Kids, Relatable and Awkward: Thanks for the memories

Thanks for the memories

By thankspal - 24/06/2012 10:57 - United States

Today, while shopping, I bumped into a guy I knew in high school. He went on about he heard I'd got married, looked like I'd had a baby, and that, "she looks just like you!" The kid was my niece, and my husband broke up with me 2 years ago. Thanks for bringing that up. FML

Today, I ran into an old high school friend while out with my husband. When she inquired who I was married to, I pointed to my husband, who was looking at shirts. She laughed and said, "No really?", insinuating that I couldn't get anyone that good looking. FML

Today, I ran into an old friend of mine at the store. All was going fine, until she showed me her new fiancé. My now ex-boyfriend. FML

Today, I saw my older sister for the first time in three years. We hadn't spoke since I found out that she was the woman my college boyfriend left me for. Unfortunately, our reunion was fueled by her two-year-old son's desire to meet his dad. My husband. FML

Misplaced fury

By Anonymous - 27/10/2023 15:00

Today, I was visited by a high school friend who lives in another state. She was furious because I got married a few months ago, and she kinda had feelings for me. I had to ask her to leave. Here's the funny thing: she's been married for 4 years and they have a son, and she didn't even invite me to her wedding back then. FML

Today, I found out that my husband only dated me because I look like what he thought the daughter he had with his first wife might look like when she's grown up. FML

Today, I went to my high school reunion. Someone walked up to me and said, "Wow, you look so different!" She then followed it up with, "You used to be so pretty, what happened?" FML

Today, I talked to my ex from Uni for the first time in 10 years. I told her my wife and I just had a baby, and her immediate response was, "I WAS A BABY ONCE!" What the hell did I see in her? FML

Today, while out with my family, I happened to run into "the one who got away." She smilingly introduced herself to my wife, who definitely noticed that she and our daughter share the same name. FML

Today, I received the newspaper from my hometown. My ex-husband's wedding announcement and picture were on the front page. His new wife has the same first name as me. All my Facebook friends from high school commented on how much weight I've lost and how good I look in my wedding photo. FML

Ydi for being so sensitive about it. He was trying to be nice to you and start a conversation.

How can your husband "break up" with you? He either divorced you or left you. Thank goodness you guys didn't have children. OP is a moron, I'm sure her husband was too. No smart guy would marry a dumb woman.

That's why you don't meet with those guys from high school. You'll be forced to recap your entire life and might end up realizing that you're a failure.

You don't break up with someone when you're married. You get DIVORCED..

He was trying to be friendly! Jesus. Yes, it sucks you are no longer married, but it's been two -years- since then, and the guy you were talking to had no idea. Time to grow up and move on...sounds like your bitterness is turning you into a bitch. This is not an FML--the guy had no idea. The FML here is "My husband divorced me and now I am filled with bitterness. FML". Maybe your husband was a dick, and it's his fault you're bitter, but either way, you are in control of it now and you have to be the one to end the cycle. After two years, it's time to move on, or you'll waste your life pining over it.

I don't think she was mad at HIM for saying that. Rather, mad at her situation. And because of what she doesn't have (that he brought up) this was a fml
