Today, I found out the person who's been stalking and harassing me online was actually my now ex-boyfriend. He only confessed as I finally picked up the phone to report it to the police. He basically said he wanted me to turn to him for comfort and protection, so he could "feel like a man". FML
Today, I found out my boyfriend's mom tried to bribe him with an iPhone to dump me. He accepted. FML
Today, I found out my stalker is my mom's new boyfriend. FML
Today, my boyfriend of two years told me I was being too obsessive. This is the guy who has gone through my phone two separate times and deleted all of my male contacts. FML
Today, I found out that the threatening and insulting messages I received from my boyfriend's "stalker ex" were actually sent by him. Why? Because he cheated and he didn't want to admit it. I'm dating a psycho. FML
Today, my stalker - an annoying guy who's dedicated the past three years of his life to stalking me at every turn - somehow got a hold of my number and started texting me at 10pm about how I have no life. FML
Today, I found out that my cell phone bill was much higher than normal. After investigating, I realized that a text conversation I had with my stalker, telling him multiple times not to contact me anymore, was to an international cell phone. I have to pay to be stalked. FML
Today, my boyfriend came over and dropped off my phone, which I'd left at his place the night before. He immediately left in a sulk. As I looked through my texts, I discovered he was only so moody because I hadn't answered any of his calls or messages. I'm dating an idiot. FML
Today, I found out the real reason why me and my boyfriend of four and a half months have "so much in common". He used to be my stalker, who followed me around in a black hoodie and always posted stuff on my Myspace as an anonymous person. FML
Today, my boyfriend broke up with me via text message. Every 20 minutes or so, I'll get a notification that I have a new message, and I check it just to find that same message sitting there. I'm being trolled by my own phone. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Be cautious, as my ex tried that same thing on me. His reasoning for it turned out to be because he was cheating on me, and wanted to make sure I wasn't doing the same! (I wasn't) Enjoy though!

My parents do this. It sucks. Just turn off location services.

Someone has to learn something about trust

Well I'm glad you found out now instead of later. Have a nice long chat with him about respecting your privacy. And maybe turn location services off, just to be safe. But, hey, new Iphone!

See Op Run. Run OP, run.

"Everyone on the planet" is not cheating (though OP's boyfriend might be). However, people do tend to project their own values, standards, and morals onto everyone else, meaning they generally assume other people will think and act the same way they do. Have you ever heard the saying "a thief believes everybody steals"? This is why you get cheaters accusing their (faithful) partners of cheating in the absence of any evidence. On the flipside, this is the same reason so many "nice" and honest people are so easily taken advantage of- they literally don't see it coming.

Don't let him know you found out. Pass the phone to a friend to pass to a friend to pass to a friend. All day. All over the city/town/school/etc. Make sure it spends the night at a male friend's house. All is fair in Obsessive Possessive Stalking.

That's a massive over-exaggeration 72. There are many, many, many people on the planet who would never cheat.

My ex girlfriend tried to do this. Except I'm the one that bought the phones.

You two need to have a serious talk. If you've done something to betray his trust in the past, then you completely and utterly deserve this, it is the price you pay for getting back together again. However, if you did nothing of the sort, he needs to back off. I get that trust is earned not given, but you have to give a little to start out.

this kind of behavor is what ruins relationships. unfortunately it usually is a really long drawn out relationship death.

Also, unless he told you that, tracking someone without their permission is now illegal.
