Love: Today, I've actually developed a crush on a guy I never intended...

Today, I've actually developed a crush on a guy I never intended to crush on, and also can't have. For one he's married and utterly devoted to his wife. And even if that weren't true, he's so far out of my league I need binoculars to see him. And to top it all of? He's fictional. FML

Today, I realized I have a crush on one of my co-workers. I’m married. I would never ever act on it but it’s really scaring me that I have these feelings and can’t make them go away. FML

Today, I'm in a long-term relationship with a woman I love to bits, but I have a crush on a coworker. I've tried to brush it off, but it's only getting stronger. The worst part? I think she likes me too. FML

Today, I found out the guy I had a huge crush on back in college, and still think of every day, actually did like me back. Except I’ve been married for nearly 8 years to someone else. FML

Today, I came to the unhappy realization that I’m living such a cliche. I’m completely in love with a totally unavailable man. He’s funny, smart, and drop dead gorgeous. There’s no way I could ever tell him how I truly feel. He’s gay and I’m a woman. We’ll never be more than friends. FML

Today, I've had a crush on a guy for a while - a friend of mine knows this. I finally decided to find out once and for all if there was any chance with him, so I drove to his house, armed with a home cooked meal and wine, only to find the very friend I confided in was at his house. It turns out they are now an item. FML

Today, I realized the extent of my crush on one of my employees. I found myself cropping our picture out of the staff photo to see what we would look like as a couple. FML

Today, after falling head over heels for a guy I've been crushing on for the past few months; I discovered that he's gay, dislikes children and I stand absolutely no chance. This isn't even the first time this has happened. I have the worst gaydar. FML

Today, the girl who I had a desperate crush on in high school 25 years ago, and who would never go out with me, told me that she was actually head over heels in love with me, but was so cripplingly shy that she couldn't say yes. She's divorced now. I'm married. FML

If he's fictional and you are fantasising about him then his wife won't mind.

I'm surprised that the fact he's fictional isn't your biggest problem here.

So you are in love with Richard Rahl from the Sword of Truth series. You won't be the last to do so.

I have a MAJOR crush on 2D from Gorillaz. And I don't think I will ever get over it. And I just don't care. :) As long as you don't quit 3D boys/girls (pun intended), it's ok. I myself have a bf despite liking 2D. Be happy!

Ummm so you're crushing on a fictional guy? Welcome to everyone's life at some point or another. Seriously, how is this an FML? Fantasize away!

You're missing the whole point of Fictional, OP. Lay in bed, and close your eyes. Drift off into a dream world much like this: He's just burst into your home, panting and sweaty. His hair is damp and his visage affixed with desperation. His eyes are filled with passion. He tells you that he and his wife have split up and that it truthfully has been a long time coming. He takes you in to his arms, gently presses his lips to yours...and, well... you make up the rest. lol - Boom, you're the leading lady.
