Today, my husband surprised me by cooking a romantic dinner. I asked him why the sudden gesture. His response? "The cable was out." FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I called my wife to tell her I finally found a job after 6 months. A man answered the phone claiming to be the cable guy. We cut our cable off when I was laid off 6 months ago. FML
Today, I was going to surprise my partner with a romantic dinner, but when I got home I realized I had forgotten the main ingredient: the food. FML
Today, the power was out. I tried to explain to my boyfriend that he wouldn't be able to watch any TV until the power came back on. His response was, "But we have Netflix." FML
Today, the power went out in my area. My wife and I were bored so I lit some candles, poured some wine, and left little to her imagination about what my intent was. We cuddled a while and as I leaned in for a kiss the power came back on. She was more excited that the WiFi was back than anything. FML
Today, my husband came home from the hospital after having painful surgery, so I decided to make him a nice big breakfast. As I was taking it up to him, I heard a message on the phone. It was from one of his nurses. She was accepting his offer of a date. FML
Today, I decided to surprise my husband by bringing home a case of beer and renting us a porno. He decided to surprise me by telling me he was leaving me for his pregnant girlfriend. FML
Today, my always over-emotional husband burst into sobs when I thanked him for making me lunch. Apparently, I did not compliment his cooking enough. He microwaved me a Hot Pocket; it was still frozen in the middle. FML
Today, I decided to surprise my girlfriend by cooking her dinner. I spent hours preparing and making sure everything was perfect. I lit candles, set the table, and even put on some soft music. When she came home, she'd already eaten and wasn't hungry. FML
Today, the cable repairman came to fix my cable, which has never worked well. The entire time he was talking about how much extra money he got the "fat bitch who moved here 6 months ago" to pay for her cable. I moved in 6 months ago. I was pregnant. FML
Today, I called my husband and asked him what he wanted from our favorite fast food place. A divorce. FML

Maybe the cable should be out more often

Right?! Who cares why? At least he cared enough to make you a nice romantic dinner in the first place

Exactly he could have chose to go out to the bar or hang out w his friends or go mow the yard but instead he did something nice for u.. So appreciate it!!

The cable might not have gone out, either. He may have just been telling a joke.

Shame. He could've gotten so many bonus points with that.

He was probably bored and just wanted to have sex, and he figured the best way to get laid was by cooking you a romantic dinner.. Oh wait, that sounds like my husband.. Forget I said anything and be thankful that he at least thought of doing something sweet for you!

Shit husband you have there. :)

How is he a shit husband? He wants to have sex with his wife, so he cooks a romantic dinner to facilitate it. Sounds better than a lot of husbands who just expect sex from their wives no matter what.

I see my sarcasm went highly unnoticed. The smiley was just not enough... *facepalm* Well, Liz. Maybe next time.

Further proof that the Internet needs a sarcasm button.

Italics has always seemed pretty sarcastic.

If I were you, I would make the cable "go out" more often (:

In the future, don't question and just enjoy.
xXxIracebethxXx 14
That is if the cable goes out again... A man does need his TV! Especially if he's a sports junkie!

Man, people just can't handle your sarcasm! I fear for the future.

That sounds wonderful! A nice, quiet evening with a romantic dinner. Your husband should be on here complaining that you didn't appreciate the gesture. Not you complaining that he did something nice for you.

27. And it does sort of sound like complaining.

Alan, did you remove my post?

^ this guy lmao.

Yes, she is complaining, but people may have still missed the point.

So Alan, are you telling us that FML doesn't mean what we thought it meant? We thought the whole reason for coming here is to complain. It certainly didn't sound like she was bragging.
ratorr2 23
You're fighting a loosing battle, Alan.
Yourheadache 19
Ratorr, most of us use it to laugh about those crazy moments in our life that some of us can relate to, I agree with Alan, it does not seems like she was complaining.
KiddNYC1O 22
I think she's complaining indirectly about her husband's response...

If that's an FML for you consider yourself lucky
