Today, a close friend called me to inform me of his newest relationship, and why he's kept it from me - he's been seeing his male cousin for several months and was tired of hiding it from the world. I had to keep my shock in check over the phone. FML

Today, I found out my ex-boyfriend of a month has a new girlfriend. That girl is my cousin, the same one who's been listening to my tears fall as I've confided my feelings to her for the past few weeks. FML
Today, I found out that the guy I've been dating for the past 7 months, who insisted on keeping us a secret because it was "too soon", is proudly showing off his new 19 year old girlfriend he met a month ago. FML
Today, my friend told me that she gave my number to a guy I've liked for a while. I asked why and she just said "He's just going to have to tell you himself." I got hopeful and really nervous. A few hours later he calls. Turns out, he's called to try and get a date with my gay friend. FML
Today, after being supportive for nearly a year, my brother finally came out of the closet and introduced the family to his new boyfriend. His new boyfriend happens to be my ex-boyfriend. Guess I know why that didn't work out now. FML
Today, I found out that my best friend and the guy I had a crush on for 2 years are getting married. The worst part is that they've been dating for 2 years in secret, and just came out about it now. I've been telling her for 2 years how much I like him, and she's encouraged me the whole time. FML
Today, I found out the guy i've been crushing on might be my cousin. Again. FML
Today, a classmate found out I have a boyfriend. He said, "Really? YOU??" FML
Today, I got a call from a friend asking why I didn't tell him I was engaged. I'm not, but I wish I was. Rumours about my life seem to be better than the reality. FML
Today, I told my friends I had been hiding something that I wanted to come clean on. My one friend responds by saying, "FINALLY you come out of the closet. It's about time." I'm not gay. I was just going to tell them my parents were getting a divorce. FML
Today, I got a text from my cousin saying that he's gay. I was thrilled and told him that I'm bisexual. He later texted me saying that his friend took his phone and said that. He also told all of our relatives. I accidentally came out to my family. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thank you, your FML was submitted, and will appear the moderation soon!

If it's his first degree cousin, they should be careful not to have kids. Maybe one of them should get on the pill. On an unrelated note, I flunked biology in high-school.

That's the joke about the biology flunking lol. While it's strange, if people are adults and no one was groomed and they're not having kids -shrugs- no ones harmed and it ain't my problem lol

Did you ask why he picked you to confess to?

Be sure you continue to support him. It's still difficult for those in the LGBTQ+ community to come out.

problem isn't him coming out.... problem is he dating his cousin

Marriage between cousins is actually legal in many states and in many countries around the world, and even more so if there is no chance of pregnancy.

Depending on where he lives, it's not a problem. Especially if they're not first cousins. There's still plenty of people who need to realize that.

Hey...on the bright side, at least he trusted you to vent to? So that says something positive about your character?... 🤢

I once went to see "Kiss of the Spider Woman" with a male cousin. We entered when the trailers were rolling so the theater was dark. When we got up to leave at the end, we noticed that pretty much the entire audience was made up of male couples. Oops!
