Love: Nice timing

Nice timing

By heartbroken - This FML is from back in 2013 but it's good stuff - United States - Huntington

Today, I took an exam in order to apply for a graduate program I want to get into. Last night, my boyfriend decided it was a good time to break up with me out of the blue. I broke down three times in the middle of the test, and I just barely failed it. FML

Today, the night before an exam, I found out my boyfriend of one and a half years was cheating on me with a girl who has the same name as me. Not only that, I ended up consoling her for hours as she cried over him. FML

Today, my boyfriend broke up with me, right after I turned down an amazing job opportunity in another location, just so I could be with him. FML

You got mail

Today, I was making out with my boyfriend. When we took a break and went downstairs, he checked the mail. He had received a letter from his ex-girlfriend, which he opened in front of me. He then began sobbing on my shoulder and broke up with me. He still had to drive me home. FML

Today, after dropping a class for the first time ever in college in order to focus on raising my grades, I failed the test that I dropped another course to study for. By not finishing on time. After 3 days of studying. FML

Today, I'd been getting ready to hear my boyfriend's proposal, as his friends had told me he'd talked to them about planning it. He showed up at my house out of the blue… to tell me he's breaking up with me, only to find out he proposed to his ex hours later. FML

Today, after my boyfriend broke up with me and I'd chained-smoked all night, I had a driving test. With only 3 hours of sleep, I literally drove through a red light during the test. FML

Today, my boyfriend jokingly said that if I didn't pass my exam, he wouldn't have sex with me for a month. I failed it, and now he thinks I did it on purpose. FML

Today, I had a mental breakdown. Many things have been going completely wrong in my life, and I finally decided to let my boyfriend know about it. After about an hour of explaining and pouring my heart out, his response was, "I think we were better off as friends." FML

I'm sorry :( Your ex is a jerk. He should've waited until after the exam! Can you retake it?

Hopefully there are retakes. A lot of entrance type exams give up to three tries. It'll get better, im sorry :/

OP it might be worth contacting someone at the school to explain and ask for a retake. They might surprise you. It's totally unfair of your ex to **** up your future, I hope you sort this.

I completely agree, there has to be some exception/retake policy for personal issue. I'm sure you're not the first person to have something traumatic/tragic happen to them the day before the exam, OP. and you just barely failed it, so you'll definitely pass next time. =]

It wasn't out of the blue -- if you got into grad school, you wouldn't be trapped in the kitchen making his sammiches. Move on from that dick, advance your education and find a man who's worth a shit.
