Today, my best friend, the man who I've been in love with for nine years, finally told me he loves me and wants to spend the rest of his life with me. Unfortunately, it was while he was using me to practice proposing to his girlfriend. FML

Today, I finally had the guts to tell my best friend that I like him more than just as a friend. I was about to tell him when he excitedly told me that he met the love of his life yesterday. FML

Today, my best friend got engaged to the guy she's been seeing for five years. He also happens to be the man I've been in love with for eight. As she was giving me the details, she nonchalantly gave me her reason for accepting the proposal: "Why the hell not, there's always divorce." FML

Today, a guy that I've been friends with for almost 20 years, and for whom I have never shown even the slightest bit of romantic interest in, confessed his love for me. In front of everyone we know, at mine and my fiancé's engagement party. FML

Remember bars?

Today, my best friend whom I have been in love with for years, called me, proposed, and confessed his love for me. He was at a noisy bar so I asked him to call me back later and we'd discuss it. He called back later, hungover, with no recollection of our conversation whatsoever. FML

Not such a happy ending

Today, I get to see my best friend and love of my life of two years marry the man she loves. Back then, I lied and told her I was gay to avoid her finding out my feelings for her. FML

Today, my best friend told me she's been in love with me for over 4 years. I'm getting married to the man of my dreams in a month and she's supposed to be my bridesmaid. "Awkward" doesn't even begin to describe our friendship right now. FML

Today, I told my best friend I was breaking up with my girlfriend of 3 years. He thought it would be funny to tell her I was going to propose to her that night. She showed up telling me how much she loves me and that when we get married how great it will be. FML

Honestly, i feel really sorry for you. But you gotta go half way there. If he doesnt go the other half, then you should forget about it. In 9 years, im sure you could've prepared for this. But once again, i'm really sorry.

And during these 9 years did you ever think about telling him how you feel. Sounds like YDI.

this is silly! either grow a pair and tell him how you feel, or get over it and move on! This is no way to live your life, mooning over a guy who only sees you as a friend! FOR 9 YEARS!!!!

That's what happens when you pine your life away while you wait for somebody to notice you. Either have the courage to fess up or find somebody else. Sorry to sound harsh, but it's better than learning the hard way, which you WILL unless you act on it.

This FML annoys me - why can't you BE HAPPY for this guy? If you truly loved him you'd be happy for him and accept his decision to marry someone else. grrr.

Listen people. She doesn't "love" this guy. If she did then she would have said something about it or tried to go after him. She didn't. She wasted her time obsessing about this guy. She probably could have been married by now, but she decided to obsess about this man. No sympathy for you from me. And you suck.
