Today, I received yet more mail for my ex-fiancé. We've been broken up for nearly a year and I've told him multiple times to change his address. Getting his mail is a constant reminder that I haven't dated since. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I received a note from my creepy ex, whom I broke up with two years ago, saying how much he still misses me. I live over 100 miles away from him now. The note was hand-delivered to my new address. FML
Today, I realized that I get more mail addressed to the old tenant of my apartment than to me. He hasn't lived here in years. FML
Today, I received an invitation to my ex’s wedding. We were dating for three years and just broke up four months ago. FML
Today, I got a message from my ex saying how sorry he was for everything he did. He also said that if he wasn't getting married and having a kid we could still be together. We broke up a year ago. FML
Today, I discovered my ex has been signing my email up for various newsletters. I knew I was getting a lot of spam, but didn't know why. It became apparent when one of these emails had his name in it. FML
Today, I found out that my controlling, verbally abusive ex-boyfriend from nearly four years ago is still obsessed with me. Apparently, he's told everyone back home that he and I are getting married as soon as I finish college. We haven't spoken in over two years. FML
Today, my ex-boyfriend announced he was engaged. We broke up last night. FML
Today, I finally found out who has been sending me hate letters, it's my husband's ex-wife. They've been divorced for 7 years. FML
Today, I learned that I'm in that special kind of relationship where my ex thinks we're still married, no matter how many times I tell him that we were divorced over a year ago. FML
Today, I felt like letting my ex know just how I felt about all the bullshit he put me through. I dug up his number, typed a long paragraph with lots of pain and emotion, and sent it. The reply was, "No wonder he broke up with you." Thanks, whoever has that number now. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Stop forwarding it to him, he'll probably change it then.

Two things: 1. Write "return to sender, addressee unknown" on all his mail and send it back. 2. Go to the Post Office and let them know what's going on. They can put a hold on his mail so that it doesn't come to you anymore. I had to do this for the people my husband and I bought our house from because they never did a change of address after the sale. Also, you don't need to date to go out. Call up a friend and say, "let's hang out" and then follow through. Don't cancel no matter how you feel. Unless, of course, you're enjoying the misery and pity, then you're on your own.

I'm sure OP will find anything to call a "constant reminder". Go out and do something about it instead of feeling sorry for yourself!

I'm with 7, 11, and 14. YDI for at least one, if not all three of their reasons.

Just start putting "return to sender addressee unknown". Eventually they will stop coming.

You can also mark it "Refused", as long as you didn't open it.

hm.. awkward. I have a 3 step plan that you should follow. 1.) tell him to change where his mail goes or you'll burn it. 2.) go to a bar/club and meet some people, dammit! 3.) stop being so pitiful. *discard number 3. use step 4 instead. 4.) make macaroni.

Only if it's not generic Macedonia

Who eats generic Macedonia? that's just disgusting. I prefer name brand Macedonia or Libya (less carbs).

I don't think you can burn emails. Unless of course you plan to burn the whole computer?

Yeah, I agree with Doortje, don't forward his mail he'll change it eventually. I was in a similar situation a while ago but my ex had gone to a different state and I never sent him his mail so he had no choice but to change it :)

You're the one having a problem with receiving emails from him so why don't YOU change your email?? Oh, there's a brilliant idea!

Whoops. I read it wrong. What I mean is you freaking write on the envelopes, "DOES NOT LIVE HERE" and put it in the mailbox. It worked for my family.
