Today, I went to a social event with a very attractive male co-worker. Things were going awesome, we were flirting and really hitting it off. Then his 'wife' called. FML

Today, I met a new guy at work who wouldn't stop hitting on me. We ended up on a six-hour shift together watching a pool, so we were wearing nothing but bathing suits when he began grabbing me inappropriately. When I confided in my female coworker about it, she told me that he was her husband. FML

Hit and miss

Today, a guy was hitting on me when I was at a café. I told him I was married, but it didn't deter him, so I told him to go away. Later, my husband came home from work with his boss for dinner and sure enough, it was the same guy who was hitting on me. Suffice to say, it was one awkward dinner night. FML

Today, I was talking to this girl I really like at my work. Everything was going fine until our boss called me into his office. Apparently I was being a little too flirty with his daughter. FML

Today, after months of hardcore flirting with this incredibly attractive guy, he invited me to hang out. At which point he introduced me to his boyfriend. FML

Today, I went to my husband’s work party where employees could bring a plus one. There, I met the colleague he talks so much about. She looked noticeably disappointed and said to my husband, “Wife?! You told me you were single!” We’ve been married for 7 years. FML

Today, I ran into my husband and his mistress. He was picking her up at the airport. I was catching a flight to a conference with my boss. He had flowers for her, and his arm around her. My boss knows my husband as well. FML

Today, after what I thought was several weeks of flirting with a coworker, I asked her out on a date. She asked if it could be a double date, and I said yes. I brought a friend, she brought her husband. FML

Today, I tried hitting on the new receptionist at work. After a few flirtatious comments and subtly hinting that I thought she was bangable, she informed me that she's married to our boss. FML

Today, I was talking to a nice guy on a dating app and we exchanged numbers. Later, I got a call. It was his wife asking me to stop talking to her husband. FML

any man who would accept a phone call from their wife is obviously not trying to hide anything- therefore, probably always wears his ring- therefore, YDI for not doing a ring check

Meh. I think that often one person considers it "flirting" while the other person is just trying to be sociable. It could be only the OP thought they were "really hitting it off" while the dude just thought he was being friendly.

That doesn't mean that you can't still be his mistress. :3

Pretty much goes with the territory of getting attached to really attractive people. There's a lot more competition for them, and a lot more vomiting at the restaurant.

Why did you write wife in quotation marks? Is he not actually married? (Perhaps that's the FML? I don't know; I'm confused.)

Yes! I don't usually post grammar corrections, but in this case it really makes a difference. "Wife" in quotation marks = he doesn't really have a wife, he just faked a call or something as an excuse. Wife with no quotation marks = he has an actual wife. I'm sure it's the second... but stupid unnecessary quotes.

I'm also very confused at the use of quotation points?! But anyway, the OP doesn't imply that it was a date, just that she liked him and she thought something was going to happen between them but then she found out she was married. Hardly an FML, i feel more sorry for his 'wife'

Sorry, but your life isn't ****** just because your attractive coworker is married. Stop whining.

Just because they were flirting and hitting it off at a social event does not mean that it was a date. Sure, maybe she thought it was one, but you always assume way too much with these things. Oh, how I love/hate Pimpin88's thought-barfing.

Yeah #29, what a douche. Such a back-stabbing, cheating liar for going to an event for work with a co-worker. Gothic-Cat-lady? No wonder you hate men so much, Just because no guys look at you, doesn't mean they're douchebags. Go get some sun

Is the FML that the OP's co-worker pretended the phone call was from his wife when it was really someone else, as a ruse in order to blow her off? Or is the FML that the OP doesn't know how to use quotation marks correctly? :)
