Today, I found out that my husband of five years was living a double life. He and his mistress have two children together and a third one on the way. He told me the only reason he stayed with me was for my money. I make about 8 dollars an hour and work two jobs to make ends meet. FML

Today, my mom and dad went to court to negotiate child support for me and my brothers. During the meeting, my dad was asked, "Sir, are you saying that the only reason you want your sons to live with you full time is so you don't have to pay child support?" To which he responded, "Yes." FML

Today, my husband announced the reason he had been working since much is because he had secretly paid off my tens of thousands of student loans. I then had to tell him I'm leaving him for his best friend. FML

Today, my husband sat me down to tell me he’s filing for divorce as he’s fallen out of love with me and loves my 19 year-old daughter (his step-daughter). Furthermore, I’m off the lease when it expires next month so they can live together. We have a 2 month-old son. He replied, “OK, and? I’ll pay child support.” FML

late, but just noticed this one. it's not OP's fault you married or got with a woman that couldn't/wouldn't take care of herself and/or used you. I mean I agree, I can't stand women that use men (i don't understand how material things can be that fulfilling at all, let alone fill the void of marrying someone you don't love) but don't take that out on ALL "you women." some of us actually ARE successful and self-sufficient, and refuse to let a man take on more than his fair share of the financial responsibility. believe it or not, some of "us women" are even the major breadwinner these days, ya know ;)

Wait, I don't get it. You have an opportunity to save your husband money and make him sandwiches at the same time, and this gets posted on FML? FML stands for "**** My Life," which means you should be posting stuff that's actually bad on here.

He thinks he's unhappy now? Let him find out what it's like when you're *trying* to make him miserable. Oh, and make him wear a condom from now on.

Today, I demanded to know why my boyfriend takes so long in public toilets. He admitted his ex was such a nasty ho, she would drag him into public toilets whenever she wanted dick in public. So now every time he goes in one, he gets a boner and has to "get rid of it" before he can come out. FML

Today, I found out my wife is pregnant with our third child. This wouldn't be a problem but we only want two kids and I had a vasectomy 6 weeks ago (they take 3 months to be effective). We weren't careful only one time, and since it was difficult to conceive the two we wanted, we didn't think it would be a problem. FML

Today, I was denied food stamp assistance. Apparently, you need to work 20 hours a week while being a full time student to qualify or have a work study. I was recently suspended from my work study for calling off because my aunt died, and if I worked 20 hours a week, why would I need food stamps? FML
