Today, my boyfriend of six months called me. He said his mom was making him choose between having a dog or having a girlfriend. I asked him which one he picked. He went quiet, and I heard barking in the background. FML

Today, I gave my boyfriend a choice between me and the super creepy codependent almost Norman Bates relationship he has with his mother. Guess which he chose. FML

Today, my boyfriend apparently lied to me when he'd said we could get a dog one day. I bought a puppy for him in secret but as soon as he saw it he was all, "What the hell is that? We’re not keeping it." It’s now with his parents, as he didn’t want it overnight or even in the house. FML

Today, I asked my wife who she would choose, me or the dog. She chose the dog. No hesitation. FML

Today, I called my boyfriend just to hear his voice since I haven't seen him in a while. His mom picked up and said "Chris isn't here right now, he's with his girlfriend. Do you want to leave him a message." We've been dating for 4 and a half months now. FML

Today, my girlfriend broke up with me over the phone, after having left me to look after her dog while she went on a 2-week vacation with her family. Now I have to choose between paying for a kennel for her damn dog or taking care of it every day until she gets back. FML

Today, my boyfriend of 3 years called my house even though I was with him at the time. He needed to talk to my mom. He asked her to break up with me for him. FML

Today, my boyfriend and I broke up. He now argues that he should keep the dog. We only dated for three months, and I've had the dog since I was ten. FML

Today, my girlfriend broke up with me because her mom said she would buy her a pug if she did. I got dumped for a dog, and an ugly one for that matter. FML

Today, my boyfriend of 6 months broke up with me. I was crying for over an hour in my room. My dad came in and asked what was wrong. Just as I was about to tell him, he stops me and simply says "Oh, honey. I don't care... Just keep the noise down." Then walks out. FML

are you ******* three years old? this is so stupid. my mom would never make me break up with my boyfriend just because of a dog. don't get me wrong I love animals but why don't u just lie to your mom and say u take the dog and date behind her back.

No no, I totally understand where the mom is coming from. I once had a dog AND a girlfriend, I ended up walking my girlfriend and taking my dog to the movies. It can be very tough.

Man. That's wrong. I can understand if he had the dog for like years and years and years but he JUST got the dog and he's been dating her for 6 months. In 6 months, a couple can go through a LOT of stuff. Oh...saying that she is a horrible girlfriend because he chose the dog over here is just[[....]]because why didnt he break up with her before he got the damn dog? If i had to chose between my boyfriend of 6 months and getting a dog...I'd chose the boyfriend. Mainly because he just so happens to be human and our relationship is a lot stronger/intimate/healthier (in an emotional way b.c i don't see myself asking my dog how to help with homework, friends, stress etc).
