My mom scares a lot of people, and has, actually, scared off a few boyfriends of both my sister and me. I'm now married, and despite my mother frightening my husband on occasion before we got married, he assured me that he wasn't going anywhere!

Eh.. My ex boyfriends mother used to terrify me. Sometimes your family and your significant other don't mesh well. I don't think his reason was an invalid one, you guys probably just weren't meant to be.

Today, I had an awful day and angrily threw a glass at the wall. Needless to say, I didn't feel like cleaning it up, and I took a nap, intending to do it later. I thought I would remember the bits of glass everywhere when I woke up. I didn't, but my feet soon did. 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
