Today, the day before I was going to move in with my army fiancé, he was told he would be deployed very soon. I can't pay for the apartment without him, and now have to move back in with my parents until he returns from active duty. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I found out that my fiancé is going to be deployed on our wedding day. FML
Today, I packed up to get ready to move to my boyfriend’s. I just graduated high school and I don’t get along with his mom, but I have no other choice of living. I was supposed to move in with his family tomorrow but now his mom won’t let me. It was last minute, and I’m basically homeless. FML
Today, I caught a flight to see my boyfriend, who is stationed in the army 300 miles away. When I was just 15 minutes from the base he called to say that we should break up. Now I'm heading back to California, single and broke. FML
Today, my boyfriend came home from a two week vacation and told me I needed to move out. FML
Today, I'm seven months into a twelve month deployment. I called my fiancée, and she dumped me. The worst part is that two days ago, I re-enlisted to go to a unit an hour away from her house. FML
Today, I just got a new assignment for the moving company I work for. Two weeks ago my fiancé dumped me and I moved out of the house. Almost all of the furniture was mine and it took forever. The new moving assignment I have is moving her new boyfriend into my old house. FML
Today, my fiancé's mother made him pack his stuff and move to Montana while I was at work. I came home to a half-written note because she wouldn’t let him finish. We own a house together. 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 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
Today, I learned that my husband is getting deployed for we don’t know how long, and I’ll be left all alone, in a different country far away from home. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

boo-*******-hoo. You're not even a military wife yet and you already have the entitlement attitude. You knew what his job is before you accepted his marriage proposal. Put your big girl panties on, maybe get a job, and take care of yourself.

All of you military wives saying you're not civilians... yeah, you are. You think its difficult being married to a service member? Try being a service member yourself, with a service member for a partner, especially if you're not married and in different branches. We deal with twice as much shit.

First off if they're not married he will not receive any BAH, so that's not a consideration. Second, she has every right to be upset about having to move in with her parents until he gets back. Both my wife and I were Sergeants in the Army, and I have been an Army spouse since I received my Med Discharge and what the people have to go through waiting for their loved ones to get back is not trivial. To just say "Oh boo hoo it's nothing compared to what he has to go through" is ignorant and cruel. Most likely you've never served in the Military and have no idea what it's really like for either the ones that deploy or the ones that stay back. Having experience with both, they are equally stressful and hard to deal with. Just sitting and waiting for someone you love to come back from a war zone is hard enough without you tools making her feel bad for worrying about what she has to deal with. While my wife was deployed she was actually more concerned that I was handling things ok, that's how it should be, each one concerned about the other equally. They're different types of issues, that doesn't mean one is more relevant or more serious. If he cares about her enough to marry her he should be concerned with what she has to deal with while he's gone, he shouldn't put his own problems before hers nor should hers be put before his but they are both relevant. He voluntarily joined the Military, he knew the risks and knew it could mean he would die thousands of miles from home so it's not like he wasn't prepared, same as countless others. No one that did the same should use that as an excuse to put their own issues or problems above someone they love. I highly suggest you get married before he leaves, just go to a courthouse and get it done. When he gets back then you can have a ceremony but it's more important that you are legally married before he goes. The majority of these people have no idea what they're talking about, make sure you're taken care of because it's going to be a very hard time for you while he's gone. I wish you and your fiance the best and hope he comes home safe.

It sucks that he's being deployed...but OP seems more concerned about not getting her own apartment than his deployment. At least she has parents to fall back on...I'm sure they feel SO appreciated that she's complaining about that on FML...
