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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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?

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)

respect for You serving America. but to #221. It was Russians who liberated everyone from the Nazi camps, Americans always get the credit.

It was the Russians, the British and the Americans. Everyone liberated different camps.

To all of you saying deserves this because he enlisted... you're all idiots. He choose to DO something with his life... take a lesson. To those of you in the military, thank you and lastly to those of you, like myself, with a member of the armed forces, keep holding on.

YDI. Maybe if you weren't so busy learning to kill people and cause destruction, you could be a good person and husband and actually have a relationship with your wife. Joining the army is a retarded idea. get the hell out of it and get over yourselves, you're not helping anybody or fixing anything. you claim to be helping these people and they want you to go the hell away. you're an idiot. grow up and stop using violence like 3 year olds who can't sort things out maturely. Joining the army doesn't constitute as doing something with your life. way to take other people's lives instead. you do a good job of doing something with your life when you get killed. try having a real job. killing people doesn't count, you're just a murderer. it's disgusting.

You people are so ignorant. Without our military and the brave people who enlist you wouldn't have the right to say these things. You all need to get your heads screwed on straight and realize that you have the most amazing life because of these people. I dare you to go live in Iraq and say these things about their military. Good luck. You'll die. I'd like you to try and imagine your life without freedom and then see if you'd still like to bash this man. If you do, youre the sick one. It's disgusting that you think it's ok for you to say these things to the people who protect your freedom and rights.
