Today, I found out the person who's been stalking and harassing me online was actually my now ex-boyfriend. He only confessed as I finally picked up the phone to report it to the police. He basically said he wanted me to turn to him for comfort and protection, so he could "feel like a man". FML
Today, I found out my boyfriend's mom tried to bribe him with an iPhone to dump me. He accepted. FML
Today, I found out my stalker is my mom's new boyfriend. FML
Today, my boyfriend of two years told me I was being too obsessive. This is the guy who has gone through my phone two separate times and deleted all of my male contacts. FML
Today, I found out that the threatening and insulting messages I received from my boyfriend's "stalker ex" were actually sent by him. Why? Because he cheated and he didn't want to admit it. I'm dating a psycho. FML
Today, my stalker - an annoying guy who's dedicated the past three years of his life to stalking me at every turn - somehow got a hold of my number and started texting me at 10pm about how I have no life. FML
Today, I found out that my cell phone bill was much higher than normal. After investigating, I realized that a text conversation I had with my stalker, telling him multiple times not to contact me anymore, was to an international cell phone. I have to pay to be stalked. FML
Today, my boyfriend came over and dropped off my phone, which I'd left at his place the night before. He immediately left in a sulk. As I looked through my texts, I discovered he was only so moody because I hadn't answered any of his calls or messages. I'm dating an idiot. FML
Today, I found out the real reason why me and my boyfriend of four and a half months have "so much in common". He used to be my stalker, who followed me around in a black hoodie and always posted stuff on my Myspace as an anonymous person. FML
Today, my boyfriend broke up with me via text message. Every 20 minutes or so, I'll get a notification that I have a new message, and I check it just to find that same message sitting there. I'm being trolled by my own phone. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Be cautious, as my ex tried that same thing on me. His reasoning for it turned out to be because he was cheating on me, and wanted to make sure I wasn't doing the same! (I wasn't) Enjoy though!

My parents do this. It sucks. Just turn off location services.

At least he loves you ?
letmehavemytea 21
That's not love.
EternalTime 7
It just means that he does not trust her
fakedsincerity 32
abusing someone by controlling them is not love. nor is buying someone expensive gifts with an ulterior motive. screams red flags, to me.
KimmyCupZ 21
I think that it is more along the lines of the fact that her boyfriend loves stalking her, #1.
swick25 22
@1 no that is far from love. he may love her but this is where she needs to have a conversation with her BF about this. it can go either way, talk to him and make him understand you are not comfortable with his actions or leave because it can turn bad and turn bad fast. I am not saying that he is abusive or anything like this so don't accuse me of it but things progress. happen to my sister on more then one occasion. so nip it in the bud and talk to him OP. And best of luck to you. and #19, unless OP gave him a reason to distrust her it is not just not trusting. that is usually the first excuse they come up with.

That's really really creepy.

Yeah, people who cheat often feel guilty about it and as a result project their own feelings onto their partner and become suspicious. That's a major red flag OP, you should have a serious conversation with your boyfriend about personal space and why he's not trusting you.

Stoking is a sight of abusive relationship OP
tigerisabelle 31
I agree 131! Stoking is indeed a sign of an abusive relationship. Once my friend's goldfish's first owner had their boyfriend's ex-boyfriends girlfriend stoked. The burns took a long time to clean up. (Im sorry I just really couldn't pass it up) (I know you meant stalking) (I really am sorry this is one of the douchiest comments out there)
Lizardgirl 7
^That was the most polite douchy comment I've ever read

To OP go in your privacy settings, location settings, and turn it off!!
missyb94 6
But then he'll question her about it later. Poor OP can't win.
DotDootyDot 17
My ex too needed to keep tabs on me to make sure I wasn't cheating on him, even though he was the cheater through the entirety of our relationship (four years). I guess they can't handle their own poison!
Cemetery87 10
so true #2! this always seems the case that those who accuse you of cheating often are actually the one who is cheating.
jnanderson 16
My parents do this. It sucks. Just turn off location services.
persianninja 23
Or you could jailbreak it and spoof your location
MrConcise 34
So you want to spoof your location and risk proving the jealous and insecure boyfriend right, potentially setting him off? Seems safe. EDIT: Awkward, realized you were talking about the parent issue. My bad.
TourettesGuyFTW 25
87: it depends om what the spoof location is. Could be fun to be at church all week. Or stuck in a public toilet for a whole evening. Or at the zoo every night. Or in Gotham on weekends.
ManiBoo 23
creeper.. O.o

Get. Out. Now.
Axipiter 24
43, my thoughts exactly. I've seen too many physically abusive relationships start this way.

If you're not doing anything wrong it's not that huge a deal? I know that there's a lack of trust there, maybe he is insecure or has has past girlfriends cheat on him or whatever. On the plus side, iPhone?
allplayedout 20
That's the exact same logic OP's stalker boyfriend will be using when he creeps on her in the shower "just to be sure."
xReDMemory 28
If he's insecure he shouldn't be in a relationship. The fact she did nothing wrong only makes it worse.
thefunmom 10
I bet you are also ok with the government spying on civilians too then?
skatoolaki 24
It is a huge deal and a red flag. It's unhealthy and stalkerish that's he trying to track her every move as if he owns her.
UnluckyIrishKid 9
No, I wasn't trying to say it was okay in any way shape or form. Just that in the boyfriend's eyes, he is going to see this as a logical thing to do, and it won't be easy to dissuade him of using the find phone function. Also, if everyone who was insecure simply didn't have relationships, there would be so many less couples it would be ridiculous.
jacob_bomb 9
"Find your Phone" doesn't show video or anything. How would he watch her in the shower? ._. It doesn't tell descriptive details or tell you what said phone holder is doing.
jc1015 25
I would dissuade him easily by breaking the phone and then breaking up with him
Welshite 39
Turn it off?
sarafyna2011 6
Might not be able to if she doesn't know the pw for the icloud acct
ChrisWaines 9
Oh Jeeze, I'm Sorry OP. guys like that are terrible, you should probably start trying to find a way to let him off easy and get out of that relationship before it turns ugly. Hugs to you, you got this.
amulya 14
Y'all need to have a talk.
bellles 18
I'm sorry OP, just talk to him. Communication, honesty, and trust are all key to a good relationship. Or turn off location services, anyway good luck !
