Today, the last of my college friends is getting married and now I'm the last single one. Don't worry though, if one ever gets a divorce we can hang out again. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I found out that the last girl from my graduating high school class is engaged to her boyfriend. I'm now the only guy from high school who's still single and I'm not even 30 yet. FML
Today, as I was creeping on social media, I realized that literally everyone I've ever dated is either happily married, engaged, or in a relationship. My last date was at the beginning of the summer. FML
Today, I saw yet another dear friend from uni get married, living the good life in their new home. Here am I in my 30s, with no love life, and feeling like that's never going to be for me. FML
Today, I went to my best friend's wedding. All my friends and their boyfriends were seated at one table, while I, as the only single girl in the group, was put on a table with all the other single people. They were all over forty years older than me. I feel like I have seen my future. FML
Today, the last of my close friends announced she is pregnant. Meanwhile, I'm single and my nest is empty. Well, not exactly, because even my freaking cat is pregnant. FML
Today, I've had to accept that, despite my efforts to stay in touch with the few friends I made at college, I have zero friends. FML
Today, I went to my friend's beautiful wedding. The only other single girl there was 5 years old. She caught the bouquet. FML
Today, I found out that the last of my super feminist "I'm never getting tied to a man" college friends got engaged. Apparently, I should have tried that tactic, as my current partner in life is my goldfish. FML
Today, I attended my best friend's wedding. Instead of throwing her bouquet, she turned around and handed it to me. I was the only single lady out of 150 guests. FML
Today, my marriage counselor got divorced. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Marriage won't stop them from hanging out with you, if they really cared !!!

Have they actually told you that, or said they only want to hang out with married couples? Several of my friends are married, and we still hang out regularly.

With every cat, you grow more powerful.

Why would you assume that they won't hang out with you? Or that you won't get married and hang out as couples? Or that you can't make new friends after college? Sorry you feel bad, OP, but this is not an FML, this is a normal part of a (good) life.

Ahah, that's totally my life now... It's true it's kinda depressing. I got a dog to wait until the divorces start! ^^

If marriage keeps people from being your friend, they aren't really your friend to start with. Effort and compromise is what keeps relationships of any kind alive and well.

They aren't real friends, then. If someone abandons you simply because their life changed and your didn't, and just so they can focus on other friends who are marriage for social gatherings, they are straight up trash and a false fake friend. Yes, I have had this happen after highschool, but even if I didn't, I would have the same opinion. I can't stand assholes. (Yeah that term is subjective but only speaking for myself here) There's no excuse that you can't have a marriage, even a baby, as well as some kind of social life even if it's once a week.

Story of my life. I'm trying to get involved with Meet Up so I can make new friends. Or I go it alone.

Those aren't real friends. Real friends put you before some random guy. Friendships should be your number 1 priority

To be fair, if they're married then chances are they're not just "random" guys. I agree friendship is a priority, but I'm sure their husbands are also their friend (and therefore also a priority). Imo it's all about balancing your time.

Why can't you hang out if they're getting married? Clearly you've stayed friends with them through the rest of the relationship, I don't think a piece of paper is really going to change anything.

Why do people assume they cannot hang out after a friend gets married? Is there some unwritten rule I am unaware of? I'm married and all of my friends are single. They come over and hang out with me no problem. I go and hang out with them no problem. My wife is completely content if she is or is not included in any hangout plans. We may be married but we're not attached at the hip or anything. She has her friends and I have mine and we are happy. If I want to go to a friends house, I tell my wife "Hey, going to Steve's place for a while. Maybe play some games or something." and her response is "Drive safe." Is this not proper?

I really wish people would stop seeing themselves as less than because they are the single one.
