Today, while I was on a field trip with my son, my husband decided to get rid of our dog without asking anyone. Now I get to pick up the pieces of a broken heart, and he thinks he did nothing wrong. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my boyfriend broke up with me. He let me know by shaving "CYA" into my dog's fur and then moving out before I got home from work. FML
Today, my fiancé and I broke up, and he won't answer my calls or texts. I don't want him back; he has my dog. FML
Today, over the past 48 hours, my husband has ignored a dog with a broken leg, because, “It’s not our dog, so it’s not our problem,” and also ignored a young lost boy crying for his mother in Asda, because, “He’s not our son, so who cares?” I think I want a divorce. FML
Today, the dog my now ex-boyfriend and I own together bit me bad enough that I needed stitches on my face and my hand... he then broke up with me and saying it was all too much for him and has kept the dog... FML
Today, I was outside searching for "treasures" with my son using small plastic shovels. All of a sudden he starts screaming. He dug up the bones of our old dog. I told him that we had sent him away to live on a farm, I even helped my son write letters to the farm owners. FML
Today, my husband and I were are fighting for custody of MY two dogs. Then I found out in court that a year into our marriage, he ran one of them over with his car and then had to get a new matching one, and didn’t tell me. He said, “I paid for it so I should keep it.” FML
Today, my estranged husband told me he’s sad that he lost the dog. He didn’t mention anything about losing me, his wife. FML
Today, I made the mistake of telling my boyfriend I was taking my kids to my mother's until he has decided if he wants to carry on being a boyfriend and stepfather. While we were gone, he apparently realised how good his life could be without us, and dumped me. I fucked up. FML
Today, I bought a dog to make me feel less lonely. He ran away. FML
Today, my husband left our untrained puppy out of its kennel when he left for work. I got home and all of the baby books my parents just bought for us that were on the coffee table in a backpack were completely destroyed, along with the bag, and parts of our wall. FML

That really sucks OP. Maybe (assuming he didn't harm him) you can get him back!

I'm hoping. Needs a follow up

I feel sorry for the dog first. Then for the kid, then for the wife. But seriously, thinking about this poor dog that didn't do anything wrong, and that is now alone and heartbroken makes me feel so sad.

You have no idea what the dog had done. Maybe it was destroying the house. Maybe they were not taking proper care of it. I can think of a ton of plausible reason. Does OP have her head in the sand and care less? They could of talked about it already. I understand his side!

But you also have no idea what the dog has done or if they have talked about it. So by your own reasoning you can not agree with him.

Uh, 27, the FML very clearly says "without asking anyone". Obviously they didn't talk about it, or there wasn't consensus on the gravity of the situation. The most plausible explanation is that OP's husband is a control-freak sociopath.

The op clearly state the husband got rid of the dog 'without asking anyone' meaning they never talked about it before hanf

Your husband is a complete and utter asshole

Was your son suppose to be the one responsible for the dog and slacked? My parents made it clear that when we had a pet-- I was totally in charge of walking, feeding, bathing, grooming etc... If I stopped taking care of her, they would adopt her out to a home to better suit her needs. Sorry if that wasn't the case

Even if that were the case, getting rid of the dog still should have been a joint parental decision, not something the dad did on his own when everyone else was gone.

A pet shouldn't be punished because of the actions of a child. Parents should only take on a pet knowing they may have to look after it. You can try and justify it how you like, but a pet shouldn't suffer and be shunted around because people are too lazy to parent properly. It's not a toy you can just take away.

That's horrible! I'm really rather flabbergasted. If that was my husband, we'd have a serious problem. That is not okay at all.

Unless there is some amazing background going on here to justify it (and it's a real mind-stretch to come up with such a scenario) your husband is a total dick. Hope this is the only hurtful, controlling, asshole thing he's doing. :(

Unfortunately, that seems unlikely.

Sounds like it's time to get a divorce lawyer. Or a gun.
