Bad timing

By kellym - 22/04/2009 03:24 - Canada

Today, I called my husband and he told me that he was going to invite his friend Jeff over that night. I told him I would prefer that he didn't come over. He took it to mean that I wanted to spend time with him and came home with flowers. Then had to tell him I was leaving him. FML

FHL ur a bitch. things may not be working out with u 2. but y break the news then??? try to work it out. not break the guys heart the night he brings u flowers and wants to spend time with u.

YDI, FHL, and you´ll be fine. The only part that really bothers me is the fact that you´re either: A) Feigning concern for someone you don´t want to be married to anymore. Which is bullshit and a manipulative attempt to garner sympathy when you are, in fact, the ¨bad guy.¨ or B) You´re not willing to work on your relationship anymore even though you´ve still got feelings for your husband, which is just pure pathetic in two directions. So, on second thought, it´s not YDI, because nothing is happening to you, there´s no I to D for Y.

Wow, you are a gigantic bitch. I know we're supposed to be respectful on here, but wow. Not because of your behavior necessarily, but it is kind of a bitch move for you to get him to blow off his friend so you can break up with him. You could have let him have fun with his buddy and done it the next day...but the reason you are such a bitch is that you post a story about YOU breaking it off with HIM after getting HIM to ignore his friends, and then bring you flowers on this site, like you expect people to feel bad for you? what the hell is wrong with you that you're looking for sympathy for telling your husband YOU are leaving HIM after he brings you flowers? Oh, man, it must have been ever so hard for you to tell him to have a nice life after he gave you flowers, I think I'm gonna shed a tear... He's better off without you, bitch. I hope your husband picks up a nice girl, someone who deserves a nice guy, and i hope you wind up with a total asshole, like you deserve. **** HIS life.

he seems like a sweet guy, so yeah I'd agree with FHL but i don't think it's right to assume the OP is a bitch. something happened between their marriage and just by the fact that she felt really guilty about what she was about to do proves she's not a complete asshole.

aww poor guy, FHL FYUTAB (**** you up the ass, bitch)

Its amazing how many people on here have almost NO CONCEPT of relationships. To everyone saying she could have waited and maybe they could have worked it out. HOW do you know they hadn't already tried? Or that she had been mulling over what she should do for months? Just because it was suddenly over for him doesn't mean this wasn't something she had been battling inside for god knows how long. Its not easy to end a marraige, not to mention expensive, and its not something people just DO. Its not like breaking up with a girlfriend or boyfriend (although int hose cases the dumper has usually come to terms with what they need to do also). My guess? She had already preplanned that night. This isn't something you "wait for the right time" on. This is somethign that takes courage. "Im not happy, we've tried working on it, its not working for me." All of you are naive little *****.

AND bringing someone flowers doesn't make him sweet!!!!!!!!! Most men who are abusive or cheat will shower their wives with gifts and flowers as some sort of aide to the guilt they might feel. Does that meant he poor person on the commnet section who was thrown out a glass door after receiving flowers had a really sweet guy? I mean he gave her flowers so who cares if he threw her out of a window right? Again - 90% of the people on here. NAIVE.

@MonkeySpeaks, the fact is, you and the person thrown through a glass door are creating up a scenario for this woman and assuming that the guy deserved all of this, probably mainly due to your own experiences in the past. But as far as this FML is concerned, the OP wrote nothing about being abused or having a poor excuse of a husband, so while I'll agree most the comments are in fact naive, instantly assuming that this woman falls into the same category as you might, is a huge jump to conclusions that isn't any more justified than the rest of the comments. All we know is that the husband didn't bring over his friend at the woman's request and brought flowers, and that she was planning on leaving him. Nothing else. She wrote the FML, and because she didn't put anything to insist that she was in the right and he was in the wrong, people are allowed to think poorly of her.

Well no matter what her reasons were it's still not really an FML. I mean she chose to leave him she created the situation, that's not really an FML. It's definitely a FHL even if he is a jackass since he blew off a friend and spent money just to be dumped. So it's the OP's fault it was uncomfortable situation.
