Today, while away on training with the army, my housemates rang me to tell me some news. They had found a perfect house for next year and they had put an offer on it. The only problem? There are 5 of us and the house is for 4. Guess who hasn't been included. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my three housemates got into a huge fight and ended up declaring their undying hatred for each other. They now refuse to talk to each other, and I've become their go-between. Yesterday, we signed the lease for another year in the house together. FML
Today, all of my roommates handed in their vacating notice unexpectedly. They are all moving to a new house together in two weeks, leaving me to be either homeless or forced to pay 4 times what I was paying in rent. FML
Today, after I just bought a house that is pretty good and suits all our needs for space, my in-laws moved in because they ran into financial troubles. Guess who is stuck with all the extra expenditures? FML
Today, I rented a house for 5 years with my girlfriend, only to find out she is the actual owner. FML
Today, I signed the lease for a flat that a mate and I decided to move into. About five minutes after leaving the renting agency, I received a text from my mate saying he couldn't move in with me after all. I am now the happy tenant of a large inner city flat that I can't afford. 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, after spending days writing up an offer for a condo so my boyfriend and I could move in together with our 9-month-old, we found out they accepted a different offer. FML
Today, after moving into my new house, I agreed to let my house mates have a house warming on the condition it be a small one, as I have exams all day that day and one that I can't fail on the very next morning. The facebook event guest list now has 100+ confirmed guests. FML
Today, after my housemate handed in his notice to vacate without telling me beforehand, I had few days whilst working to make a decision to stay or vacate. In a panic, I chose vacate. On my day off I sat down with my finances and discovered I can't afford elsewhere. I asked to stay, my landlord put up rent by 50%. I might now become homeless. FML
Today, my sister and her common-law-husband intensified their hints that their family is growing (a teenage son, a pre-teen daughter, and a new baby coming in the way), and it's getting rather crowded. In short, they want me out of the house. They may have also forgotten the mere fact that it is my house. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Could be a blessing in disguise, if they're that thoughtful about everything else as well.

Discuss with them the possibility of finding a different house that can actually hold all 5 of you.

Forget that. If they were ok with leaving op out of the new house, then they aren't the kind of people she should continue living with. Not worth it

So everyone who upvoted #1 would happily discuss with their roommates? Roommates that makes plans in your back? They found the "perfect" house so they're not pulling back. And even if they do, they're not to be trusted anymore.

Agree with #18 and #20. Leave the pack behind. With roommates like that, who needs enemies? Good luck finding a new living arrangement OP.

You people all seem to undervalue pre-existing relationships and are very quick to throw them out the window. You don't even know the details of this FML's situation.

Namely, they might not have realised that the house only held 4 people. The dislikes I'm getting are honestly pathetic.

I say forget them. You'll probably meet some mates in the army you can room with if you need to. Best of luck, regardless.

I'm sorry, OP. But maybe it's a good thing. No one wants to live with people that are so thought less, especially to someone in military training. God speed, OP.

my finger slipped and hit the you deserved it button on accident x.x

That sounds completely unfair. Try to discuss this with them OP. This is unacceptable. Hope you sort it out!

If they didn't want to live with you they could have told you

Some people are just so damn inconsiderate. I mean maybe they could have just called you before putting up an offer. Just maybe. At least you would know before it was practically finalized.

If all they did was put in an offer, it's not "practically finalized." The owner selling it could have other offers, maybe an offer they like better, and tell OP's roommates no.

Sorry OP, that really does suck. At least they told you about it though.

Possibly they thought you would not be able to stay with them anymore?
