Today, it dawned on me that I've been married for 6 months, but because of the Army I've spent only around 12 days total with my wife. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I found out that instead of being stationed in Afghanistan, my husband of 9 years has been "stationed" at his other girlfriend's house. FML
Today, I came home from a one-year Army deployment, only for my wife to tell me she feels claustrophobic with me in the bed. She then asked for a divorce. FML
Today, I'm in my fourth month of training in the US Navy. I'm 3000 miles from home. I joined to give my wife a better life. Since I've been gone, she decided that she liked being single. 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 learned that the girl I've been seeing for 6 months is actually married. She just dates me when her husband is pissing her off. FML
Today, my family sat me down and told me I was spending way too much time with my boyfriend and not enough time with them. My boyfriend has been away in Iraq for six months and just came home a week ago. FML
Today, my partner was sent 450 miles away by the army, after he had been home for only 22 hours. Yesterday they told him he could come home for two weeks. I guess the British army doesn't want me to be happy. FML
Today, it's been one year since my husband moved six states away for his job. The plan was for me to stay behind until I found a job, but I still haven't in all this time. I can just feel the distance growing between us. FML
Today, is the 6 month anniversary of my boyfriend and I. Turns out next month he will be celebrating the 3 year anniversary of him and his wife. FML
Today, I found out after 6 months in basic training that my wife of 3 years was playing the long game to scam me. She took me for 25k while I was away, then left me for a homeless meth head. I've been "getting divorced" now longer than we had been happily married. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Last time I checked, we were free before we were in this war. We actually invaded THEM. Not to say I don't have respect for the troops, but we are fighting in a war that isn't ours. And for my pre-determined response to the people that will ramble on about how they attacked us first: Not one Iraqi has ever killed any of our people on our soil. 9/11 was mainly Saudi Arabians. As for OP, I'm terribly sorry for you. I don't think your life is fuckable, nor do you deserve it at all. You have a wife that loves you enough to stick by you for long periods at a time without seeing you. Be happy you have her, she sounds like a great girl.

So this guy is crazy about me, but we haven't ever been on a date because he went to the marines before he contacted me again. He was supposed to come back in June but it was postponed till August. So I know how that sucks for you. Hopefully things will get better. (I support you for being in the Army, btw)

my boyfriend's also in the army reserves. he joined because that's what he wants to do for the rest of his life, the bonus was that it paid for his college. im terrified he'll be deployed. good luck with everything.

Aww did I hurt all the pro-war "terrorists are out to get us" people? I'm British and only moved here because my parents who worked for the UN had the "good sense" to drag us here. Since my brothers are in the military(and had to give up their British citizenship for it) I'm not against the military but rather the war the USA decides to get into. To the person who said something about prevention, how does being in Iraq stop North Korea from attacking your precious country? Isn't Iran practically next door to Iraq? I don't see you guys running to invade Iran and get rid of Ahmedinajad who ACTUALLY threatened your country. Fact is the only war the USA fought for good reasons in the 20th century was World War II. Ask any historian and they'd tell you the same thing. I guess like Bush who ignored the UN,you guys also refuse to accept that the war wasn't justified. Osama Bin Laden is actually Saudi;wonder why you guys are not bombing Saudi Arabia to flush him out.

I feel your pain.... my husband and I got married exactly a year ago tomorrow, and I have been with him for maybe 3 weeks of that year since we said "I do". The military bumped up his deployment date, so for all you jerks who are saying that "he should have known better" and it's "his fault because he's in the Army".... unless you've been where we are, screw you. I'm proud of you, soldier. My husband wont be home quite a few months yet- so I can sympathize with you. But I don't regret marrying an Army Soldier for a second. Best of luck to you two!

I respect the army and I'm grateful to all of those men and women who have chosen to make that their life career, but there are a lot of sacrifices that have to be made when entering the military, and frankly, you should have considered that before joining. That, and your wife is most likely just as upset as you are about your lack of time together. It takes a special woman who would marry someone in the military, and you're lucky to have found her. Nonetheless, it was your decision to join the military - no one else's, so don't complain.

Hi, I just went through the annoying process of registering myself on FML just so I could comment here. I registered on the off chance that the OP or anyone else in the military would read this- I just wanted to thank you for your service in the military. My sincerest unflinching respect and unconditional admiration goes out to you guys regardless of what war we're in, who the commander in chief is, or whatever your personal beliefs and convictions are. Thanks again and all the best.
