Today, my husband of five years left me for a woman ten years older than himself who lives nine hours away. He met her online two weeks ago while playing Call of Duty. FML

OP here :) No, I'm NOT a terrible wife. I had a situation that caused sex to be very painful for me, so we weren't doing it very much. He got frustrated, this ***** started chatting with him. I moved in with my parents, and two weeks later he ended it with her (without even meeting her in person yet) realizing that it was his sexual frustration talking. We are back together and working things out, which is easier now that I've been to the doctor and had my situation taken care of. Thanks for the sympathy, and a big FECK OFF to the haters ;)

Ah well, don't worry about it too much. They'll both become addicted to various games until their relationship falls apart from neglect. Now you know what kind of character he has, and can find someone who is really good for you.

Aww true love at first head shot

Wow.....either he has something else he's hiding and that was just an excuse or he really is an immature dumbass. You're better off...

Reminds me of my ex-fiancé. He left me after six years for a furry he meet in a chat room and knew for six weeks. It seems to have been I was waiting for marriage and the furry would give him sex right now.

Here's a furry definition for you 27 since it seems you're too lazy to google or wiki it. "The furry fandom is a subculture interested in fictional anthropomorphic animal characters with human personalities and characteristics. Examples of anthropomorphic attributes include exhibiting human intelligence and facial expressions, the ability to speak, walk on two legs, and wear clothes. Furry fandom is also used to refer to the community of people who gather on the Internet and at conventions"

27, I was the only person he thought he had a chance with till the furry came along, maybe he was just chasing my pants. He proposed to me while cheating in an attempt to get his morals straight. Nope, sex is more important after all! Till he told the furry to "eat sh** and die, you bit**!" So she left...

Give it up, ViviMage. The only thought going through the heads of everyone reading your story is "BUUUUUULLLLLSHIIIIIITTTTT!"

30- clearly you know way to much about the whole "furry" shit or had to look it up yourself. Really? What a dumbass.

Good Riddance! It seems he wasn't good enough for you after all!

I'm guessing he probably was gonna leave regardless he was just waiting for an excuse. Hopefully you'll find someone better and worth your time.

I've heard that soldiers who survive the horrors of war together form bonds that cannot compare with any other relationships they might have with non-military personnel. Evidently, this happens to play-play soldiers who witness the blood, carnage and brutality of war on a glowing screen while sitting in their basements in their underpants. She probably rescued him from a mob of evil elves, ogres and zombies, or what have you!

Take heart OP. He was probably going to leave you anyway for whatever reasons. This woman just gave him the perfect (lame) excuse.

10- I don't know about you, but I like it when people are specific.

Sorry for your breakup. To everyone criticizing the husband: people's preferences change with time, and if he happens to like a different person than he did 5 years ago, that's his choice. You can't force people to like you, so while the situation is sad for the OP, it's not the fault of her husband or anyone else.

So you're saying her husband cheating on her and breaking up with her ISN'T HIS FAULT? Wow, you're a genius! You've figured out how to justify everyone who's ever cheated! It simply wasn't their fault! Idiot.

So she should say ohhhhh "it's okay that you ruined our marriage because you can't help who you love?" That is ridiculous.

There's nothing here to indicate he cheated. It looks like he simply fell out of love with his wife and in love with another woman. Should he stay in such a situation?

Factor - I'm sorry, I must have been reading a different FML than you. The one I was reading indicated that OP was married for 5 years, and her husband met another woman online and left his wife only two weeks later. It certainly sounds like cheating to me, but what the hell do I know. I'm just some guy who's been faithful to his wife for 15 years.

There is no indication in the FML that the OP's husband was ever unfaithful to her--in other words, no evidence that he was "cheating". If he wants to leave his wife because he found someone better, that's completely his choice. He's not enslaved to his wife, and no law of physics says that he must have such perfect foresight that he must choose the perfect wife the first time.

"People's preferences change over time." OP should totally be thankful that she was his 'preference' for so long then. I'd love my husband to refer to me as his 'preference'. That's got to be the most romantic thing I've ever heard. Flip off. You make a CHOICE when you marry to live forever, and to work at things. Feckin' eejit.

Ideasrule- You must not be familiar with how a marriage is supposed to work. I certainly hope you aren't married, or else I feel very sorry for your spouse. Here, I'll give you a little tutorial: It isn't "Hey, I'll stay with this person until I find someone better." It isn't "Hey, I'll maybe commit myself to this person forever...possibly." It IS "I love this person and devote my life to him/her. Forever." Got that? That's gift to you, free of charge.

Doubt anyone has read this in months, but to clear things up, he did cheat on me with her.

No, I don't think he's a closet case, or he would've stuck with his beard.
