Today, the guy I've been dating for 3 years got engaged to a woman I can't stand. I work as a waiter at a catering company, they hired the company and requested me as a server for their engagement party. FML

I think you people have missed the point. The OP is WALTER, a guy, and has been dating the groom-to-be.

Please, learn to read. The OP is not Walter. It's WAITER. You know, with an "i". Dumbasses.

Suck it up, Buttercup! Be glad you have a job.(such as it is) you whining little queer!!

FEL (everyone's lives) here. OP gets dumped, his ex feels pressured to go into self-denial and the ex's fiancée will eventually find out that she's marrying a closet case. I think the issue here is not so much the gender designation of "waiter" but the fact that everyone springs to assume that "waiter" can apply to women since they don't want to acknowledge the existence on FML of TEH GAY OMGZ. Heteronormativity FTL.

Well, I pointed out the gender thing, but I would have no problem whatsoever with OP being a guy and recognize it could be either way -- it's just that the gender of OP is ambiguous rather than definite.

Alan, who's a mod, responded to the gender discussion above, stating that "waiter" can indeed be ambiguous. I got a story published a few days ago; I couldn't specify my gender when submitting it through the app, but I used a term that made it clear which gender I am. When the story was published, that term was changed to something applicable to a male or female. It's just a guess, but maybe the mods keep unspecified sexes unknown to prevent hateful reactions/flame wars. Personally, I don't care one way or another which gender the OP is. Even if he's male, though, his bf may not be closeted, in denial, or dooming himself to being unfulfilled forever. Plenty of bisexuals marry. Sometimes they stay completely monogamous; sometimes they stay monogamous with their SO's gender while still dating the opposite, often with their SO's approval or participation. Maybe the OP is a male, but doesn't want to share his bf with a girl he hates. He could just be pissed at being relegated to the role of hired help, rather than the bf's equal partner. I realize I'm assuming a lot here, but no more than you are. It's not really fair to conclude that the bf is a self-loathing closet case and everyone arguing about the OP's sex is a homophobe -__-

if you were dating him for three years how'd he just get engaged to another chick outta the blue like that? clarification is needed lol

I never realized what a vengeful society we live in.

If the OP is a guy, it's F the bride's life, because she's marrying a gay. Though, if her future husband is bisexual, her life rules.
