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.

Burn his mail. Then he'll change his address.

Just go to the post office and give them a forwarding address so it never has to reach your house.

Don't think of it as a bad thing that you have been single for a year, it's not that long and it's good to focus on yourself and not jump right into another relationship.

Stop passing it on to him. when he doesn't get some important stuff he will be motivated to change it.

rather than forwarding or saying to stop, tell them he died and that they are causing grief. You can do this by writing "return to sender - deceased" Legally they don't want that on their hands. In real death cases you can sue for emotional harassment if they don't stop. Plus not only will it stop the mail, but you can pretend all sorts of horrible things happened to him. (I probably need therapy)

Yet another reason not to move in with someone you aren't married to: you wouldn't be having this problem now. Quit passing it to him, and just throw it in the trash. If he can't be bothered to update his address, then his mail must not be that important to him.
