Today, the girl I dumped three years ago because she wouldn't take my band seriously is now a successful and rich environmental scientist. Meanwhile, I'm still unemployed, living with my parents, and can barely remember how to play a guitar. FML

In a way, YDI. It seems you were one of the idiots who had no backup plan just in case music didn't work out. But in another way, I respect you for attempting your dreams. Maybe try getting a stable job, and getting your life back on track, and one day maybe you could try again! Just keep a job, and another plan on the back-burner, just in case!

Yeah! My 34 year old son's band from age 14 to now was gonna be rich & famous! He lives off his wife, not me, I won't allow him to live off us! He's neither rich or famous!! YDI

This plan sounds good and all but the dumbass doesn't remember how to play guitar.

"Successful environmental scientist" LOL

Seriously Dude, how much weed are you smoking daily that you cannot even remember how to play the guitar very well? You are a loser and you will always be a loser until you get serious about your life.

I don't think it's the weed that made him forget. Keith Richards did way more than and can play guitar amazingly.

That's great! Now you can write a generic death/metalcore song about how "that bitch broke your heart" and it doesn't matter if you can barely play guitar.

Doesnt seem like she was your type anyway. Just sayin

I wonder if she would still be successful if you hadn't dumped her.

Be happy for her success, you probably would have just weighed her down.

YDI for three reasons: 1) You dumped your girlfriend for a BAND? Seriously? That's a ridiculous reason to end a relationship. 2) You clearly had no backup plan. Musicians have a very, very small chance of making it and you absolutely need a backup plan. Just because you've heard of a certain band or musician who risked it all and ended up becoming super successful does not mean you will. 3) How often did you practise if you can "barely remember how to play guitar"? If you're going to chase a career with a low success rate then you need to get serious and work your ass off! You should have been practising or working with your band or trying to organise gigs whenever you had the chance. The fact that you barely remember how to play guitar is a telling sign that you weren't as serious about it as you should have been.

4) The only reason he even wants her back is because she's rich, which makes him a shallow bastard
