Awks

By GatorBoi - This FML is from back in 2016 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, I had to awkwardly sit next to my ex and her mother on a 2-hour flight. FML

Sounds like a good time to try skydiving for the first time, OP

Seems like a good time to tell them all about how great your life has been lately, or shrink into a tiny ball and try to disappear...

Next time pay the extra and check them as luggage.

No idea why you're getting downvoted, that's the funniest thing I've read on this FML.

So, just treat them like anybody else. You are an adult aren't you?

Thank her mother for teaching her all those wonderful positions then kick back and enjoy the flight.

This has all the potential for a Southwest commercial. #pickyourseat

Ex-girlfriend or ex-wife? (Or just an ex-****-buddy?) It does make a difference. But, FWIW, if bumping into an "ex" in public makes YOU uncomfortable, you've got some growing up to do.

It's not "bumping", it's sitting next to the ex AND her mother in a small space, with nowhere to go, for two hours. Don't be so harsh on him. Regardless of his level of maturity, this particular situation isn't a piece of cake if he cared about that person or if things ended badly or even at all. It's all about the connection you forge with someone, only for it to end, regardless of how deep it was - it leaves a mark, however small.

Iv had to do this after a horrible break up, my flight was 5.5hrs.
