Today, my husband and I announced our upcoming divorce. My friends told me how sorry they were and that they're available for whatever I need. His friends told him to just call the girl from last weekend and get himself laid again. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my husband, who I love more than anything, announced that he was gay, couldn't live a lie anymore, and moved out of the house. I'm utterly devastated, and when I tried to cry to my friends, they said I should celebrate his courage and stop being selfish, then ran off to party with him. FML
Today, my boyfriend proposed. I was about to call my parents and tell them we're getting married, but they called me first to announce they're getting a divorce. FML
Today, my husband of 30 years told me that he thought we should 'just be friends'. FML
Today, my supposed "best friend" started going out with the girl I'd just split up with, immediately after she said she wanted to see other people. FML
Today, I got a call from the guy I'd been seeing for a few weeks. It was his wife calling to find out what was going on with us. He told me he was separated. He left his kids home alone to hook up with me. FML
Today, my parents told me, after 30 years of marriage, that they are getting a divorce. I went to my boyfriend's apartment because I needed some comfort. While sobbing to him, he decided to dump me on the spot because my reaction to the news was "immature" and he wants an "adult" relationship. FML
Today, I got a message from an old friend’s wife. She said they were having a reunion at their place and invited me to come. She spent the whole night trying to get me to hook up with him! She wanted out of the marriage and thought that if she could get him to cheat, she’d get a divorce. FML
Today, I received a text message from my wife, who had gone out for the evening with some girlfriends, saying, "I have to take a friend home, she's drunk! I'll be staying at his place. Call you in the morning." Umm… His? FML
Today, I found out my husband is still friends with someone who talks a lot of crap about me. FML
Today, my husband of nearly a decade told me he's been sleeping with his best friend for a year, and also a couple times with my best friend. Marriage destroyed. Life in shambles. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Aaaaand... this is exactly why you're divorcing him. People like him and his friends really don't deserve to be with anyone.

Maybe the husband is just misunderstood. OP said 'announced'... meaning they may have made the decision ages ago but are now only officially telling their friends. And naturally, he's been sampling the field already.

Maaaaaaan SHUTUP!!!!

Yeah I agree. Of course my wife just informed me we are getting divorced too. So maybe I'm just jaded.

Easiest way to get over one person is getting under the next!!!
MoodyBlue320 11
And yet somehow, it's gays who ruin the sanctity of marriage...
iMuffinKat 16
...I don't get it. Why does OP even care what her ex husband's friends say? Am I missing something?

Of course, their whole marriage should obviously end. It is easy to point blame at the last person to screw up. Sometimes, divorce happens. But I have never heard of a divorce where one party was 100% innocent. If they were so great to be married to, why would someone cheat on them?
greekgal44 14
exactly. theres no point in getting married if youre just gonna cheat again
PeteyPablo12308 20
26 because some people don't know how else to live.. Only a cheater would say that it's the other persons fault that they cheated. I know many cheaters and victims alike who had or gave no good reason for why they cheated or were cheated on.

26 - my parents broke up for this exact reason. My dad would continually cheat, use drugs, spend out money on going out etc. Her fault was wanting him to grow up and, I don't know, be a father?? She was forced to be in sole control of the finances because my dad could not be trusted with money. So yes, she obviously deserved the heartbreak of a failed marriage and feeling worthless like she wasn't good enough etc. Jerk.

^ I am so sorry. I also agree. Did my mother deserve to be screamed at and berated my dad every day for 20 years? Did she deserve have no control over her OWN money and be screamed at whenever she purchased something not on sale? Did she deserve to be yelled at for "not doing enough for the family" by a man who would sit on his ass several hours a day watching tv while she worked full time and cared for her children? Did she deserve to watch her daughter (me) become suicidal and self injure due to her father making her feel worthless, then when she gained the courage to help her daughter escape the abuse did she deserve to be threatened that she'll be sued and never see her children or house again? Did she deserve to never know what it's like to find true love and happiness in this life? I don't mean to sound rude or angry, my point is that sometimes unfortunately some spouses are terrible towards the other spouse and one side really is innocent? It isn't fair.

