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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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?

It happens more often than you think. Whining to the Internet isn't going to help your situation. Spend time away from home. it'll get better eventually.

I feel your pain. My parents still lived together, after divorce, when they were both dating other people. Talk about awkward.

I hope you haven't announced which parent you'd prefer to live with. Mothers' Day or Fathers' Day is going to be real uncomfortable for the loser. You might just want to set a match to the place and split the insurance money. A baking project gone awry (or "a rye" if you are into artisan flours ;) ) can provide a good cover to hide an arson-for-profit scheme. I won't tell if you don't.

I've been living this way for 2 years. You get used to it.

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.

Thanks, Foe! It's been pretty tough. My parents are usually at least somewhat civil, but sometimes it gets...Really bad. Sadly, my mom is keeping the house and my dad doesn't have any friends to stay with and my grandma (his mom) doesn't have room for him to stay with her...So we'll all just have to sit tight and wait it out until financial stuff is less tough.

Ugh, yeah, it's a tough market. Some day this will just be something you look back on as a dim memory and in the meantime, I guess you get tips on how to be handle yourslkf under pressure. Best of luck to you and your family.

That's where having parents gets you. Next time, you'll know better and won't repeat the mistake of having parents. Also, just think: if you didn't live in a house, then you wouldn't be in this situation either. So, sorry to say, Nerds, but you brought this on yourself :(

What would that smell like? Forced laughter, laugh tracks, regurgitated gaffs and lines don't have scent if I recall...
