Today, my boyfriend threw out my old voicemail recorder, thinking it was junk. My father passed away years ago. I kept a recording of the last voicemail he'd left me on it so I'd always remember his voice. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my father got married. He left me a voicemail to tell me all about it. FML
Today, my boyfriend broke up with me by rapping in a voicemail. FML
Today, I ran up to my boyfriend and gave him a kiss. I didn't understand why the girl next to him got upset, but it turns out the voicemail I deleted by accident was him breaking up with me. FML
Today, my dad got a new phone and put me on speed dial. I have received several voice mails from him accidentally dialed. They are from him riding the train, in a meeting, having lunch, and, most recently, him taking a monstrous dump. FML
Today, I was going to record a song I wrote for my dad, who I haven't spoke to in a couple of years. After getting things together, I called my mom to let her know I'd be doing this. She informed me he died. A year ago. FML
Today, my boyfriend sent me a text saying to call him. When I did, it went straight to voicemail. It was a recording of him breaking up with me. He broke up with me over the phone, without even talking to me. FML
Today, after we got home from the doctor's office, my mom checked the voicemail. Loud and clear, we both heard my boyfriend's break-up message. My parents had already forbidden me from dating. FML
Today, I asked my father if I could have my grandfather's old vinyls, record player, and vintage tube radio. He told me he threw those out years ago because, "Who listens to that crap anymore, now that we have mp3s?" FML
Today, I took out my phone and realized I butt dialed my girlfriend and left her a 4 minute voicemail of me farting in an echoing toilet bowl. FML
Today, I found my 6-year-old daughter recording herself on her little tape recorder. When I asked her what she was up to, she replied in her cute little voice, "I'm recording myself so you'll have a souvenir when I'm dead." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

And that's when you dump the idiot for throwing something of yours out before asking first. -.-

#1, Except when you are literally talking about shit. You ought to be happy that someone gets rid of that.

Yea I know right!

I wouldn't just be sad, I'd be pissed. Things like that aren't replaceable, and he had no right to touch OP's stuff.

@70: Wow, really? Just get another SNES and N64 off of Ebay. Short of recording a séance session with her father, OP is not going to be able to replace that recording.

FMLs aren't exactly cheery #58. My condolences Op, I hope you still have other things you can remember him by, memories are most important.

You seem new to fml, 115, so that must be why you missed the fact that in general, fmls are lighthearted, laugh-cuz-I-understand, relatable, and even cringe-inducing, but seldom truly saddening. I remember an old one (2009 maybe?) regarding mental abuse that was really bad. There have only been a few.

So sorry for your loss...remember the memories and talk about him. It will keep him alive in your life.

Hopefully you have some home videos to remember him by and can hear his voice that way

Sorry OP, I don't think he would have done that on purpose...
OhDearBetrayal 25
Yeah, I mean I wouldn't wish that on anyone.
Roskie 16
Even if it wasn't on purpose, why is OP's boyfriend throwing out OP's things?
Bcfrmkc816 17
The heck he did he did do it on purpose why is he throwing your stuff out anyway?
PimpdaddyCJT 13
You will always have memories but sometimes they aren't enough. Sorry :(
Rue22 16
Sorry for your loss, OP. That's horrible. I hope he feels sorry

theres been a few really sad fml posts lately, just remember all the good times you had with him OP, there should be more to remember him by then just his voice although losing that connection is awful
Selphis 20
This is a really sad FML, I'm sorry for your loss, and I hope you'll cherish his memory forever! But maybe you should have shared the existence of this recorder with your boyfriend, I'm not saying he's right in throwing it out though...

You should dump him, I mean, he threw away something that belonged to you without asking first. It's disrespectful, and if he doesn't respect you, he's not right.

Although I don't approve going through someone else's stuff and deciding for them what can and cannot be tossed, it's hardy a reason to break up with 'm. Don't be so rash. I'm pretty sure OP's boyfriend's feeling bad about it now he knows what it meant to OP and will be more attentive in the future. I'm sorry for your loss OP.

I really hate when people immediately jump to "Dump him!" I'm sure he wasn't trying to hurt her. Maybe he just isn't the brightest crayon in the box in that he didn't even ask if it was okay to throw it out. FYL, OP.

I actually agree. Even if it was an accident that might be a deal breaker for me. Not because of blame but because I don't know if I could 100% get over it.

Really? Just dump him? Do YOU know how long they were together? Nopr. They were obviously together long enough for him to feel comfortable removing what he thinks is junk (though it's not right). Maybe they were moving in together. Maybe they already WERE living together.

There is such a thing on basing movies on real life.
