Nice welcome

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

Today, I got back from a six month deployment overseas. My girlfriend of three years couldn't pick me up from the airport because she had an intramural softball game to go to. FML

lol, at #3. No one takes intramural sports seriously. Certainly no one considers it a responsibility to play intramural sports where half the people show up drunk. This was a burn big time. You should take as much offense to this as possible.

Wow 6 months? Is that it? Damn, I thought 15 was bad, but 6?!? Must be in the Air Force.. Good to see you made it back though.

Wow are you ******* serious #3 and #11?! I think an INTRAMURAL softball game could be put off...its not even playing against other schools its playing against other people on campus. I mean Jesus people like you two ***** need to be shot if you think a ******* softball game is more important than seeing your boyfriend of three years after being in Iraq or Afghanistan for half a year.

Dude, if I were her I would've been at the airport the night before. Maybe you deserve better

get a new girlfriend! you obviously, obviously deserve much better. and thank you!

ehh when you're busy you're busy. nothing you can do about it

#2 Im sorry there is no way to make it up. I have been with my boyfriend for almost 3 years He is in the military as well. I would hold off everything else because he is coming home; nothing is more important than him. #3 Your a idiot as well. HE WAS DEPLOYED!!!! your an idiot. Thers is no understanding. I don't think you have been around the military. That is a way important day not to miss. I can't believe this girl did this to him. #7 If you are serious enough like 2 years; the girlfriend never stops caring!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Maybe you cheated on him; that would be the only thing I would think of. #11 YOUR A BIG IDIOT!!! When you are in a military relationship you get that date and make sure you don't have anything going on.. I took 5 days off from work because my boyfriend was coming home. You are so ignorant its funny. Its the military you can't plan on what day you can leave or come home. Im sorry if she cared as much as she did; she would not put anything before his homecoming. #23 airforce usually 3 and my boyfriend has been deployed for 7 months before and this is the marines army is usually the 15 month tour. # 25 I agree. She does not deserve you. You need a girl that will be there no matter what. She needs to put you first before any "softball game"

I dunno, just sounds like poor planning on someone's part. Either she's irresponsible and didn't bother to check her calendar the day you were coming back, or you didn't tell her when until the last minute, in which case that's to be expected. Also, where's your family in the whole of this? Your girlfriend can't be the only one there who has a car?

#28 your a idiot as well God; If you don't know what your talking about and take the girls side you need to not post anything. A S/O of military would never do that; unless they are "cheating" on them or lost intrest which is pretty sad to do.

#30 i dont think the point was that he didnt get a ride from his gf.. it was that his gf picked a softball game over going to see him as soon as he got back from being deployed for 6 MONTHS. If this was my bf, especially of 3 years, id be sure that he was my first priority as soon as he got back.
