Today, I asked a buddy of mine if he wanted to see a movie. He said he was busy that day, so I decided to go alone. Midway through, the couple behind me is making out and kicking my seat. I turn around, and it's my ex-girlfriend making out with my buddy. FML
I agree, your life sucks (36129) - you totally deserved it (1468)

lol- quite. Well said. He said he was busy, and this was true, but it's pretty clear this was an omission statement because he felt he had something to hide. This is not friendly behavior.

How is this an FML? His friend ditches him to go on a date? every person in the thread would do that.
it was his EX girlfriend, she's fair game.
Have you never heard of the buddy code? My guy friends and I would give it time and ask if it's okay, like good friends who consider each other's feelings. You break the code, you may expect the beat-down to be severe.
In accordance to Man Law, if the OP dumped the girl and she's hot, the buddy must wait a minimum of 2 weeks before trying to hook up with the girl in question. The friend is not required to ask permission of the OP to date his ex, except for in the event that the OP was in love with said girl or she dumped him. This still requires the 2 week waiting period. If the friend is in violation of the aforementioned rules then he is to be stripped of his man privileges and demoted to Man Bitch.

It was 6 months on Man law....not 2 weeks. BURT REYNOLDS LAID IT DOWN!!!

Not if he breaks up with her. 6 months is put into effect if the friend does not wish to ask the one who was dumped :D

How about this? My best friend kept going off-and-on with this girl, seemed to be obsessed/in love with her. I became good friends with her, too, since my best friend liked her so much. Finally, she thought she loved him and they started a serious relationship. But a month later, after they fucked, he dumped her on her birthday. She was heartbroken and I tried to comfort her while still being best friends with her ex. It's been 3 months and he's moved on, they no longer even talk. Can I hook up with her now?
#79 yes you can. He dumped her and its been well over 2 weeks. Thats well within the rules of Man Law. If your buddy gets mad refer him to the 3rd and 30th law of Man Law. The 30th states that no man shall ever cockblock another man under any circumstances. That deed is left to the fat and/or unattractive friend of the woman being pursued.

man law? seriously.. do you honestly think that theres some type of rules you should abide by when it comes to women.. thats a little annoying, it all depends on the situation.
#83 - On 07/13/2009 at 3:15am by Playthismelodyx3
#83 from the simple fact that you're a woman, your opinion on Man Law doesn't matter. Just like how my opinion on Girl Code, or whatever yall call them, doesn't matter cuz I'm a guy. Oh and FYI Man Law doesn't just apply to rules to follow when dealing with women. If you could read you would realize that the rule I stated has nothing to do with how to deal with/treat/handle the woman, its a guideline on when its ok to date your friends ex.
#84 - On 07/13/2009 at 3:02pm by razzumfrazzum
its harsh but its his ex and its not like the friend made him the third wheel
and he didnt lie, he was busy
#45 - On 07/09/2009 at 3:12pm by Elizabeth_495_xo
wow. wat an asshole! i woulda killed him... kiss HIS gf or exgf now... :-) FYL.

I really, really hope your buddy's name isnt Frank. Because...if his name IS Frank... /:

