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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

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.

I'm sorry this happened to you and your kid, OP. Hopefully you'll get things straightened out soon. Good luck.

What a terrible thing for a man to do, such a copout!

If you had to pay for him it's because he had no money so how do you expect him to have any the next day to pay rent? Not that it's impossible but you're taking risks. Since you have a kid to take care of, you can't afford taking risks anymore. What are you going to do when your child gets sick? You should always keep a reasonable amount of money in your bank account for emergencies and things like.. Food maybe? That being said, f*** your kid's life.

It didn't say they paid the car payment that exact day it says they just paid it meaning recently

Right, because we all can just stash away money, and none of us live pay check to pay check. Don't blame OP for that cumguzzlers actions, he ****** up by leaving not her!

The guy's a jerk that's no doubt but OP is way too nice or just naive. Plus, when you have a child, you should be responsible enough to take care of them and provide the essentials (food, shelter, etc). My first reaction was to think the ex is an asshole but when I thought about it, it makes no sense not keeping 500$ on the side when you have such responsibilities. I'm pretty sure I'm right saying f* the kid's life considering his dad abandoned him and his mom can't pay rent.

28 - even if it isn't the exact next day it's still close to it because she says "just" so op shouldn't spend it on the car when she knows she will have to pay rent soon. Plus, I would be surprised it's the first time the guy is acting like a jerk because what he did is pretty extreme. Hopefully, OP will learn from it and never take him back in her life for the sake of her child.

It's very cute and nice saying "awww OP, poor you he's a jerk" but it's not going to help her take better decisions in the future.

My ex did the exact same thing. Then tried to take the kids when I was still in a homeless shelter. Didn't work so well. He now doesn't even see them.

He is a douche.

Oh you weren't married to the child's father? That's a poor choice.

Marriage doesn't stop a spouse from running out on their responsibilities.

And it doesn't solve existing problems. Way to be judgmental dude!
traveler_ghost 12
poor kid, no dad. on the brighter side, he won't be raised by a douche bag of a father
traveler_ghost 12
also, you need to be thinking ahead of time, you have a child. that man is a coward and not even a man at all. best wishes, OP

Forward me his contact information, OP. I have a scalpel, local anesthetic, and an intimate knowledge of the male anatomy. I might even forget to use the local anesthetic.

I hope your scalpel is dull.

I have a nice rusty spoon you can use if you don't wanna get your scalpel dirty Doc.
