Today, I found out I have a restraining order against me from my ex boyfriend. Apparently, I drive by his house too much and it is considered stalking. He forgot that I live 2 houses down, and MUST drive by his house to get home. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I had a restraining order put on me. I have apparently been following a woman's daughter home after she leaves track practice and parking my car outside their home. I'm a math teacher at the school and leave everyday at 4:30. I have lived across the street for the past six years. FML
Today, my husband's ex-girlfriend is getting a restraining order on him. Turns out, for the past 2 years of our marriage, he has been trying to contact her and ditching work to stalk her. To top it all off, he told me not to come to court with him because he doesn't want her to see he downgraded. FML
Today, after almost a year of dating and getting dumped out of the blue, I found out my ex-girlfriend wants to get a restraining order against me. I guess dropping a box of her things on her porch after she wouldn't answer her phone is considered stalking. FML
Today, I had to serve my boyfriend's father with a restraining order. FML
Today, I got a stern talking-to from the police about threatening and harassing people. Who had called them? None other than my stalker, whom I'd just informed about the restraining order I was filing against him after finding him in my house. For the second time. FML
Today, I finally got a restraining order against my violent ex. My mom now keeps finding ways to tell me how shitty I am for breaking the "poor boy's" heart and how I didn't deserve him anyway. FML
Today, I found out that my violent ex has moved to my country for the sole purpose of tracking me down. I know this because my former boss called and told me she gave him my address. She loves the idea of us getting back together because, "You're such a cute couple!" FML
Today, my fiancé and I just moved into our first apartment together. Our neighbor across the hall? My ex-boyfriend who I've had to file three separate restraining orders on. FML
Today, I ran into my ex-boyfriend on campus. Upset, I decided to go to McDonald's to eat my painful memories away. While in the drive-thru line, I realized my ex was right in front of me. It looked like I'd followed him all the way from campus. He thinks I'm a stalker now. FML
Today, I discovered that my abusive, obsessive, psychotic ex-boyfriend from over two years ago still has a thing for me. How did I find out? Although I've ignored him walking unnecessarily past my house for the past two months, it was hard to ignore when he fell from a tree outside my window. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

What the. You have a retarded ex.

He must have a high opinion of himself if he thinks you would drive past his house every day just to see him. If you can't drive past his house how are you going to get home?

He just wants payback.

Are you sure the restraining order is real? Or maybe you're not tell us the entire story. A restraining order doesn't say anything about stalking. It will have something about not approaching within so many feet.

#23: Really?!?! Really!? How do you think you get to the point of a personal protection order? (aka: restraining order)

a restraining order is DIFFERENT than a order of protection or an ex parte. A restraining order is NOT related to a police department at all, you hire a lawyer to get one, and you can get one granted for almost anything. Orders of protection are much harder to get....

I definitely second #16. People need to get over themselves, trying to point out how ever FML is either fake or not worthy of an FML. If you don't like it, fine...I know there are quite a few that I read and I think "...Okay?" after doing so, but spamming up EVERY SINGLE ONE with at least one "This is sooooo fake" is obnoxious and counter-productive. Stop over-analyzing the site. It's not supposed to be scientific fact, it's supposed to be reading interesting/funny stories about people who have especially bad experiences in their life. I don't think I've ever seen an FML removed, so clearly whining about it isn't going to do anything except annoy the living daylights out of everyone just trying to enjoy themselves. Anyways, this does suck...it probably won't affect you since if you get in serious trouble for driving past your ex's house you can bring to their attention how close the two of you live, but it's still pretty irksome and stupid. Nonetheless, you can laugh at the fact that he's your ex since clearly he's completely self-centered and unintelligent.

Why should she have to? Not her fault her ex is dumber than a sack of hammers and she shouldn't have to change her route home because of him.

Depends how many mph you drive past and frequency and whether you always looking at his place? In any event seems like someone isn't over you! I mean he's looking out for your car and also he went through all that effort? Would make sense if you broke up with him? He's probably seeking attention. Lma0

I would suggest contacting the police office and going over that restraining order.... who knows they might even file a charge against him for pressing fall charges

but then again, to get a restraining order, he would have had to take her to court for it to go through. unless the OP meant she found out she was due in court for it. so to everyone saying it's fake, there is a chance she meant the latter.
