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
Collection
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?

my parents lived together for almost a year and a half after they decided to get divorced. i moved out with my dad about 6 months ago, and my mum's house still hasn't sold. me and my dad are paying for her house as well as ours, because if we didn't, it'd get reposessed.

I kind of doubt anyone will read this, but oh well. :P Thank you to everyone who took the time to say kind things! I really do appreciate it. It's been tough, and it looks like it will continue to be tough for quite awhile. For those of you that are in the same situation as I am, I am truly sorry! I'm sad that you have to go through this, too. For those of you that are in the same situation as I am and decided that the best solution was to cuss me out and tell me to shut up and stop whining, F your lives-- not because you're in the situation, but because you seem to lack even an ounce of compassion. We could have offered each other advice, but instead you chose to lash out. That's your choice.

I did! :) I'm sorry to hear that it doesn't look like it'll get better soon :( I hope your new job pays enough so that you'll be able to get your own place soon!

I was thinking of posting this exact FML a year ago (as the same was happenin in my life), but then i figured it wasn't a big enough problem and no-one would really care. 6 months later, my mum had a stroke which left her paralysed, another 6 months later (present day) my parents are still divorced, living in the same house, my dad working taking up most of his time, his misses taking up the majority of the rest of his time, who he still denys her existance. And I'm a 19 year old at college 2 days a week, trying to find work the other 4-5 days, caring for my disabled mother. dont worry mate, it could be worse ;)

This is the first time when I see the OP's answers in the comments, and, well, I already came across the OP's profile before. It really can be very awkward, not only for you but mostly for them. Try to imagine loving someone for a long time, then having a great relationship problems and trying to deal with them for a long time (trying to save the family and so on), and then finally falling into divorce, and then... what? still living together! whooo. I'd like to never get through divorce, by the way.
