I'm not worthy

Today, my boyfriend of three years who I helped through drug rehab and find employment in my office left me for someone else. His explanation was that now that his "head is not clouded with chemicals" and he "makes decent money", he wants to settle down with someone worthy of him. FML

Tell him you settled for him because you felt sorry for him.

If he can't do any better. Then what about that is "settling"? Doesnt that mean he did the best in his league and just thinks there are "more beautiful" women than you?

If you were an optimist you'd take it as your the greatest and he can't do any better

This guy is a loser. He is just saying that to lie to himself. Sorry, but I would have done some damage.

Every relationship has at least one partner who is lucky, and one who is settling. If you feel like you're the lucky one, then your partner could do better, and eventually might. You're just not supposed to say it OUT LOUD. P.S. If there are two people who both sincerely think they're the lucky one, that is what I call perfect.

Today, I have an HR meeting to discuss my team's performance. This is the same HR that refuses to hire more people because my department is full. The same HR that complains when tasks are completed late due to the team being overworked, yet refuses to take any suggestions. How do you give feedback to people like this? FML

Today, I took a very expensive flight to New York City for a job interview. I waited in my hotel room all day for the phone call to go to my once in a lifetime interview. By noon, I was nervous; eight, I was pissed. Around ten, I realized my phone was still in airplane mode. FML

Today, at the mall my brother and I went to look at a vendor's items when my mom said not to touch anything. Thinking my brother was standing next to me, I saw him touching stuff so I smacked him in the arm and told him to stop. I turn to see that the old lady to my side was giving me a mean look. FML

Today, I thought I lost my wallet. Canceled my bank cards. Bought a new wallet. Got a $141 parking fine at the motor registry while getting my replacement license which also cost me $22.

Today, my husband bought his fifth car in two years. He doesn't wreck them, but he keeps buying old junk cars "for a bargain" that are one bad day away from being scrapped. The last one lasted two months before the frame broke in half from rust. FML
