Love: Today, I was given the best news of my life. I am cancer free...

Today, I was given the best news of my life. I am cancer free and am not, at the ripe age of 23 going to bite the dust. My husband left his journal on the nightstand in our bedroom. He wrote, "I feel like a bad person, but if she dies, I don't have to get divorced." FML

Get me away from here, I'm dying

Today, my wife filed for divorce. Last month, she was diagnosed with stage 4, terminal, inoperable cancer. We got a second (confirmed) opinion. She has maybe six months left. She told me she doesn't want to spend her last remaining days on this earth with me. Our 33rd anniversary was in May. FML

Today, I found out that the giant tumour on my leg isn’t cancerous or dangerous. My mom cried, and I was super relieved. Later on, I heard her on the phone in tears because now she won’t be able to get a free vacation or home renovations from the Make A Wish foundation. FML

Today, I found out my husband has been flirting with and dating behind my back the nurse who treats my cancer. He admitted that he needs someone healthy and not someone who’s “gonna be sick all the time.” He also attempted to justify it by saying, “You’re gonna die anyway and then what am I gonna do?” FML

Today, I divorced my husband of 20 years. The only positive thing about my day was my pregnancy test. Yes, it was his. FML

Thanks for the miracle

Today, after being diagnosed with breast cancer, enduring months of tortuous chemo, having painful radiation treatments and having had my tubes tied, I realized I’ve become the butt of an incredibly cruel cosmic joke. I got pregnant from the one-night stand I had to celebrate beating cancer. FML

The old switcheroo

By Anonymous - 21/07/2023 06:00

Today, my fiance's divorce was finalized and we went out to dinner to celebrate. I stepped away to use the bathroom, then came back to a note on the table saying, "I'm going to enjoy single life, thanks!" He left me with the bill. FML

Today, I got some news from two colleagues, one of whom just got married for the first time, and the other whose long-time wife was recently diagnosed with an advanced form of cancer. I wrote each of them a heartfelt note, which would've been thoughtful if I hadn't mixed up the recipients. FML

Today, my boyfriend broke up with me, saying he had to move away to be with his dad, who's just been diagnosed with cancer. After talking to his sister, I discovered that not only is his dad healthy, he's not moving away either; he's just gotten back with his ex. FML

Today, after three days of hospital camping with my very sick husband, he was finally out of danger when I left last night to get my first good night's sleep in almost 96 hours. He woke me at 5 a.m. with a phone call asking me to bring him comic books because he's bored. FML

Who goes wishing death on the people they're supposed to love most in the world? That's some psychotic shit.

it wasn't meant for anyone to read though. He just said how he honestly felt. We cover up human emotions all the time and build walls to avoid hurting others. In his journal he obviously didn't do that. Not his fault she read it but still a FML

1.) Shut the **** up about "l0ll gay keepin j0urnalzz". Men can keep WRITTEN RECORDS of their thoughts and feelings without it tarnishing their masculinity. Now, if this book is fluffy pink with ribbons and kitten stickers and a zebra print bookmark, then perhaps he's not Mr. Lumberjack Weightlifting Douchebag. (Note some sarcasm here...) 2.) Unless this was, as a poster mentioned before, a BLANK book with absolutely no hint at being a journal and she was just curious, then shame on OP for snooping. No one has the excuse to search through someone else's private shit. That's what open discussions and good communication are all about, and even then people might not always fess up to true feelings. Peeking into journals/diaries is never a good thing, regardless of the stuff you find. If you're a girl, and snoop, and find your guy has been cheating on you, then hooray you've found out and spared yourself future deceit and pain, but that doesn't justify the snooping -- that's all I'm saying. 3.) People here might be missing out the possibility this guy was talking about not having to get a divorce because he's been seeing someone else on the side. He just might have been saying he'd rather not put her through finding the affair and thus getting a divorce. Now, why didn't he just say, "I feel like a bad person, but if she dies, I don't have to get divorced to run off with Jenna"? Maybe he didn't want to. Of course, it could just be he isn't in love anymore and wants to separate. Who knows? We don't, because the OP didn't explain it all.
