What a surprise!

By damnit. - This FML is from back in 2012 but it's good stuff - United States - Saint Louis

Today, I was training a new girl at work. We're always told to find "common interests" with the people we are training to make it less awkward for them. Little did I know that our "common interest" would turn out to be my boyfriend. FML

Now you can train her to be team orientated when you plan together a way to get back at your ex- boyfriend

Don't you mean "Our boyfriends?" Other than that you two should go all John Tucker Mist Die on him ;)

Maybe it was the other chicks boyfriend.

That girl interested in Op's bf must be the type who would try and steal him. If someone is taken then learn to ******* move on. People are dumb.

Good on the OP for having some initiative, but damn that sucks....

Nothing in the FML says that he cheated, how do we know that she isn't a stalker? But if he did cheat, them by all means get revenge.

I agree. Doesnt mean he's cheating. This exact fml happened to me at work. This girl (huge stalker) was bragging about how she lost her V card to my boyfriend back in the day. So awkward.

I thought it meant that the other girl just had a thing for OP's man?

actually sounds more like a cheat. if not then that is awkward if so then that sucks op you should sit and have nice long chat with this girl about how to get back at him like #2 says lol

"Douche bags! Douche bags everywhere!"

Your comment doesn't really work when you consider the fact that the only person here who could possibly be a douchebag is OP's boyfriend, and there's only one of him.

Everywhere in this world. Most common on the Internet and carlifornia

You will find a whole lot at any high school.

Funny enough, I don't think that common interest made the training less awkward for the new girl

I feel as if, your boyfriend is gone now?

Well if he's really that type of guy, he's not worth getting upset over. The FML is worded oddly though. A common interest could mean that the new coworker just likes OPs boyfriend, its really not too specific to the extent of the connection between the coworker and the boyfriend

But it wouldn't be on FML if the new girl "just likes" OP's boyfriend.

It doesn't have to be devastating to be an FML. Plus OPs name is 'damnit.' I'd say that's an under reaction to being cheated on, I'm not saying it definitely isn't so, but its a possibility. We just need more information

Maybe "common ground" would've been better than common interest

I think you're supposed to assume that he's a scumbag, and that he's dating two girls.

I read it as perhaps the other girl is much hotter and is a threat because the other girl is insecure.