You may have been unable to see the forrest because the trees were in the way. There is obviously such thing as being too close to a situation to be an impartial observer. Point is, a child is in no position to properly deal with someones marriage. As long as both parties are of sound mind, they can work it out. And by the way, more men are in abusive marriages then you give them credit for. Every 21 seconds a woman is abused, and every 38 seconds a man is abused. So don't act like men are the only ones being in the wrong.
tiarnatargaryen 23
Neither of us ever said that men deserved to be cheated on and women never cheat. Nor did we say that men never get abused. We just pointed out that no, people do not 'deserve' to be cheated on. Do you think people deserve to be lied to and decieved? Is that their fault too?
yourlifesucksHA 14
Wow thanks captain obvious -_-
evilplatypus 39
Congratulations wldd0g; you are the problem and not the solution.
aok0989 10
26 so you're seriously saying that a person must have done something wrong to be cheated on? I'm sure you think that when someone is abused by their spouse, they deserved it too. Or if someone is raped, they provoked the rapist. Sometimes there are people who are innocent. If someone gets drunk at a bar one night and cheats on their spouse, how is the spouse to blame at all?
babeababe 16
I'm not saying that its ok for anyone to treat someone that way. But it is to an extent their own fault if they choose to stay and put up with it. At least OP is smart enough to remove herself from the situation. No, it's not ok for him to cheat on her, but good for her for leaving him.

Has anyone ever heard the phrase, "You have to admit there is a problem before you can solve it"? When it comes to divorse, BOTH sides are at fault. One way or another. There are no "Winners".
FluffyWizdom 15
you're obviously better off without him

Are you dumb, all women need a man to support them

I was going to chew you a new one, but then I read your profile and thumbed you up just as a **** you.

I had extreme déjà vu when reading this after reading comment #2.

Nah, I just spoke to the oracle and she told me the Matrix was fine, and to look at the times they were posted.
Pleonasm 36
Yea I know, 1 -- Your friends aren't hooking you up? You need better friends, OP.
MichellinMan 20
What! My damn friends hook me up all the time! Just not in the middle of a ******* divorce.

No need to retire so soon.

Don't get over inflated 18, he was just saying.

He can retire, just keep it wheel.

Dear me, look what I've done...
Pleonasm 36
^No pun? Oh dear, looks like we've got a flat. Good thing I always keep a spare on me, if you catch my drift. Just skidding.

Tyre jokes are hilAIRious, but tread carefully, or you might find yourself tyring of them easily.

I facepalm at your general direction.
NurseJonathan 9
I-I'm sorry. Do you mistake me for someone who would hold up a friend of mine who'd go and cheat? I'd personally would find it dishonorable and if he wanted any help I'd bluntly tell him to "piss off"
redjoni33 4
Bull shit!!!
clueless05 12
I guess all women will just have to become lesbians then
waffule365 16
Two very different ways of getting a break up. sorry that your ex chose the hurtful way.
bazingabitches 17
Well at least your getting divorced so you can be done with him.
daminantion 14
You--- no I'm done wasting mind power trying to fix the next generation.. Grammatical infallibility and Justin Bieber.. What's next, Morpheus and Trinity calling the last few sane people to get out of the nightmare?
SirCharles83 13
I have the feeling that 7 and 31 are from the same generation.
EpicSquishii 21
Do you know what infallibility is? Methinks the answer is no.
caitlinrawrr 9
31 - I think you need to consult a dictionary.
Llamacod 11
Wait, what about op's getting divorced and you can be done with him and, what exactly, is a getting divorced and you can be done with him. Is it something everyone should own like an ipod?
wjh100 13
generation y or millinia is like 83 to 2004 I doubt said generation basher is over 30 and I doubt #7 or whatever is under 9 so you're bashing your own kind bro
monnanon 14
i thought a generation was the children of yhe previous gen. i suppose that would be hard to work out though since not everyone has kids at the same age
zoPwNAgEzo 21
Now you should have no doubt at all about this divorce.
BronayPonay 6
Wow I can see why you're getting. Divorce.

a divorce *

This is not an FML. This is good news. You finally get to drop the dead weight, and if I were you I would get proof of infidelity. That can often skew the results of the divorce in your favor.
