Today, my newly ex-fiancé, the father of my 5-year-old child, moved out of state with no warning. I just spent my last $500 paying off his car, and the rent is due tomorrow. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my boyfriend moved out and took all his things with him. He also took some things that didn't belong to him, namely my rent money. My landlord comes tomorrow. FML
Today, my ex-husband stopped paying his child support so when I phoned to threaten him with lawyers, he didn’t care. Apparently, he lost his job months ago and has been paying me out of his savings, but now he has absolutely nothing left I can take away from him. Now I feel bad. FML
Today, my boyfriend told me he’d have a surprise for me when I got home. The surprise was he’d moved out, dumped me, and cut me off from his share of the bills, because he’s not interested in marriage and babies. I can’t afford the rent by myself so I’m going to have to move back to my mother's. FML
Today, my fiancé of over 5 years and I split, since I don't want kids and he does, which I have told him throughout our relationship. It gets better: we live in a house that his father owns and his father wants me out… in a fucking week. FML
Today, my tiny apartment flooded. My family lives out of state and the few friends I have all gave me B.S. excuses for why I can't stay over for a few nights. I'm so broke this month that I'll probably have to hit up my psycho ex. FML
Today, three days before their rent was due, my fiancé's friends moved out of our basement without saying a word to us. On their way out, they took an envelope from my locked desk with $800 in it that was for our wedding in six months. FML
Today, my friend informed me that I’m not moving in with him anymore, and that his sister is taking my place. Unfortunately, I'd finally gathered the money and a car to move out of state with him. Just when I thought I was going to get away from this hellhole, I’m sinking further into never leaving. FML
Today, my boyfriend of 4 years, whom I just signed a year lease, broke up with me, exactly a week after my best friend's funeral in my last year of college. I can't afford to live in our apartment alone. I'm going to have to drop out and move in with my sister states away. FML
Today, my girlfriend broke up with me after my check cleared for my half of the $1000 deposit on our new apartment. FML
Today, my girlfriend broke it off with me when she realized I can no longer treat her to expensive gifts and meals. My ex-wife is bleeding me dry with child support payments, I can no longer afford the lifestyle I used to have. She won’t take me back. Now I’m totally single and broke. FML

Jerk. No one should leave their child and former love high and dry like that.

What a ******* douchebag! You have a kid and he just left like that!? I really don't ******* get people like this and I swear if I knew him I would enjoy slowly disecting his testicles. I'm really sorry but at least you realized it and let him go. I really wish the best for you and your kid.

Who said OP was high?

Some people just shouldn't have children.

I have a 5 year old and nothing could make me move away from him

I'm with 22, a lot of couples (married and not) that I know try to split up bills, especially if there is differing pay days. Maybe this month she was on car duty and he was on rent duty. But instead he decided to get his car paid off and bail.

Why did you spend your money paying for your ex's car, when you knew your rent was due? His shit=his responsibility. :/

The way I understood it, was that they were still together until he up, and left them. I don't think she knew at the time.
MrSassypants 34
I think she had no clue what was going to happen and since he now did that she is now calling him her ex.

#4 and #6 - Even so, why spend money on a car when the rent is due? Sorry, but housing is more important than transport, especially when you have a kid.
landcfan 6
Maybe he was expecting a paycheck at the end of the month, but they had to pay off the car slightly before that? OP, please clarify! Best of luck to you, by the way. And time to sue for child support!
MrSassypants 34
Some people just do things without thinking ahead. Sure, the home would have been a wiser choice but that's not what she chose.
whosindahouse 9
Maybe she was going to pay for the car and the ex was going to get a paycheck the next day and pay for the rent?
crazytwinsmom 25
Sounds like he was using her lately and counting the months til the car was paid for, 5 year loan?

12 - I'm happy to see someone thinks like me :) Sure, poor OP but it's not like the guy stole the money. She's supposed to be a responsible adult for her child. OP shouldn't take such risks as lending money right before rent is due and should save some money in case of emergencies. So, in fact, poor kid...

We can play the maybe game all we want fact is OP's ex is a douche bag

I'm with 3. I can't even fathom a parent leaving their child and fiancee with zero explanation. That kid is most likely going to have some serious daddy and men issues.

That comment, my friend, works as a sufficient reply to any FML, no matter how irrelevant, simply because of your profile picture.

OP, you shouldn't have paid his car. He's the father of your child... The least he can do is pay for his own car!
skittlestrailmix 14
Nothing wrong with paying his car bills. Families often split bills. I know my dad pays for both his and my moms car payments and my mom pays for both of their cell bills. The ex boyfriend is just a jerk and OP found herself in a bad situation.
DomDomxoxo 16
Yeah, you're right. I guess it depends on the situation.
sulitak 27
yeah, I was going to say, my husband and I split bills based on who gets paid when :)

Wow. I hope you find a way to make rent. This is why I don't want to get married or have kids, people are assholes.

Unless he goes to a loan place but those are the devil's bane(ran out of editing time).

I guess we should all go around driving drunk too, because not every drunk driver gets in an accident or gets pulled over, some make it there safely. If something has a high enough probability of majorly ******* up your life, it's best to avoid it.
CharresBarkrey 16
69 - You're choosing to not get married or have kids because it might possibly mess up your life or end badly? That's pretty stupid. And having a family is not even comparable to driving drunk because "not every drunk driver gets in an accident."
the_true_batman 10
Nope, it's the same thing. I don't want to **** up my life, so I'm avoiding marriage and kids. Women manage to **** up my life enough without these things.

That was cruel of him. I wish you and your child the best. You will make it through OP.

I wish you luck! No one should leave their partner with no way to make ends meet like that. Tell the landlord you can't make it because of your ex fiancé, I'm sure s/he'll understand.
psuedodragon 23
Maybe not though. When I had a landlord I needed to pay with a check that I post-dated for the last day rent was payable (because I couldn't get in that day and my paycheck wasn't in early enough to pay in advance). I had been living there for a while and the landlord still charged me a "late fee" because "cashing a cheque takes more time and won't get done on the day rent is due". I felt it was totally unfair and moved out shortly after that. (Swallowed my pride and moved back in with my parents -maybe that's something OP should consider doing?)
landcfan 6
Wait, was he already your ex, or is he your ex now that he left? Were you renting the place together? Hopefully the landlord isn't totally cold-hearted, and will work something out with you.
