Today, my whole office is treating me like a pariah because I rejected the new guy who has autism. I have a history of being domestically abused so why should I date a guy who, by his own admission, loses his temper easily and attacks people? That’s right, I shouldn’t. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, a guy at work pulled me aside to tell me that I probably shouldn't be working a job where I have to interact with customers, because of my autism. I don't have autism. FML
Today, after spending 4 years without dating after an abusive relationship, and going out with who I thought was a decent guy for 6 months, I told him I have bipolar disorder and take medication for it. He responded by dumping me saying he can’t date someone who’s “crazy.” Back to putting my wall up I go. FML
Today, my boyfriend came over to meet my family. When I told him I had an autistic brother before he came in, he immediately broke up with me because he claimed autism is another word for overprotective. I've been dating an idiot. FML
Today, I realized my ex-boyfriend is still in love with me. I told him I could never date him or be anything more than friends, telling him it’s creepy, but his response was, “Oh, well, my autism makes me see things differently.” I can’t get through to this guy. FML
Today, I was fired from my job. Why? Because my boss has been dating my newly divorced mother, and he didn't want family get-togethers to be "awkward." FML
Today, my boss found me on a dating app. He found it perfectly acceptable to message me and didn't understand why I wasn't comfortable with it. He now wants to have a meeting with me about inappropriate behavior outside of work. FML
Today, after months of dealing with homophobic abuse for my coworkers and supervisors at my previous job, I was excited to start my new job where most of my co-workers were LGBTQ. I find out a majority of them don't like me because my fiancé is a deputy sheriff. FML
Today, I got a coworker at my new job in trouble, because he kept harassing me and asking me out, even after I clearly told him I wasn't interested. Turns out he's very popular around here, and everyone now hates me for being a trouble-maker and not "taking a compliment." FML
Today, I had a date with a man who works as a psychiatrist. He diagnosed me with borderline personality disorder during dinner. FML
Today, I found out that my boyfriend (who is autistic just like me) was cheating on me. When I asked him why he would do this, considering he’s the type of guy who cannot stand being single, he said, and I quote, “I feel like I deserve better.” He’s now my ex, and is yet again complaining about being single. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Your safety is the priority. If they feel sorry for him, then they can date him.

Dear HR, my co workers are actively creating a hostile environment because I refused to romantically date someone who openly admits that he is emotionally unstable and prone to violent outbursts. Whilst I do understand that we should all be welcoming and supportive towards new colleagues, I am genuinely struggling to understand why my coworkers seem to think that I must prostitute myself to an unsafe individual for their acceptance and a comfortable work environment. Please advise on the best course of action in this situation. Thank you, blah blah.

File a complaint with HR that your coworkers are creating a toxic work environment for you. (Hopefully, HR isn't part of the bullying.)

Regardless of his condition or your history, you have no obligation to date anyone you're not interested in, period. Anyone who thinks you should is an ass. Of course, I'm assuming you weren't rude or cruel about how you rejected him.

Why does anyone else have an opinion about your love-life!?

Nobody is obligated to date anyone else. For any reason. Period. Besides, obligation or pity would be an utterly *terrible* foundation for any sort of relationship, anyway.

So, your job includes manditory dating of other employees? Most jobs frown on in-house dating, though I don't see how it's their business. Anyway, F them. You don't have to explain why you don't want to date anyone, ever!

Document, document, document. Hostile work environment.
