im not saying ydi, op, but what else could she do. imagine if the love of your life was gone for 7 months, and you were super-horny! she shouldnt have done your cousin, but she was sexually starving!

I thought you meant her grandmother was ACTUALLY your cousin, as in you guys were oddly related without realising.

time to kill the cousin and ditch the girl.

rough, dude. Dump her, ignore him at reunions, and get some better company. Thanks for your service to our country.

First of all, I'm so sorry to hear that, OP. That really does suck. But thank you so much for serving our country. Secondly, for the people who say that the deployed-and-cheating FMLs are "repetitive" or that they "aren't funny," there really haven't been that many of these types of FMLs at all. Maybe three total; this is just the second one in a short period of time. And whoever said that FML was some sort of contest to see who had the "funniest" FML? It's a place to post things that basically **** your life up. And this definitely qualifies. Thirdly, I'd like to point out that you don't exactly get to CHOOSE when you get deployed and for how long in any branch of the military. It's not like you can say, "Oh, no, that doesn't work for me, how about next time?" to the flipping MILITARY. It's not the OP's fault at all that his girlfriend cheated on him. And finally, for those who say that he deserved it for dating while in the service...WTF. Some people are in the military for 20+ years. How can you tell somebody not to have any sort of significant other at all during that time?

mabye his cousin is her grandmother and he just found out that they are realated

Just on a side note, If your cousin really was her grandmother, does that make her your great grand cousin?

1. There was no incest involved, the OP was being sarcastic about her "sick grandmother" being his cousin. 2. As #97 said, this is just the second FML of this type in the past week or so. 3. FYL OP, she shouldn't have done that, people are saying "oh she's love starved and YDI for dating while in the armed forces". I don't see what they're on about seeing as how they have no right to tell people when they can and cannot go out with someone... Good look in Iraq!

At least you found out before deployment not in a letter or after thinking she was waiting for you for so long.

As a Gulf war vet, I stand at attention and salute you for your service and sacrifices. Revenge is best served cold. Finish your deployment planning your revenge on both of them. Find their weaknesses and take advantage of them.
