Today, I went to the casino and put $500 into a game and lost it all. I tried another $100 and won it all back, plus some. Instead of walking out ahead, I kept trying to hit bigger and ended up losing all my rent money. Rent is due and now I can’t pay it. FML

Today, I quit my job and sent a mass mail on Facebook that I was moving to a different state with my long time boyfriend. He called me later that night to tell me we aren't moving after all. Now we are both jobless with loads of bills to pay by the end of the month. FML

Today, I told my unemployed boyfriend to pick a town anywhere in the country that he thinks he can find work in. I offered to find myself a job there, find a flat, and pay for rent, bills, and food while he looks. He said I was selfish for wanting him to hurry up. It's been three years. FML

Today, my boyfriend of six months, who happened to be my first kiss, broke up with me after borrowing 120 dollars. Not twenty minutes later, he was at the bar drinking with my brothers and my dad. FML

Time to move on

Today, I found out my boyfriend is cheating on me. His excuse was that I never had time for his needs anymore. He’s unemployed but I guess me working and studying to get my degree so we could move out of his parents’ house was too much. Now I have no place to go. FML

Today, I had to choose between staying with my boyfriend and moving out to a better job. I chose my boyfriend. He promptly left me because I didn't take the job. FML

Today, I lent my sister $1000 because she and her husband were in some debt. They used the money to go gambling in Vegas and won a major jackpot. They won't even give me a cut. FML

Today, I just got a new assignment for the moving company I work for. Two weeks ago my fiancé dumped me and I moved out of the house. Almost all of the furniture was mine and it took forever. The new moving assignment I have is moving her new boyfriend into my old house. FML

Sue him. You can get half because YOU gave him the $20 that won him the $21,000 dollars. Yes, I'm serious! He wants to be a dick, you can be one too.

You're better off. Move on, enjoy your place, and find somebody better.

Just watch. In a month, he'll be at your doorstep, broke off his ass, and begging for you to come back to him.

Wow, if he's that kind of a boyfriend, he doesn't deserve a kind person like you. Besides, usually when people win jackpots, they feel overpowered and they will commonly use all of their money in some Poker game or something.

Damn! Now this is the first FML in almost months that I would actually consider an FML. You got royally screwed over. Take him to court!

Sucks, but it's not like he was going to help you pay for the apartment anyways. Now you're better off without that loser. FYL, but also kinda YDI for giving your useless boyfriend money to play with. What are you, his mother?

"Today, after picking up $20,000 in casino winnings, I met a couple of beautiful, funny women who were so much more fun to be with than my always tired and complaining ex-girlfriend. But when I woke up the next morning, the women were gone and so was my money. FML"

The YDI's would be strong with this one.

Why would you want to move in with a guy who makes you work two jobs so the two of your can live together while he does nothing? Sucks that he got a lucky streak like that, but you are much better off without the deadbeat. So I'd say you got the real win in the end.

Be glad that you aren't dating him anymore, especially before marrying him. I'm sorry that he was such a jerk, but you got off relatively easy. At least he didn't fleece you and your parents for over a year, steal from you and your parents while you were together, and then rob you blind a few years later, after you broke off the engagement - everything including my fridge, washer/dryer, clothes and pots and pans. My suggestion to you is to either read self-help books or see a therapist about your codependency. "Beyond Codependency" and "Codependent No More" are two excellent books. ;)

He clearly doesn't deserve you, but I'm glad you have your own place now! Bet you $20 he will forget to pay the taxes for it and end up in jail though ;-)
