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

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

To #64, it does happen. Every month. They get paid more monthly because now they have someone else to support.

Hey, at least she hasn't cheated on you and stolen your money which happened to a soldier in another FML. Hope you get to see her soon!

FYL, and thank you for your service. The people who are saying YDI because you're in the army are just ungrateful maggots who don't deserve to breathe the free air we enjoy in this country. Take pride in what you do, I'm sure your wife does.

How many downvotes does it take to hide a comment? I ask because I cannot imagine #30 got many downvotes. Everything he said was correct, well put, and without malice. Now let's see how long it takes before this comment is hidden as well.

Oh and not EVERYONE IS FROM THE USA YOU IGNORANT FOOL! If I can insult the British asswipe that dragged us into that war,damn well I can insult your ignorant president and troops who decided to indulge the spoilt son of a bitch(and yes Barbara Bush has been known to make elitist bitchy comments)

that's one reason why my boyfriend is leaving. neither of us can deal with it. I'm sorry. hopefully you can make it through your contract sane, and still have a relationship.

Aawww :( I hope it gets better and you get to see her more often ... I toatally support you being in the army!

That sucks. Though, did you not know her until you married her? She's the same person she was before you exchanged vows, so I'm hoping you've spent more than twelve days with this woman.
