Today, I got a call from a girl I fell madly in love with 8 years ago. She disappeared from my life with no trace. Turns out she just finalized her divorce, has 2 wild kids, packed on 75 lbs, has $25,000 in debt and is taking meds to keep from going crazy. Now she wants me back. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I received a message on a dating app. It was the girl I'd always wanted to marry, but who disappeared from my life when we were younger. She went on and on about how much she missed me... and how much she wanted me to meet her husband and 3 kids. FML
Today, my girlfriend from high school contacted me, telling me we should hang out some time; I casually agreed. Two hours later she's on my doorstep in tears, wanting me to take her back. She's married with kids. I live four states away and haven't a clue how she found out where I live. FML
Today, the girl who I had a desperate crush on in high school 25 years ago, and who would never go out with me, told me that she was actually head over heels in love with me, but was so cripplingly shy that she couldn't say yes. She's divorced now. I'm married. FML
Today, I got reached out to by an old flame who, in her words, “wants to fuck the life out of me again.” We’re both engaged to new people and have kids. The hardest part? She looks even better now than ever, and I’m a fat hairy slob. FML
Today, I met up with my 'on again, off again' girlfriend of 4 years that I'm still madly in love with. We've been broken up for a few months and she's been dating someone else. We talked about possibly trying things again. When I got home, I found out she's engaged. FML
Today, my ex, whom I haven't seen in two years, contacted me. She was great company back in the day, wild in bed, the most attractive person I've ever dated, and totally uninterested in a serious relationship. She wants me to fix her computer. FML
Today, after I got reacquainted with an old friend with whom it'd been 12 years since we last spoke, both divorced, with kids, we started talking, start feeling things for each other. We'd both agreed to take things slow. We spend an amazing weekend together, made plans to spend my birthday together, and then I was ghosted. FML
Today, it's been a year since the girl I'm madly in love with completely cut off all communication with me. She called me crying a year ago, saying she couldn't do the long-distance, unaware I was planning on moving closer to her. Not once has she reached out, and has a girlfriend now. I think about her every night. FML
Today, after seven months apart, I agreed to meet with my ex, wondering if he'd changed. He sure did. He lost a ton of weight and picked up several new hobbies. He also picked up a 23 year-old new girlfriend. She's slimmer and prettier than I'll ever be. I threw my drink in his face and left in tears. FML
Today, I fell in love with a girl who used to love me. She doesn't anymore. FML

This is neither your problem nor your FML. It's hers. Let her deal with it on her own. Duh.

This was actually my post. I wish I had had more than 300 characters to explain initially. I live at the same place, have the same job, and the same phone number as when I met her. She is calling 20 times a day. She is showing up at my home and work. She knows I am a nice guy and will do little things for her but I am not taking her back. For the record it was $25,000 in debt. The comma and period are way to close together when you are typing at midnight...

Restraining order time... I wouldn't even do little things, honestly...If you give a mouse a cookie...he'll ask for a glass of milk... I agree, taking this person back would result in you posting here about every five minutes.

That sounds soo uber close to my story, but its not the same. My sister fell in love with this guy four years ago and he already had a young boy with his last ex. Then him and my sister had two little girls, the most gorgeous little things you've ever seen, and she packed on about 80 lbs from the consecutive pregnancies. He found new work in Montana, so he dragged her all the way out there from Wisconsin and it tore her apart because her family is here and not out there. Last month he dumped her in the course of a few days which included him admitting he didn't love her and then driving her back to Wisconsin and dumping her and his kids here. We found out that he was cheating on her with his boss's daughter. We hate him with a passion and it's killing us that the kids are gunna grow up without a father. He left her with the kids, jobless, homeless, and with exactly $25,000 in debt. I'm glad she'd never take him back.

Don't be so sure that she will never take him back, people can make mistakes, try and help her to not, even if it genuinely seems like he has changed, he hasn't. As for the kids growing up without a father, having both parents is slightly overrated. Children grow up just fine without one parent, or sometimes even both parents, it is the life and the people who raise them, not the combination. So don't "die" over the fact that they will grow up without a father, especially since, if you do have this worry, it will give the scumbag an advantage if he ever does want to take her back. Remember people don't change therefore don't worry about the fatherlessness, just give the kids the best life that you can.

That's messed up. I realize that many children grow up without a parent and that single parents can do well with raising children, but I personally grew up without my father since age 10 after he died tanks to his drug use and alcohol, and I still wish I had a father growing up. There's a reason that parents are supposed to get married then have children. All children deserve to grow up with BOTH parents. I know she won't take him back because he's the one that dumped her onto the streets with a 2 and a half year old and a 4 month old. He hates him for that. What the heck would you feel if that happened to you? Clearly you lack in passion for people in pain and clearly don't understand the full situation.
