Today, I got an e-mail from a guy I'd had a one night stand with. He wanted to get together to talk about it. Turns out he's in rehab and he wanted to address the biggest mistakes he'd ever made in his life. I am a on a drug addict's list of regrets. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I, someone who has experienced only one romantic relationship in my 35 years (which ended 8 years ago), was hit on by a homeless drug felon client at work. FML
Today, I drunk texted a guy I like. We'd met at an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting. FML
Today, I went on a first date with a guy I really hit it off with. Then he admitted that he was a recovering heroin addict and had to cut our date short to go to the methadone clinic. When I got home, I realized that my wallet was missing $40. I think he lied about the "recovering" part. FML
Today, I found out the guy I've been pursuing for six months doesn't date people in recovery. That's literally how we met. FML
Today, I found out that the reason why the guy I took home from the bar seemed to understand everything about me instantly was because he was my ex's secret drug dealer. FML
Today, I found out that while I was attending AA meetings to help understand how to help my boyfriend of 7 years when he got back from rehab, that he was not in rehab at all. He was on vacation. With his wife. FML
Today, I received a text from the guy I'm into, thanking me for helping him drunkenly stumble back to his apartment last night. He ended it with, "How long did you stay?" Apparently, he doesn't remember confessing his secret love for me, or the fantastic kiss that followed. FML
Today, I called my boyfriend over and over again and he never answered. His mom just called me and asked how I was holding up. I asked her what she meant and she had to tell me he checked himself into rehab because he was addicted to heroin. FML
Today, while trying to have a serious conversation with my husband about his drug use over text, he came home. Drunk. FML
Today, my one-night stand decided he wanted to meet my parents. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

yeah...one night stands are something a lot of people regret. Maybe you shouldn't be so easy.

I don't know why you're so offended. In rehab, one of the steps is making an inventory of everything you did that was harmful to yourself, that you regretted. One Night Stands aren't usually anyone's high points.

Don't read so much into it, and neither pay attention to all these dumb comments. If he wants to meet is NOT because you personally are one of his biggest regrets. What he regrets is to had been doing drugs, and doing one-night stands instead of trying the hard way and get into a stable relationship. I guess you'll understand once you meet him, if u decide to go for it.

Don't take it so personally, it's not like you had invested anything more into him or that he's specifically targeting you. Obviously he just regrets having been a tramp instead of having meaningful relationships. It's actually kind of admirable for him to be standing up to his own self-destruction like that.

This is a twisted point of view. Like many people here, I think your one night stand (not YOU) was a regret because he'd have liked ideally to build a different relationship or bond with you. He likely regrets every second of his life that he had spent under the influence. Get over this insecurity and be a bit more appreciative of the gesture. He's making significant steps in the right direction by confronting his problem and trying to make amends with other people he may have hurt in the past. That's huge, and possibly more than you've done in the way of self-improvement. No, I know what you're thinking. But even you, as the rest of us, have a ways to go before reaching perfection. There is always a lot of room for improvement. I say this for myself also. That doesn't mean you have to rekindle things, but be kind. I sure hope you didn't make him feel miserable for his efforts. If you did....man up and fix it. It's the least you can do for someone who's standing on shaky feet, trying to begin his life again and fix what he's done also. All the best to you. All the best to him.

Ignore all these nasty people love. There's nothing wrong with a one night stand when you want to have a bit of fun. And if this guy does regret sleeping with you for whatever reason, I think it's pretty selfish of him to contact you and try to get you to meet up and talk it through. What about your feelings? Put yourself first. So what if he's in rehab, you're not responsible for that and it's up to him to get himself better, nobody else.