Today, I asked someone to hang out, and they said they had plans. Later, I saw him out, engaging in the plans he told me about with someone I have no claim to. FML?
Oh wait... I don't see why anyone else should care about this one. He SAID he had plans, he did. Get over it.
#7 - On 07/09/2009 at 10:25am by go_rangers
Really? If it's no big deal he would have been honest about.
But i see what'cha did... twisting the FML like that. Clever :]
-.-
Oh yes it is a big deal. You need a buddy's permission to date an ex-gf or hook up usually depending on the circumstances/ how and when they broke up. Kick your buddy in the balls and make him buy you a beer to make up for it. Please refer to the Man Law FB group for further details. Thank you
I don't think he was dishonest at all... he said he had plans, and he did. If someone asks me to chill and i'm busy, I don't tell them the names of who i'm hanging out with or where i'm going or what i'm doing... i'm busy. that's enough.
i do understand it breaks man law, but that's more courtesy than anything else. it was a dick move by his friend, no doubt, but in reality... he has no claim. he didn't say that they JUST broke up, or that he has a true bromance with this guy... and since everyone exaggerates FML anyway, i'm assuming it's because it's a more casual friend and a not-so-serious relationship that ended a little while ago.
It sucks, sure, but not nearly to "FYL" status. get over it.
#15 - On 07/09/2009 at 11:01am by go_rangers
and you don't have a single other mate that would go to see a movie with you? wow your life IS fucked!
THAT SUCKS. FYLL. really
you should have thrown popcorn at them or coke(:
#12 - On 07/09/2009 at 10:42am by purple_nugget
Why? It's his EX-girlfriend, his friend was even considerate enough to try to spare his feelings. I think this worst thing that his friend did was interrupt his buddy's movie-going experience, and that's not even that bad. If it was his girlfriend, then you'd have an FML. This is just some pussy whining.
#24 - On 07/09/2009 at 11:46am by ForestFire0
lol, you should've followed them around after the movie and made it really awkward
#16 - On 07/09/2009 at 11:05am by shewasalmost18
oh my god! I love your name... perfect.
but isn't there an unwritten code where u can't d8 ur freind's ex?
#17 - On 07/09/2009 at 11:06am by Squirrellord911
I believe the standard is that you have to wait six weeks to date your buddy's ex if she broke up with him. Six days if he broke up with her.
#21 - On 07/09/2009 at 11:26am by DogTechnique
haha FYL.
on the other hand, this sounds like a very high-school situation, in which case, your ex probably wasnt anything serious, and your friend is as selfish as the next kid.
#19 - On 07/09/2009 at 11:14am by live_4_life
its your EX your not together anymore he can do what ever he wants to do with her
#22 - On 07/09/2009 at 11:39am by martymcfly12
So what? You are not going out with her, and your buddy shouldnt cancel the date just cause you wanted to go. He had a prior engagement and bringing a friend on a date is kinda wierd
Your FML should be 'i go to the movies alone -> i got no friends, FML'
#31 - On 07/09/2009 at 1:05pm by quirinus
FAAAKE. You didn't even notice your buddy was sitting right behind you until he started kicking your seat? You're a liar. And you obviously are begging for attention. Just stop.
You gotta admit, he actually was busy.
Or got busy.
#34 - On 07/09/2009 at 1:15pm by cecinestpasunnom
what in the world would lead you to even begin to consider he had a gf? couldnt think of a decent comment to post?
#47 - On 07/09/2009 at 3:20pm by fyourlife33
you didn't happen to notice them in the seat behind you and they didn't notice you? and they were so into the makeout session they were kicking around not caring about hitting your seat? you only have one friend you could possibly ask to go to the movies? you couldnt wait a day to go with someone? and you're from canada so noone really cares anyways
#46 - On 07/09/2009 at 3:18pm by fyourlife33
what's the problem? he really was busy (he had a date), and it's not like she's cheating on you (she's your ex, isn't she?). or do you expect your buddy to take you along on all his dates?
serves you right for going to the cinema on your own. the only people who do that are fat and have no friends/girlfriend o wait lol
SO WHAT?! He was busy that day, he had a date. So what if it's your ex, you don't own her! GEEZ what is with people? I wouldn't care if my friends dated my ex boyfriends... it's not like I'm with them anymore!
Well, if it was your ex-girlfriend that might sting, but you have no claim on her.
#56 - On 07/09/2009 at 3:58pm by mehwhateverr
How long ago did you guys break up? If it was recently then fuck him. If it was months ago then fuck you.
well, I would to three things if I were in that situation:
-find a new "buddy"
-find a new girlfirend
-elaborate some cruel, heartless and property-damaging vengeance, just for laughs
#61 - On 07/09/2009 at 5:16pm by fenrisulfr
Your "buddy" couldve just told you he was going on a date.
#66 - On 07/09/2009 at 7:01pm by Shyman4ever
Well atleast it was ur ex... But ur friend shouldve told u n made sure you were ok with it
#71 - On 07/09/2009 at 7:58pm by cheerchick4life
Could be worse, it could have been your gf and he atleast said he was "busy" not some lame excuse
#72 - On 07/09/2009 at 9:21pm by Pink_ElePhant88
People who don't need an excuse to go see a movie that they want to see. Going with friends is ideal but not necessary.
#76 - On 07/10/2009 at 1:17am by razzumfrazzum
Aww that's sucks!..he's not a true buddy if the does stuff like that!
#81 - On 07/10/2009 at 11:27pm by missbubbly101
YDI for going alone unless it was a really good movie
you also deserve it for saying buddy
