Today, my girlfriend of 3 years told me that I was part of an experiment for her Sociology doctorate. I also learned that the notebooks she's been writing in for the past three years aren't for her "doctorate in literature" as she had told me, they were notes on my behavior for the past 3 years. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my girlfriend of 3 years confessed that at first, she'd only dated me to get her friend jealous, and that even now, she "only kind of liked" me. I bought a ring only a few days ago, and was planning on proposing to her. FML
Today, after I'd spent $3,000 dollars in preparations to move in with my girlfriend of 2 and 1/2 years, she confessed she's a mental patient who stole someone else's identity. She was telling the truth. FML
Today, I volunteered to be a "mentally stable" person in a psychology experiment at my university. Little did I know, they'd paired me with a psychology grad student who asked me a series of increasingly bizarre and personal questions about my life. I ended up questioning my own sanity. FML
Today, I was having a deep conversation with a woman at a bus stop about philosophy. Little did I know, her boyfriend was rummaging through my purse while she kept my focus. I’m a PhD candidate in philosophy, and it was the best conversation I’d had it months. FML
Today, I filled out a political survey for a psychology experiment. A really cute girl was doing it, too. We hit it off and flirted through the surveys, and I asked her out when it was done. Then I found out it was really an attraction experiment and she was in on it. She was acting. FML
Today, my girlfriend, who I've loved and dated for over a year, confessed that she's actually straight as an arrow. All this time, she's basically been using me as an accessory to enhance her "social status" and make her guy friends horny. FML
Today, after complaining that I had nothing to write about in my weekly journal for college, my professor suggested in front of everyone that I should get a girlfriend. FML
Today, I learnt my boyfriend has just been using me for character development for the last 5 years. FML
Today, my girlfriend of nine months made a huge scene in public, calling me a "cheating bastard" because she saw me with another woman at the library. That "other woman" is my Calculus tutor. FML
Today, I found out that my girlfriend has been cheating on me with two different guys. Her incredibly moving excuse was that she was getting "more experience" so she could please me better. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

That's illegal... press charges?

Can't be an experiment because if it was, human subjects have to give prior consent. Want to get even, complain to the dean of students that you unwillingly were a human subject for her experiments, feel as though your rights were violated and want to talk to someone at the university about its policies. She'll be F'd.

Twilight Zone much?

I'll bet your sexual role-playing was a lot of the queen and the lusty stable-boy scenario. That way, she could call you "Subject" for the sake of the hidden microphones and cameras. Mr. Lyrics, this would be a good time for: "You don't have to call me 'darling,' darling. You never even called me by my name."

When are YOU going to submit an FML for me to laugh at? Huh?

When pigs fly? However, if that's the case, take a look at local airports. Swine can now earn Frequent Flyer Miles. (;

...meaning she only dated you as part of an experiment or what? That's the only way I'd see an FML here.

This is definitely a play. Though if it really happened that sucks.

See, the problem is that no reputable university would have accepted a study like this. It goes against practically the entire ethics code for psychological experiments. Without consent, there is no study, no doctorate. Hell, I had to get consent forms ready just to ask people to fill out a 1 page survey. This FML is very suspicious to me. Either she didn't disclosed the study to you, making her 3 years of work moot, OOOOOOOOOR it's fake. Or she is totally insane because nobody would approve a study like this. In any case, don't give consent, and bam, her study is ruined. Hell if you complained to the school you could probably get her thrown out for unethical conduct.

That's just the plot of the movie and play The Shape of Things with Paul Rudd.

Sucks for her--that thesis is NEVER going to get past her university's Ethics department. She's going to have to start all over. Feel better, dude.

very unethical. So college would approve this sort of study. The person being studied must give consent to being studied. You can get back at her Easily
