Today, I was going to end a thing I had with this guy. It turned out that he got back together with his ex-girlfriend and was just using me as a back up. FML

Same thing different taste

Today, I went to meet a guy that i had already started to be involved with at a bar. We laughed, kissed and had a great time, until he admitted he was just doing all of this to make his ex-girlfriend jealous. Guess who was waiting for me outside. FML

Today, I was invited out to a date by my ex-boyfriend. He seemed really excited to reconnect and kept holding my hand and complimenting how I looked. Out of nowhere a girl runs up to him screaming. It was his current girlfriend, he was using me to make her jealous. FML

Today, I was hanging out with my ex's new girlfriend. I found out he was dating us both at the same time and was comparing between us. That is why he broke up with me two years ago and is still with her ever since. FML

Unstable

Today, after three months of hooking up and talking about dating, the man I was supporting emotionally went back to his ex, who'd reduced the restraining order on him to a no abuse order so they could be together. He left me in his bed to go be with her. FML

Today, a man came up to me and punched me in the face. He turned out to be the guy my ex-girlfriend cheated on me with. Apparently, she told him we broke up because I used to beat her. FML

Not the one

Today, an ex-boyfriend of mine came to the jewelry store I work at to pick out an engagement ring for his girlfriend. The same guy who just a few months earlier ended our 8-year relationship because I wanted marriage and he didn't. 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

Today, I made my way to a bar for a first date with a guy I had been talking to online. It turned out he was actually my ex-boyfriend in disguise, trying to get revenge for dumping him. FML

I don't see the issue here. Clearly, it was never serious to begin with.

this works out perfectly for you. the universe arranged itself around your life and you're being an ungreatful bitch. besides, "a thing I had with this guy"? you clearly didn't care too much.

plus if you were about to end it, who cares who broke up with who? unless you're so shallow that it matters to you

don't let yourself be a back up... want a real relationship? -- be "in control" about what's going on with you and your man! and i did NOT say that you should control him cuz that would just drive him away. you can't be lenient to men! cuz they'd end up just stepping on you and they won't take you seriously. they might think you're too hard on them for being in control at first... but trust me, they'll appreciate it in the end --and they'll realize that you care ALOT on building this relationship with them. and i a guy doesn't appreciate that, then he's an asshole. and you don't need him. you know what you want -- and if it doesn't fit your ''standard'' or ''what you want in life'', then say Sayanara!
