The cheek of some people

Today, the girl my ex-husband cheated on me with, and left me for, called me and asked for money to bail him out of jail. She asked me because I have my own business and I'm financially stable. FML

Today, I had to bail my ex-husband out of jail. He didn't want his new wife to get mad at him. FML

Today, I called my ex-girlfriend to see if she would meet up with me so I could give her money to pay off the rest of the TV we had on layaway before we broke up. Turns out she cancelled it and took all the money I put into it. I put $500 down. FML

He's a good man

By no booze, no boyfriend - 04/06/2013 20:31 - United States

Today, my now ex-boyfriend called me from jail, expecting me to bail him out. He'd tried to buy a load of booze at the liquor store and came up short by ten cents. The cashier refused to be short-changed, and he figured the only reasonable reaction was to punch her in the face. FML

Sounds iffy

Today, I spent almost 1000$ on an ex girlfriend, not because I wanted to, I was court ordered. She had her child with a guy who was already married, and told the government that I was the father. This was 2 years after she stole my credit card and maxed it out. FML

Today, my ex asked me to help her with a payment for a loan she had to pay, which she'd forgot she had to pay. I told her I needed to go to bank, and was busy at the moment. She told me that I needed to be more organized in my life. FML

Love is hell

Today, I found out the love of my life was talking to his ex. She chose to contact me, including screenshots of him begging her to, "Save me from this crazy bitch, she's trying to kill herself," while I was hospitalized for suicidal thoughts. I financially supported him through the pandemic. FML

The secret

Today, my boyfriend asked me to explain why my ex keeps DM-ing me for money. I can’t bring myself to explain to him that I’m still paying off the abortion my ex helped me pay for from the ex before him. FML

Not what you think

By WhataStrangeTripThisIs - 03/06/2021 11:01

Today, I got an unexpected call from my ex who I'd had been missing. He repeatedly called me a whore for having multiple hotel rooms in the last couple of weeks. I had them because I got a promotion at work and have been working out of town frequently. FML

I think the only proper response is to give her the Joker Laugh until she hangs up.

The key part of that is "ex-husband". Barring a court order for you to pay his bail, you have zero responsibility. Like most, I would have laughed or told her what she could eat.

You ought to bail him out, cheat with him and steal him back! Or, Plan B. Tell the police about some domestic violence incidents he committed on you when you were together. That'll extend his stay.

I assume you either said no or laughed and hung up. Otherwise you are very foolish. Don’t let others use you like that.

He is not your responsibility. He threw away the relationship and trust. Now he is not even brave enough to ask for help by himself. It is a blessing in disguise that he left. Do not cater to them.

I hope you told her he's not your husband and not your problem.

I hope you are as catty as I am, because the amount of fun I would have telling her to go **** herself, and to let him know I said no, would be EPIC. But I'm sort of a bitch, so....
