should have had the courage to go tell her face to face. Then when she swooned, you could have taken her in your arms. Instead, you get to stay home and **********, using your own tears as lubricant, thinking about her ex, taking her sexually.

I'm going to go against the grain once again and disagree with 99% of the commenters. Cursive is a pain in the ass to read. I can still read it, as can most everyone else I know, but it takes 3x the time to read a letter written in cursive as it does to read the same letter written in block print. Not only that, but cursive is damn near impossible to read if the person has anything less than perfect handwriting because with cursive all the letters look nearly the same. Block print is much more forgiving to bad handwriting. OP probably just had shitty handwriting. Or even better, probably never wrote anything in cursive before and was only using it to make shit seem more romantic or something. Moral of the story: Stop ******* writing in cursive. It's a retarded way to write.

An excellent example of society dumbing down.

Because they don't hand write a letter? Why bother I don't make my own clothes, or grow my own food, and my laptop makes letters everyone can read

Wait, how is this "dumbing down"? Cursive is a much slower way to write. Unless you are doing calligraphy, just write in block print. It's easier to write AND read than cursive. Seriously, using cursive for handwritten letters is dumb. Nobody benefits from a method of writing that takes longer to write AND read than pretty much any other method. Also, when did I say not to hand write anything? I just said not to write with cursive.

You must be really bad at it, which probably explains why you don't like cursive. It's actually a lot FASTER to write in cursive than in block letters, if you're doing it properly. As for the other point, it's still very relevant in the technological age because it's much more personal than writing stuff on a keyboard. Plus, if your cursive is even halfway decent, it's beautiful to look at too.

Your brain reads by the Last and First letter than the number of letters in the word then the collection of letters in the word. It's much faster to read and write cursive. In the UK EVERYONE writes in cursive once they're over 10.

In addition, writing in cursive has been proven to improve brain function. It encourages your brain connect ideas more fluidly.

In matters of love, never rely on a letter - Say it from the heart and in person. In any case you are better off without being involved in such a mental case that she would go back to an abusive boyfriend.

They always choose the ex. No matter how much better us good ones are, they decide to drown themselves in the misery by staying with them. It's time to give up OP

There are two types of intellect: common sense and book-smart. She possesses neither of these.

Well you learn cursive writing around age 8 or so, so if she can't read it, she's either 8 years old or just really, really daft.

I think schools (or at least schools in my area) are no longer required to even teach cursive writing. They can if they choose too.

It's not like it's easy to get out of abusive relationships, especially if it's been going on a while.
