Love and Cheating: Supportive

Supportive

By ILOVELEDZEPPELIN - 06/07/2014 20:27 - United States - Wakefield

Today, I called my mother crying, telling her how my husband has apparently been cheating on me for months. To my surprise, she didn't interrupt me or cut me off the whole time. Only when she didn't respond, did I realize she'd hung up a half an hour ago. FML

Today, my mom didn’t answer the phone when I called. My husband promptly said, with a straight face, “Would you answer you?” FML

Privacy

By whyme27 - This FML is from back in 2012 but it's good stuff - United States - South Bend

Today, I was talking on the phone to my crush so I went into the bathroom for some privacy. My drunk mother started banging on the door, asking what I was doing in there. I told her that I was on the phone, so she yelled super loud, "While you're shitting?" He immediately hung up. FML

Today, while I was sitting in the living room with my mother, my phone rang. She immediately exclaimed, "I'm not calling you! Why is it going off?" She was serious. My own mother doesn't believe people talk to me. FML

Today, I called my mother to say hi. She spent a whole hour and a half complaining about how I never call her, bawling and calling me "a waste of human flesh." I call her at least once a week. FML

Today, I called my mum, crying because of my low self-esteem. She interrupted my sobs by saying, "Can I hang up now? The phone's getting hot." FML

Not now!

Today, I told my wife I had a huge Zoom interview and could not be disturbed under any circumstances. Nevertheless, she called her mom, got into a screaming argument the interviewer could clearly hear, then came into my office to cry on my shoulder. She doesn't understand why I'm furious with her.

Sucks to suck

By youfuckingdumbassmum - 27/12/2012 23:20 - United Kingdom - Cambridge

Today, I was texting my mother after my boyfriend broke off our relationship. She offered incredibly supportive replies such as "No, really?" and "Aww, that sucks." before apparently getting bored and claiming she had to go because her "text reception" was breaking up. FML

Today, I called my mom for the first time in a few weeks, just to chat because I miss her. When she picked up, the first thing she said was, "Why are you calling? What's wrong? Do you have swine flu??" When I told her that I didn't, and I just wanted to chat, she hung up. FML

Today, I was talking to my mom about how my fiancé has been ignoring me and that I didn't know why. Turns out, my mother told him that I was too much of a handful, was mentally disturbed and also cheating on him. Just so I wouldn't move out and would keep cleaning her house for free. FML

Today, my mom asked me if I was crying because my boyfriend cheated on me with my best friend. That wasn't why I was crying. My mom knows things before I do. FML

I'm sorry, no one deserves that, but maybe she had a bad connection or something. I hope so.

Maybe she can chip some ice off of her heart for the martini you'll be sipping later.

I'm sorry, but if you call and talk about your husband a lot, maybe she didn't realize how bad the topic was and just hung up as to not deal with you. This sounds horrible but I do this to my mother sometimes because she cries and complains about the same things over and over again. Not saying this wasn't horrible for you, but it might have seemed like an annoyance. Maybe try an in person visit?

I'm so sorry nobody deserves that and everything happens for a reason! I accidentally pushed the you deserved it button on accident and totally didn't mean it so one of those votes I take back. I hope your alright.

Not to be rude or anything, but no one wants to hear someone whine and complain for that long.

OP has every right to complain and be very upset. That is a big thing - and OP was very upset and in need of support. I might agree with you if it was something "small" although people have different perceptions of what is 'a big deal' but even if it was something different and OP was making a mountain out of a molehill, OP's mother should still have politely disengaged rather than hung up.

If someone hung up on you, wouldn't you hear a dial tone or something? O.o Still, FYL, OP. You didn't deserve to be cheated on or hung up on by your mother. Time to file for divorce!

Maybe she saw it coming.... That sucks to death, though, I don't have anybody else but my mother to talk to in that situation. I hope you can sort things out with her, OP. Not your husband, though. That's pretty damn unforgivable in my opinion.
