Today, my boyfriend of six months called me. He said his mom was making him choose between having a dog or having a girlfriend. I asked him which one he picked. He went quiet, and I heard barking in the background. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I gave my boyfriend a choice between me and the super creepy, codependent, almost Norman Bates relationship he has with his mother. Guess which he chose. FML
Today, my boyfriend apparently lied to me when he'd said we could get a dog one day. I bought a puppy for him in secret but as soon as he saw it he was all, "What the hell is that? We’re not keeping it." It’s now with his parents, as he didn’t want it overnight or even in the house. FML
Today, I asked my wife who she would choose, me or the dog. She chose the dog. No hesitation. FML
Today, I called my boyfriend just to hear his voice since I haven't seen him in a while. His mom picked up and said "Chris isn't here right now, he's with his girlfriend. Do you want to leave him a message." We've been dating for 4 and a half months now. FML
Today, my girlfriend broke up with me over the phone, after having left me to look after her dog while she went on a 2-week vacation with her family. Now I have to choose between paying for a kennel for her damn dog or taking care of it every day until she gets back. FML
Today, my boyfriend of 3 years called my house even though I was with him at the time. He needed to talk to my mom. He asked her to break up with me for him. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I broke up. He now argues that he should keep the dog. We only dated for three months, and I've had the dog since I was ten. FML
Today, my girlfriend broke up with me because her mom said she would buy her a pug if she did. I got dumped for a dog, and an ugly one for that matter. FML
Today, my girlfriend dumped me because her dog "told her to". FML
Today, my boyfriend of 6 months broke up with me. I was crying for over an hour in my room. My dad came in and asked what was wrong. Just as I was about to tell him, he stops me and simply says, "Oh, honey. I don't care… Just keep the noise down." Then walks out. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I'd take the dog too. Dogs are loyal, you never know when a relationship can go to hell.

Op didn't give a lot of information, did her boyfriend already have the dog before they were together ? Or did his mom say he could have a dog if he dumped her ? If he already had the dog, I totally understand and would have done the same. If it's the later, that just sucks and he wasn't worth it anyways..

...how?

haha that's kind of funny. agreed with 2. that sucks for you, but dogs are awesome. dogs love their owners forever no matter what. you only get that with one person, usually. so his mom made him choose which means you two are young and his mom dislikes you. so you have plenty of time to find someone that you can buy a dog with. :) unless you don't like or are allergic to dogs. haha

this sounds a lot like an FML a couple of weeks ago except it was the girl who broke up with the guy and the dog was ugly

How the **** is loving a dog more then your girlfriend shallow, enless he only chose the dog because it has bigger ****.

you must be in middle school which means you were going to break up before Christmas anyway so it really doesn't matter

If his mother can force him to break up with his girlfriend he must not be very old, and therefore you musn't be very old, a relationship between people that young couldn't last...
