Today, after having to spend over an hour yesterday giving the man I'm in love with advice on how to impress his date yesterday evening, I got to spend another hour listening to how great their sex was last night. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my man complained about having to listen to my "emotional problems for hours." Yeah, we did talk for two hours, 90% of which was him asking for my advice on which new mattress to buy for his bed. FML
Today, after months of dinners, coffees, drinks, and a few nights together, the girl of my dreams told me about this awesome guy she met yesterday. FML
Today, I told my coworker who I have been crushing on for a while, that I really enjoyed our time last night. I immediately realized that the time we spent last night was in my sex dream. FML
Today, I spent the night with my guy, who I hadn't seen in ages. In the middle of sex, he answered his phone, told me to be quiet, talked to the girl on the other end about how boring his day was, then left the room to finish talking to her. When he came back, he asked if I felt like swallowing. FML
Today, I overheard my boyfriend telling his friends about how great the sex was last night, and how he loves to "make a bitch bend over". We've been dating for 3 years, and haven't made love in several weeks. FML
Today, I had to sit for an hour listening to my girlfriend talk to her ex about his testicles. She laughed more during that conversation than she ever has with me. FML
Today, I got to spend the entire day shopping for lingerie with the man of my dreams. He bought everything I'd ever wanted and more! Too bad it was for another woman. FML
Today, all I wanted was stress-relief sex with the guy I sleep with. Instead, I was so exhausted from my day that he thought I wasn't into it and ended up just talking to me about what we're going to do after college. Trading a booty call for a meaningful and heartfelt discussion. FML
Today, at my ex's wedding, I had to listen to his joyful recounting of how he met his bride and how they fell instantly in love and he knew she was perfect for him. All this happened while we were still dating. FML
Today, I called my girlfriend and she answered telling me how amazing the sex was last night and she can't wait to see me later. I didn't see her last night. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Well, if you couldn't woman up and just tell him how you feel, you can't exactly complain when he dates other people.

It sounds like you fell into the trap of being close friends with someone you want to date because you crave any sort of intimacy with them. Do yourself a favor and try to move on. You may feel guilty for seeing him less, but it's for your own good. Ideally you would've told him how you felt earlier.

You didn't need to give him the advice or listen to his sex descriptions, there are other ways you can be a good friend without torturing yourself. Friendship is a two way street, if he's truly your friend he should be able to understand and respect your feelings.

He probably doesn't even know

YDI. Why are you doing this to yourself? If he's not interested in you romantically, just move on. And if you want to stay friends with him, ok, but take some distance.

I really think you should've told him how you feel and stop giving advice to him on how to "impress the girl". It's hurtful to yourself. I can say I've been there a couple of times because I was afraid of getting too close then getting hurt. Either way though, you're getting hurt. Plus you are doing it to yourself.

Well, sounds like you did a good job! lol

This is isn't a tv show where just telling him how you feel will magically make him yours. If he felt that way about you he would have made it obvious (speaking as a guy). Sorry it sounds harsh but I don't want people giving her advice that will embarrass her further and ruin their friendship. The best is probably something you don't want to hear, which is move on and find someone else..

Not necessarily. I mean she gave him advice on how to get laid for crying out loud! Just speaking personally I would take that as her having no romantic interest in me. So I can see why the guy wouldn't pursue anything for fear of looking foolish. Best thing to do is put it out there and see where you stand even if it's not something you want to hear.

Why do you assume the guy would've made it obvious? OP clearly hasn't.

It just as easily could have been a conversation from the past. She confesses feelings. He confesses he does not have them, but would like to be friends. She doesn't stop having them. He figures everything's ok, because she hasn't said anything since.

You should have advised him to arrange a fake arm-wrestle competition with a buff looking waiter!

Sorry you're going through this OP, it sucks. Just fade out from this friendship, it's going to cause you too much pain otherwise. If he liked you he would have made a move, not gone out with someone else and told you about it. And telling him you like him now will do nothing but feed his ego. (I kind of wonder why he's telling you all about this other girl - I think he's going to have an inkling of how you feel about him no matter how well you think you've hidden, so maybe he likes you being jealous.)

If you were waiting for an opportune time... That was it.

Stand up for yourself and show him your feelings. it may be tragic or it may be wonderful but it will not be a mistake. the mistake is hiding your feelings.
