YDI

YDI for being an ostrich. Now go make me a sandwich.

Am I the only one who is noting the hypocrisy between what people "want" FMLs to be and how they complain when it's what they asked for? You say that you want an FML that really talks about your life being, well, ******. But when you actually get one, you complain about how its "too depressing" and "not even funny at all"? Just slightly contradictory, there. And to those of you arguing about American/English: American is a form of English, hence the term "American English". That's what we Americans speak, but it takes too long to specify. It is a form of English. And just because the British add extra "u"s and we change the "s"s to "z"s doesn't mean that it's an entirely different language. And I hope you all realize how stupid it is to be arguing over this, because it's not going to change anything. Tolerance, my friends. Tolerance. Oh, and not all Americans eat McDonald's. Just saying. I hate the stuff. OP: I really am sorry. The best suggestion I can give you would be to divorce your husband and from there determine which man you'd rather be with: One who you're crazy about, or one who's crazy about you. Or neither; I mean, who says all women need a man? Whatever you choose to do, good luck.

I'd say your love life is pretty much ****** seeing that the man you want probally dosent want you and the man who wants you you probally don't want and you're husband most likely no longer interested so either start new or suck it up and pick

Why? If she doesn't want to be with her husband and he doesn't want to be with her they should get a divorce. Marriage has no inherit value and doesn't need to be saved. Sure, if she couldn't choose between her husband and the other guy or it was another deep-rooted problem that doesn't instantaneously destroy the only reason you'd get married in any civilized country I'd agree with cutting off the problem to save the marriage, but if you just don't want to be with them the marriage is pointless.

#92, to add, there's also Canadian English. Just a tidbit, we don't speak American English nor do we speak Briton English. There's similarities in all three when you compare them side by side, then there are also major differences. I don't know all the differences off the top of my head, I'm not an English expert. Many international schools in the world (mostly in Asia from my understanding) have adopted Canadian English as the English being taught in those schools. Apparently Briton English is too hard and American English has a lot of slang (well, all English has a lot of slang to be honest). But that's what I've heard, not actual facts. I received some of this information from Chinese-Canadian friends who had gone to an international school in Singapore and else where. __________________________ This is by the most confusing FML I've read. It looks pretty straight forward when you think simply about it. But it has "committed adultery" written all over it. It could be the husband or the wife, let me first state that 1) She doesn't want to be with her husband 2) Her husband apparently doesn't want to be with her, and 3) There's 2 other guys in her life. I also don't get why the husband wouldn't be the one that "Wants to be with you." But that's not necessary to write down for a FML I guess. You guys grew apart, but counseling helps, giving up is the weak way out. My interpretation of this FML is that she appears to lead guys on, this is seen because a third guy is on her list as "wanting to be with her". The "one she wants to be with" is a guy she's trying to seduce and is not working. Interpolating the interpretation one could say she was a "****" and slept around. But then again, we do not know what the husband does on his spare time either. (Remember it's just my interpretation, not a fact. Flaming responses will be regarded as retarded) All around, this FML is a "YDI" and a "YSGMA" - You Shouldn't Get Married Again.

this is not an fml, this is a fail

I don't see the correlation here with being gay. You lose.

@ #99. That is the American mentality. All you care about yourself, individualism at it's best. But have you of thought of the family? Do you think kids enjoy growing up with their parents bitter about each other, or separated? Have you heard of the phrase "learn to love?" All these things seem to be over your head. That is the problem with American marriages is that they are so self-centered about one's happiness. If you think about it, if both are willing to make sacrifices along the way, everyone would be happy and really love each other, rather than build bitterness and distance each other. If you're an individualist, great, but for some of us, there is a lot more to life that just me me me me.

to 109: I disagree about your comment on thinking about the children. I grew up the child of divorced parents who hated each other. I loved being with my parents, but even when they were just dropping me off/picking me up, every interaction between them was hell for me. Constant fighting and bitterness. It hurts more to see two people you love fighting, than it does to only see ones person at a time. Learning to love is the best option, but sometimes it doesn't work and it's best to end it, before things are worse for any child that might exist.
