Today, my girlfriend found a letter I'd written to myself for moral support while we were broken up, in which I explained why we would never work out. Apparently I made a convincing argument. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I wrote my girlfriend a song. She wrote me a 13-page letter on why we should break up. FML
Today, I wrote the girl I love a long, gushy letter to convince her to be with me instead of her abusive ex. Later on, I asked her what she thought. She said she can't read cursive. She chose the ex. FML
Today, I wrote a long, loving and emotional Christmas letter to my girlfriend, leaving it for her to read when she woke up. Halfway through the day, I received a text stating that she saw my "breakup letter" and threw out all my stuff. I can't even contact her now. FML
Today, my girlfriend broke up with me by putting a Post-it note on my locker that said, "Consider yourself dumped." FML
Today, I sent my girlfriend a nice "Good morning" text after I woke up. Then I found a paper note stuck to my bedroom door, in which she broke up with me. FML
Today, I found out my ex had been writing about our relationship to Postsecret. Apparently, she'd been sorry and wanted me back if I still loved her. I have absolutely no idea what she's talking about. I left after 8 months of unreturned texts, calls, emails, and meet-ups. FML
Today, after I got dumped a few months ago, I wrote a love letter to win her back. Romantic, right? She didn't think so. She called the cops. Now I may lose my job and my pension, and have to start life over at 40. FML
Today, I was planning on breaking up with my girlfriend of five years in two days time. She just mailed me a care package that said, "I'd die without you." FML
Today, my girlfriend broke up with me through a text message. In retaliation, I started typing a long list of everything I hate about her. Just as I pressed the send button, she text me again saying "Just joking. You know I'd never leave you. Love you babe :)" FML
Today, my girlfriend broke up with me because "we don't communicate enough". She got her friend to tell me this for her. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Why would you keep that ?
Pleonasm 36
YDI for having it somewhere she could find it even though you are back together. A place in your life like that should be put behind you unless you hadn't moved on from that part of you that didn't want to be with her. If you did want to be with her and were attached to the letter still, you should have known to get rid of it lest this happen.

Or become a lawyer?

Or throw the damn thing away

Except maybe he needs to be reminded again so he should probably keep it.

EMTchic 14
That's exactly what I was thinking... What would be the point of keeping that if you got back together?
lexi365 20
Just in case they broke up again I'm assuming.
JACKxRAWR 22
#42, couldn't he just make another one? I know if that was me I'd have gotten rid of it.
kissiy6 15
Maybe he just put it somewhere and forgot about it? Bottom of a pile of papers or something

I have a feeling that "letter to myself" is code for "diary".
gc327072 31
^yea, and fears such as these are what made me tear out the pages of my diary and permanently shelve it.
randomthing 22
You should have thrown it out :P

i don't get it. is it the one with place being put somewhere?

Still, the girlfriend could realize that he wrote it to help himself in a time of need and that he very much probably doesn't mean what he said. But of course, like you said, he could still be attached to the letter. I'd like to think that maybe he just forgot or misplaced the letter and so couldn't get rid of it once he changed his mind though.

You should have written a letter about the importance of ******** and steak.

At least you're a good writer. Capitalize on it! With your girlfriend, though, explain that you were full of emotions and such- try to work it out!
Faff 20
You don't know that. maybe she broke up with him for his bad writing!
ry24 12
Neither of your comments make much sense, her breaking up with him had nothing to do with either his penmanship or the content of his writing, it was probably the fact that he had a paper stating why their relationship wouldn't have worked out in the first place

And maybe, just maybe they're not being 100% serious.
Marmarfarfar 25
Well atleast you still have the letter to make you feel better.
MissMess 12
And can I just say, 'a wrote'? Proofread anyone?
rg350dx 29
That's not the only grammatical error, but it's definitely the most glaring.
rhcpgurl 18
And you kept it because...?
RevenVx 16
I'm more curious to why he went back to her if he knew they wouldn't work out.
RedPillSucks 33
Some people try to justify to themselves why it's a good thing they're not in a relationship with their ex. But on the sperm of the moment, getting back together can be great (makeup sex, etc).
crazytwinsmom 25
I'm wondering if 'sperm of the moment' was intended as a pun or was just a typo. Either way, it's funny.
imagineapc 11
Yes, 29. My thoughts exactly. Op convinced himself it wouldn't work out but tried again anyway?
RedPillSucks 33
sperm of the moment was an intentional but not original pun
tommyfox 19
I wonder if its grammar was as terrible as is in this FML.
Pleonasm 36
You mean spelling right? It's a typo.
Ukeee_X 19
You gotta remove evidence man! Or follow your own opinion through and don't get back with her.
PenguinBitch 44
*again.
Dairyking 8
Correct me if I'm wrong, PenguinBitch, but doesn't saying "get BACK with her" mean the same as "get with her AGAIN"? Or am I just missing something?
chimocho 8
Pretty sure he means because they'd already broken up and got back together. So they would be getting back together /again/ after this breakup.
