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

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.

or throw the douchebags mail in the trash if he can't change his address. it may seem harsh but you're not responsible for his mail getting to him at all.

So, let me get this straight: OP gets letters from her ex-fiancé, she tells him to change his address, and his mail is a reminder of her being single for the past year? I don't understand this FML.

She doesn't get mail FROM him, she gets mail FOR him.

well, if you broke up with him, then you shouldn't really be moping around and crying about it.. but, if he broke up with you, then I'm sorry and that sucks, but you should really go out and have fun and meet new people!

Okay, if you were engaged I'm going to assume you were probably together for several years and were quite serious. I also would guess that breaking off an engagement, unless you're really shallow and never actually cared about him anyway, was probably pretty difficult and painful. So why the heck are you complaining about still being single less than a year later? It's not that big of a deal.

three words. "return to sender". or better yet, two "wrong address" pop them in the mailbox with that on it, and they'll stop showing up. pretty black and white.

I had the same thing for about 3 years. One of the letters was a dentists bill and he ended up being charged $1700 up from $90 cos he was so uptight about the $75 change of address fee =P

Write "Return to Sender" on the mail and plop it back in the mail box (don't forget to put the little flag up!). If you still get his mail, throw it out (don't bother shredding it, let identity thieves have a field day). Go get a new hair cut, mani/pedi, etc. and go on a date!
