Today, six months have passed since my parents announced that they're getting a divorce. We're all still awkwardly living together because we haven't been able to sell our house yet. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, a year after we agreed to a divorce, my wife and I are still married and living together because it's not financially possible for us to split. We get along well enough, but I'm ready to move on. She's already moving on, according to the boyfriend she's been seeing for months. FML
Today, my parents have separated. I stayed with them, living at home far too long for my own comfort, just to help them keep it together after they lost their remaining parents. Literally the month after I moved out, they decided it wasn't worth it. I now suspect they stayed together only because I still lived at home. 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, I moved in with my friend and her husband so we can be roommates during school. Today is also the day they decided to get a divorce. It's going to be a long year. FML
Today, I found out about my parent's divorce over Facebook from my sister who lives 8 hours away in another province. They made the decision 3 weeks ago. I live with my parents. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I moved into our own house. He proceeded to invite his parents to stay for the week. The same parents we've lived with for the past 5 years. FML
Today, I got a call from my parents that they have decided to get a divorce. My brothers and I just shelled out $5,000 each and spent months planning their 50th Anniversary party that was supposed to be next month. FML
Today, my parents told me they're getting a divorce because of all the strain caused by me nearly dying in an accident. FML
Today, my parents happily announced that they're getting remarried. They divorced because of the strain brought on by me nearly dying in a car accident. So basically they put us through all that shit, including me blaming myself for everything, for nothing. FML
Today, I found out that after moving in with my mother and her boyfriend into his place two months ago, she's breaking up with him, and leaving me stuck with him. Awkward. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

they should have thought that through

#60 Yes, they should have thought it through. But is it my fault that they didn't? Nope.

Whats not to get? Her parents are getting or have gotten a divorce, but they're still living together, which makes it awkward.

I like how a half-assed laugh was included anyway. Liked as it was a classic fail.

What isn't to get? It's obvious that there is a passionate, yet thwarted, love between the mother and father taking place in a Yorkshire manor on the moors, and this unresolved infatuation will eventually destroy their lives and the lives of those around them.

Whoever got the house in the divorce should kick the other person out

It's likely that they got half each.

Ah, I'm sorry, nerds. Is everyone at least being civil? Neither of your parents are able to get a room or stay with friends? Tough. FYL.

Geez, six months is a bit long to be in that kind of a situation. Good luck.

One of my closest friends is going through the same exact thing. You're not alone.

If they really hated each other so much, then someone would have been forced to get kicked out.

Who says they hate each other? Hate is not the only reason for divorce.

#21 You are so right, Foe. They don't hate each other, they just don't love each other anymore and don't get along very well.

Nerds - Wow. I can only imagine what it's like in your house... the divorce between my parents went through rather quickly and dad left the day they decided they'd divorce, so I didn't experience what you are/did. I have tons of sympathy for you!

Alright, this has nothing to do with the FML (sorry about that nerds), but for whoever is wondering and/or going to comment about what OP means, just move your mouse over the blue ribbon with a star right next to nerds comment. There, it will say what OP means. So now, you won't have to waste another comment trying to figure out what OP means, where everyone (including me) will give you a ridiculously wrong answer. Again, sorry about your parents divorce, nerds.

It's very true, this FML, (my deepest, most sincere apologies to you, Katie.) it becomes very awkward in a home when two or more people clearly are no longer happy to be with each other, when I was younger my parents divorced and you could just tell it was coming from the way they acted months before.
