Today, after recently quitting a terrible job which made me miserable, I went to my first work meeting at my new job. I was excited to start fresh and meet my new coworkers. Instead, I met my boyfriend's extremely jealous ex-girlfriend. She didn't look excited to see me. FML

Today, I met my ex's new boyfriend. I was at work, cashiering at the movie theater that they were apparently having their first date at. We broke up less than 24 hours ago. FML

Fancy seeing you here

Today, I met my girlfriend's husband for the first time. It went surprisingly well, despite neither of us knowing the other existed before tonight, but it's still a miserable situation no matter what. FML

Today, I finally started my dream job. I turned up for work with a huge smile on my face. Imagine how much my face dropped when I saw that I had to share an office with the girl I stood up last weekend. FML

Today, while at work, my ex-boyfriend came in. I pretended not to see him, hoping he would just pass on by. No such luck. He stopped to tell me that he was there for orientation. My company hired him. FML

Keeping up with the Joneses

Today, I met my ex from the college, and he invited me to dinner. Back then, he was rude and a bit abusive, but I agreed anyway. The man I saw today is loving, caring and fun, with a good job, and I really liked his wife. On the other hand, I'm between jobs, and my relationship's turned into the utter bore. FML

Today, I was at work when my ex and his girlfriend came in. She went on to claim that I was excited when I saw him… but I was actually happy because my shift was ending in 5 minutes. FML

Today, I was excited about being set up on a blind date by one of my new co-workers. It turns out the guy she thought would be a "totally perfect match" for me is the ex who cheated on me. FML

Sharing is caring

Today, I ran into an old friend of mine at the store. All was going fine, until she showed me her new fiancé. My now ex-boyfriend. FML

Get out

Today, I went for a job interview. I'd resigned at my current job and applied for somewhere closer to home. They hired me on the spot, and as I was leaving, I saw my abusive ex-boyfriend working in the store. So… now I'm working alongside my ex who abused me for two years. Time to apply elsewhere. FML

Kill her with kindness. Bitches hate that plus then she will look like the bad guy :)

I'd have been a little more nervous if she WAS excited to see you...

Sounds like you traded one bad work environment for a worse one. If extremely jealous as you say, especially now the ex-girlfriend, shes probably already plotting how to make your life hell at work. If me, I'd be looking elsewhere. Who needs that crap eight hours a day.

Would you be overjoyed if your ex's new girlfriend got a job at your place of work? I don't think you have to be crazy jealous for that to suck.

Good point #13. Looking at it now, probably uncomfortable for both. The only thing that makes it worse is if the ex-girlfriend has been an issue in their relationship outside the work environment.

Best to keep your boyfriend away from the office, it'll make you look better.

Its not clear from FML that is she is in the same section of urs or not....if not you can avoid her..if yes my advice is do ur work honestly..leave rest on circumstances..

Don't worry OP, there's only so much she can do in a professional environment over something so petty. Just ignore and be polite to her, even if she's rude back you'll come out on top.
