Today, at a party I bumped into a friend of my ex. We caught the same bus home. He started telling me about my ex's "totally insane" ex-girlfriend. He refused to believe me when I told him he was talking about me. I had to sit there for half an hour as my personality was ripped to shreds. FML

Today, I was at a party and spent the whole night bragging to my friends about how I thought this girl was totally into me. As we were leaving, we saw the same girl making out with my ex. FML

Today, I told my friend that I insisted on to remaining single, but yet he still wanted to introduce me to a friend of his. Turns out it was my ex, whom I haven't talked to for 5 years. FML

Today, I was talking to my best friend about how much of an asshole my ex-boyfriend is. After about 2 hours of non-stop bitching, it turns out she's actually dating him. FML

Today, my now ex-friend told me she had feelings for my ex and was also choosing him over our friendship, despite being fully aware of the crazy rollercoaster our relationship was and being there to hear every detail of the trauma. She classily told me at random, in a public mall. People suck. FML

Bragging rights

Today, I got in an argument with an ex-girlfriend who kept tactlessly bragging to me about her new boyfriend. I told her to read what she'd sent me, then pretend her boyfriend was telling her that. Fifteen minutes later, her boyfriend calls me, yelling for making her feel sad. FML

Today, I was walking towards a party where I knew my cheating ex would be. I passionately rehearsed how I would have a go at him big time when I met him. Guess who was walking right behind me and heard it all. FML

Today, while I was at the doctor's looking nasty and sick, I ran into my ex. He was my first boyfriend and he cheated on me the whole time, and then left me. I went into a room with my friend while we were waiting and told her EVERYTHING about him. Turns out everyone heard me, INCLUDING HIM. Now I have to see him tomorrow. FML

Queen's gambit

By xinxiulin - 26/08/2022 18:00 - Australia

Today, my best friends became friends with my ex-girlfriend, saying she was really nice. I found this to be an awful lot of BS because my ex didn't even like me, and liked someone else while dating me. That was an arsehole move. My friends all became friendly with her, disregarding my presence, and saying she's "so nice." FML

At least you don't give off an immediate vibe of douchey-ness if he didn't even know it was you.

Dear OP, Gd it. Ooooookay. Unless you put out a "please talk to me about third parties" vibe, none of this is a cosmic coincidence. I smell mind-games; a lot about this post doesn't add up. Are you prone to rambling on about your friend's crappy ex-boyfriend to random people and/or merely social associates? Let's just say yes for sake of argument... why *tolerate* listening to guy rant about his friend's supposedly crazy ex? Was he hot? Like hot enough to just let him talk? If you knew he was your ex's friend, was it 30 minutes into the conversation that you considered he was speaking of you? Did it take 30 minutes to convince him to *not* talk about his friend's crazy ex, at which point it was revealed to be you? Was it a 30 minute verbal fishing expedition where you were simply unsure until 30 minutes in when revealed BY you? Ugh... Occam says he knew you were his friend's ex, he wants/has wanted you, and this is his approach to flirting. With you.

Hi your a dick go get a life and quit ranting like someone cares what you say!

...I'll grant the dick accusation, buuuut... isn't telling someone to get a life on an online message board a little contradictory, given the context? Anyway, I can safely assure you that my 'rants' do not require people to care, as evidenced by the thumbs-downs. Thanks for caring though!

Well, at least the friend thinks you're nice enough to NOT be this crazy ex-girlfriend.

I wouldn't worry about it. Since when does anybody ever have anything nice to say about their exes? Besides if he talks about you that much it must be a coping mechanism... His only way to deal with you gone.

Don't worry about it, OP. Most douches use the "crazy ex" as an excuse for being dumped. It seems many men can't be honest about their own flaws, so it must have been the other person who caused everything. The way a man talks about his ex says a lot, A LOT about him.
