Today, my boyfriend of 3 years left me for a girl he's barely known for 3 weeks. FML
Today, my long-distance boyfriend of 2 years left me for another girl he’s known for 3 months, just because she’s closer. Never mind that I was the one who remained faithful to him for 2 long years, got him through the deaths of his parents, gave him money when he fell on hard times, among other things. FML
Today, I spent most of my morning comforting the guy I love because his fiancée dumped him for some other guy. He continuously told me I had no clue that kind of pain he was in. He dumped me three years ago for the girl that just left him. FML
Today, my boyfriend of 7 years left me for the woman I had previously expressed concerns about. I wouldn't feel so bad if he hadn't dumped me and then got with her not even two hours later. FML
Today, my boyfriend left me for his sister. No, not my sister. His sister. FML
Today, the guy I've been seeing for a year and a half ended it. Why? He found another girl. "She's just like you." FML
Today, I was dumped. My boyfriend was too afraid to break up with me, so he sent the girl he cheated on me with. FML
Today, my boyfriend of 5 years left me for my best friend. She actually tried to “comfort” me saying that “Some relationships are just not meant to be,” and “Now you’re free to find your soulmate” and that “One day, it will all make sense.” Alexa, play “Ironic” by Alanis Morissette. FML
Today, my boyfriend of the last 2 years, who is suicidal and heavily depressed, left me because he thinks I "deserve better". Not to mention I was his best friend, therapist, mother and girlfriend all in one. He left me with rent due in a week and all other expenses because he couldn’t take care of me in return. FML

Sounds like soon the two of you will be best friends being pissed off at a third girl together.

The same thing kind of happened to me. The girl my boyfriend cheated on me with had to train me at my new job. When I found out, and confronted her, she was totally disgusted with him and embarassed of herself even though she didn't really do anything wrong. She and I ended up going shopping together pretty often. Moral of the story is: The "other woman" often is pretty much blameless and can easily be a great person, don't villainize her :)

Walk away. You don't deserve to be comforted by her.

Seems more like she doesn't deserve the opportunity to comfort the girl.

Sounds like the show Reba

What did she do wrong? Unless she was out to steal OPs boyfriend, in the end, it's not really the girls fault.

The only one who doesn't deserve anything is OPs ex-boyfriend

31- Why, OP's ex deserves to be happy and as far as we know he didn't do anything wrong just because they have been going out for a while doesn't mean he can't break up with her.

Maybe you are up for a threesome... just joking. How it could happen that you allowed her to comfort you? To me this sounds like she is a back-stabbing bitch.

Maybe the other girl didn't know that the guy was involved with OP. I don't think the post is telling the whole story here.

Who says the boyfriend cheated? Maybe he met another girl and fell for her. He then broke it off with his current gf so that he wouldn't be cheating on her. Maybe this new girl is such a nice person she tried to comfort the old gf. You never know the full story with fmls.

Honestly, you're supposed to go for what makes you happy. In this situation, I feel no one is truly in the wrong. If you are not married or engaged, you should follow your heart. This girl probably feels really empathetic toward the OP, and having strong feelings toward OP's ex doesn't make her a bad person. You can't help who you love. If you need someone to help you through a tough time, you'll take comfort where you can find it. It definitely must feel like a huge slap in the face for her though. It's a complicated situation no matter which point of view you're looking at it from.

#2, you apparently got thumbed-down into burial for "just joking" about a threesome. We don't joke about that! You were really onto something. Try again, and this time tell us more about how to set up a threesome. I need to get some useful tips.

Mehhh... you dont need either if them, find better people, as those two used you.

She might not have know about OP until the the break up. So she wouldn't have known she was cheating.

C'mon man. You can do better than that. I believe in you. Turn that frown upside-down. :)

Well that is probably the worst person to be kind to you. Most likely one of those people who are like "awh I'm sorry that happened" and they just bring it up to rub it in your face. You can do better OP! Goodluck!

Hey, that's a potential friend you got there. Cheer up! :D

What a bitch! Go kick her ass.

She was nice enough to comfort OP. doesn't sound like a bitch to me. The other woman is not always the bad person.

He's not worth it - don't waste your time or feelings on the ass. You deserve better, you will find better. I'm sorry you have to go through this though :(

God, you just used every breakup cliche in the book.

I realized that only after I sent it. Dangers of posting anything to the Internet—actually, dangers of using your phone—after 2 am!
