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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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)

That really sucks, but allow me to thank you for your service to our country. Hopefully, you'll get a better assignment and more time with your family.

That's so sad...but it is why I maintain the opinion that the military is for singles only....it works for some fams, but in most cases its really hard on everyone. I really think its great for people who were raised w/o the comprehension of taking care of themselves (which is, sadly, about 87% of my generation) because it teaches people how to take care of themselves....self discipline, team work, etc.

"No one should join the military unless we're being attacked"? "The military doesn't protect our freedoms"? I'm sorry, but you people honestly just don't understand how the world works. Without a military, America, nor any other country for that matter, would last longer than five minutes. Our military is the only thing keeping those countries who might wish to destroy us from invading and doing just that. Now I don't necessarily agree with the war in Iraq, although I do support the Afghan conflict, it is not one soldiers choice whether or not to invade a foreign country, nor is there a choice to join the military for a great many people. If not for this soldier and the many like him the government officials might reinstate the draft and send you to fight in his place. If you should be blaming anyone for the wars you don't agree with, you should point your fingers at the elite bureaucracy that placed us there in the first place, not the soldier who is simply doing his job.

Never do the math, bro. It's just depressing. I've been married to my husband for a year and a half, and we've spent seven months together. FOL (f OUR lives). Stay strong.

I'm really saddened that so many people are saying YDI for joining the Army. My husband is an OIF and an OEF veteran, and still on Active service after 10 years. "Sexually deprived for your freedom" Haha. I hope that you are able to be with your wife again soon.

Exactly. I'm tired of stupid ******* ungrateful liberals that say shit about the soldiers, but if it wasn't for them, their asses wouldn't be alive.

Thank you for your service, i'm sorry you haven't been able to spend more time with the wifey. My husband will be deployed when our child is born- talk about sacrifice. And for those of you who think you know everything about the military and say things like everyones stupid, maybe you should actually know something about how the military works before you open your mouths. My husband graduated top of his class, had several scholarships to state schools and chose to join the Navy to see the world, which he has. And he does one of the most mentally challenging jobs in the military, hes a nuclear chemist. While yes, there are jobs for those dumbfuck individuals, people actually take a test upon enlistment that qualifies them for certain jobs. So the higher they score, the better of a job they can get. A lot of people don't join to fight for the war in Iraq, they join for college money, to see the world, ect. Its just another job.
