Miscellaneous: Today, I was coming home from a date, I saw my ex standing in...

Today, I was coming home from a date, I saw my ex standing in my drive-way. He had dumped me 2 months ago saying he couldn't talk me. To make him jealous, I made out with my new guy before greeting him. Turns out he couldn't talk to me because he had had cancer and had been afraid to tell me. 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 several years spent hung up on my ex, I was finally moving on. I was on a date with my new boyfriend when my ex walked past us. He broke down crying, got on his knees, and begged me to come back. FML

Today, I went to meet a guy that i had already started to be involved with at a bar. We laughed, kissed and had a great time, until he admitted he was just doing all of this to make his ex-girlfriend jealous. Guess who was waiting for me outside. FML

Devious

By savvylady - 18/06/2009 04:52 - United States

Today, I was invited out to a date by my ex-boyfriend. He seemed really excited to reconnect and kept holding my hand and complimenting how I looked. Out of nowhere a girl runs up to him screaming. It was his current girlfriend, he was using me to make her jealous. FML

Today, I made my way to a bar for a first date with a guy I had been talking to online. It turned out he was actually my ex-boyfriend in disguise, trying to get revenge for dumping him. FML

Today, I was hanging out with my ex's new girlfriend. I found out he was dating us both at the same time and was comparing between us. That is why he broke up with me two years ago and is still with her ever since. FML

Today, I went on a date with a guy I've been talking to. We ended up at his house around 4 a.m., but as we walked through the front door, his ex-girlfriend was sitting on the couch, apparently waiting for him to get home. They still live together. FML

Creep

By fu2then - 09/03/2010 06:04 - Canada

Today, I ran into my manipulative ex-boyfriend at a party. We were chatting and I mentioned that the guys I have been seeing lately all turn out to be jerks. He said, "Yeah well, you dumped me and don't deserve to be happy." Apparently he has been creeping and scaring off any guys interested in me. FML

OP, that was stupid of you to do. I kinda expected the FML to end like, "I made out before greeting him so my ex keyed my car." I probably would have. Even if he wasn't your ex, why would you stop to make out before greeting anyone who is waiting in your driveway? That's just dumb and indecent. Regardless of the circumstances of your breakup, be freaking mature about it. My ex proposed to me and then broke up with me two days later without any good cause, and STILL I wouldn't stoop to your level of maturity and make out with my boyfriend in front of him. That's just dumb.

And yet, you'd probably have keyed her car yourself... :P

You obviously need to take a look at the comments before asking such a stupid question.

You should be more concerned with his life rather than yours!

I'm gonna go here with what happened was ok. If he was too cowardly to talk to you about something that is important and he'd want your support with (the cancer), and he decided instead to dump you, then whatever followed was his fault (i.e. that you'd be mad at him.) However, always a bad idea to use one guy to make another guy feel bad. Both end up mad at you.

I really don't see what she did wrong. Yeah, she was making out with her new boyfriend, but he dumped her without any explanation and probably hurt her a lot. I think a lot more people than would admit would do the same thing or want to. You're kind of in a rock and a hard place. I know that cancer is terrible, scary and hard to deal with, but that does not excuse the way he treated you. It's one thing to break up with you and say he's dealing with something he doesn't want to bother you with or such. It's another to dump you and say he can't speak to you anymore. I honestly wouldn't go back out with him.

Where in the FML does it say he treated her badly? For all you know, he told her that he had something that he needed to think about but he wasn't ready to talk to her about it yet. People need to stop saying it's the ex's fault for not telling her the truth in the first place, but you know what? Some things are freaking hard to deal with, and a life threatening disease is one of them. Maybe he got scared because he was getting to close to her and didn't want to get even closer and then die. She's the one who was going so low to try and make him jealous, it's not like he'd gotten another girlfriend in those two months and she was just trying to do the same to him.

if you wanted to make him jealous, then you still care and just don't know how to cope well with breakups. why was he afraid to tell you? maybe you are an immature drama queen and he didn't need the stress at a difficult time in his life. you sound self centered. it's time to grow up and give him support- as a friend - not romantically.
