Easily distracted

By Jeanine - This FML is from back in 2009 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, I returned to my apartment to find everything reduced to ashes, hidden in black clouds of smoke. Turns out there was a blackout, and my fiancé lit a candle on top of a stack of all our wedding papers. When he smelled the smoke, he got hungry for a taco and left instead of calling 911. FML

And you want to marry someone so absent minded?

Wait, he got hungry when he smelled the smoke... from what? The candle? Or the fire? If he left a candle burning in a blacked-out apartment while he left to get food, then he's absent-minded and a little negligent. That might be forgivable, especially given the fact that it's apparently near your wedding date. But if he knew the place was burning down and left it to go eat rather than call the authorities, then he's insane. Possibly criminally so. He will no doubt need professional help, in any case. Personally, based on the way the OP phrased things, I think a lot of people are jumping to the conclusion that the guy left the apartment in flames to go get a taco, when it's far more likely that he simply left a candle burning while he went to go get lunch.

make him pay for everything you own wait a second... this is a lie if everything was ruined in your apartment, how are you typing this on a computerr??

don't let him fool you!! there was no candle. he lit those wedding papers on purpose and it all got out of hand.

I HAVE A QUESTION. you said fiance... and then you said wedding pictures... That confused me a little bit. Are you talking about pictures that you take BEFORE and then send it out with the announcements? Or is this FML Full of Sh*t?

#134: She said wedding PAPERS not pictures. But I'm sure this is still total BS. Unless she's marrying Mr. Magoo.

What the **** If this is actually true, ... 1) chop his **** 'n' balls off and feed them to the dogs 2) even before that, dump the hell out of him in total public embarrassment and shame 3) of course, call the damn wedding off and ask him for the refund 4? Sue the shit out of him. But seriously, is he retarded or something? burning fire does not equal taco...but they are awesome ;D #17, you are even more retarded. Who would keep someone like that.

Your basic dumbass maneuver. Id be lying if I said that these kinds of people are uncommon.

Definitely FYL. Also, to the people saying they can't believe this, YES, people ARE that stupid. It's happened to a friend of my mother's (husband burned their patio down with a cigarette). Although I'd talk/scream at him instead of insta-dumping the idiot.

Your fiance definitely is not the brightest bulb in the bunch, is he? I won't say that you should dump him right-off, but at the least, really think it through before you marry the guy...(if you do end up marrying him, that is.) good luck OP!
