Today, I ran into my ex-boyfriend and his new girlfriend at a grocery store. We haven't seen each other since we broke up a few months ago, and when he introduced me, he called me by the wrong name. We dated for three years. FML

Today, I ran into an old friend of mine at the store. All was going fine, until she showed me her new fiancé. My now ex-boyfriend. FML
Today, I ran into my ex-boyfriend at the store, holding hands with his very pregnant girlfriend. They were buying baby supplies. We had a very nasty and painful breakup not even three months ago. FML
Today, I ran into my ex-boyfriend in town. We broke up a year ago because he "moved" to Florida. FML
Today, I was hanging out with my ex's new girlfriend. I found out he was dating us both at the same time and was comparing between us. That is why he broke up with me two years ago and is still with her ever since. FML
Today, I met my ex's new boyfriend. I was at work, cashiering at the movie theater that they were apparently having their first date at. We broke up less than 24 hours ago. FML
Today, my ex, for whom I still have feelings, introduced me to his new girlfriend. To make things "less awkward," he invited a mutual friend of ours. However, the last time I'd seen this friend, it was a week after my ex and I had broke up, and we hooked up. Awkward doesn't cover it. FML
Today, at my anniversary party, and in front of all our friends, I accidentally called my husband-to-be by my ex-boyfriend's name. FML
Today, my boyfriend of a couple of weeks mixed up my name with his ex-wife's name. After he said it, he looked at me and said, "You knew it was going to happen." FML
Today, I ran into my crush of three years ago. We used to always walk our dogs together. He still remembered my dog's name. He didn't remember mine. FML
Today, I ran into my ex-boyfriend on campus. Upset, I decided to go to McDonald's to eat my painful memories away. While in the drive-thru line, I realized my ex was right in front of me. It looked like I'd followed him all the way from campus. He thinks I'm a stalker now. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

You don't think.

I agree with the strange boners guy, who cares, why does it even matter? You'll have many more boyfriends and non of them will matter when you get older and your married someday.

Where does one buy marrieds? I think when I am older I would like to get a married of my very own too. And also, on a side note, this ex may very well be the last boyfriend op will ever have- maybe op will decide she is gay and only have girlfriends from here on out. Good luck on her get one of those marrieds then, huh?

Oh no! I used the wrong "your"..FML, you sure talk a lot of shit. Why don't you go outside and play hide and go **** yourself.

You know by replying to his correction in a totally over-reactive way you just let him win right? Next time ignore grammar nazis. They just do it to get a rise out of you (which he totally did.)

He's an ex for a reason

You should be happy you guys broke up and one day it'll be his new gf being called your name when introduced to a new girl

You should have called him a different name in return, then tell the new girlfriend all the embarrassing stuff you caught him doing, OP. FYL, though.

Looks like he got the best of you, agree with everyone else, he is an ex for a reason. Brush it off and move on :)

I'm sure he was just nervous. He didn't expect to see you. Laugh it off and move on. Good luck!

He probably only confessed to ******* you once in a drunken haze. She'd dump him on the spot if she knew he dated a loser like you for years.

I'm getting thumbs down for applying Occam's Razor to this story. The simplest solution is always the best. It may not be kind, but it's probably the most likely explanation of how this could happen.

Oh perdix, you usually are much funnier than that.

You're being thumbed down for not being politically correct. By this I of course mean you aren't supporting the female in the broken relationship...
AmbrosiaWriter 17
Or, you know, just being really cruel to the OP. It could be that as well, often unnecessarily cruel comments get thumbed down, no matter if the OP is male, female, or gender unknown. Pull up your big boy pants now, there you go.

Except if there was a guy in this situation and someone said the girl was a **** there wouldn't be as many positive votes on that comment, and there would be more complaints from others.
