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?

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)

Máybe this a stupid question but can´t you decide for yourself if you wanna go to iraq or afghanistan? or somewhere else ? don´t you have anything to say about it?

Uh NO. Not at all. You're in the military, you sign a contract, and no, you do not get to decide if you want to go overseas.

Some older guy told me that back in the 80s they could choose but he was Air Force and a major at the time so that may have helped him. I don't think the "minimum wage" workers get to decide where to go but officers can

I've been in five years, I'm getting married next year. I'm stationed in Germany and after i get married will be heading back to the states to wait out my second year here. I know what you are going through. I haven't seen her in almost a year. and the idiots who are saying we are destroying the middle east doesn't realize we've put a lot of money and effort into the rebuilding of Iraq.

well you did kind of destroy it first...
bollywood_rocks 0
Um, we're rebuilding the damage we caused FIRST right? or did we just choose an arbitrary country and decide to waste billions to rebuild it?

And this is somehow a surprise to you? You're a soldier -- you go to exotic lands, meet exotic people and then shoot them: of course you're not going to have much time to be with your wife.

If she loves you, she'll stay with you forever. (:

That does really suck, that must be so hard, and you are doing a great thing for our country. But please, if you two decide to try for a child and she gets pregnant, please do not be leaving her and the baby, please think of a new career at that time, your child cannot grow up without a father.

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA! You're retarded! Yeah and FYL for not seeing your wife. I'm not too sure about all the shit America's in, nor do I care and I don't think you care what I have to say. Anyway, good luck with your life and country and relationship and such.
