Today, my ex said "I love you!" for the first time at a party in front of my boyfriend. Smugly satisfied, I said "Well, you're too late for that." My ex looked at me with irritation and said "I'm talking to him!" and gestured to my boyfriend. They'd been "best friends" since middle school. FML

Today, I went to my long-distance boyfriend's party. His best friend was talking to me and trying to make conversation, he asked, "So, are you two official?" I responded with a definite yes, but was cut off mid-word by my boyfriend, who quickly said, "No, not really." Sorry, I wasn't aware, darling. FML
Today, I sent a text message to my boyfriend, saying, "Come over in an hour, I love you." An hour later, the doorbell rang. It was my ex, looking happy and still as smitten with me as before, with a bunch of roses. I'd got the wrong number. My ex and my boyfriend have the same name. FML
Today, I got so drunk I called my ex-boyfriend and confessed my love to him. All in front of my current boyfriend. FML
Today, my boyfriend wanted to tell me how much he loves me. He said a lot of wonderful things, such as not being able to live without me and hoping that I would want to live with him and marry him someday. He ended his loving speech with his ex-girlfriend's name instead of mine. FML
Today, I went to a party and saw my current boyfriend making out with my ex-boyfriend. FML
Today, after 10+ years of being best friends, I finally told my best friend "I love you" while we were on the phone. To which she said, "That's OK, but…" and continued the conversation. Maybe I shouldn't have drank so much, or waited so long. We're both in happy marriages, with kids with other people now though. FML
Today, I confessed to my boyfriend that I was in love with his best friend. He confessed that he was too. FML
Today, I was at a party and spent the whole night bragging to my friends about how I thought this girl was totally into me. As we were leaving, we saw the same girl making out with my ex. FML
Today, I went to the surprise birthday party of an ex I still love, though I'm the one who ended things. I walked in in time to see her screaming "Yes" to her kneeling boyfriend, her parents crying and applauding, and her brothers patting him on the back. FML
Today, my boyfriend came over. My mom told him the story about the time she caught me having sex with my ex-boyfriend. My ex is his best friend. FML

Everyone has to love you? I bet you still like him and wanted him to regret dumping your ass. You also don't seem to know much about your boyfriend's social life? You seem like the kind of person to stalk your ex boyfriend. Didn't check his facebook? I am surprised. I mean you would have seen your boyfriend on his life of mutual friends you might share. I think you are a stupid little girl who needs to grow up.

Haha. You got to be the "lucky" cover for a guy who turned out to be a closet gay. I bet that deflated your over-blown ego. Way to go, egghead.

Why is there a new "My ex boyfriend and my current one are gay!" fml every week? I found it hard to believe the first time I read one, now I just laugh at how fake they all sound.

...Nowhere did she claim that either of them are gay. This may be breaking news for you, but perfectly heterosexual males can actually be friends to the point where they have feelings of love for each other. If a man says "I love you" to his brother, is he gay and incestuous? No. If a man says "i love you" to his best friend is he automatically gay? NO.

Sounds like when your ex was done with you, he passed you on to his best friend.

I feel sorry for you FML people. You should have a positive outlook on things. I'm sure you, your boyfriend, and your ex will make a very pleasant trio of friends.

It wouldn't be the first time that happened - my ex and my boyfriend are best friends. After we broke up, my ex told my boyfriend he should ask me out! We're all very close friends still.

Why does everyone think that OP thinks the two are gay together? I didn't gather that at all from this FML, I just thought she was embarrassed because of her response to her ex. You know, when you try to do something really cool and it's an epic fail? And some people are okay with their friends dating their exes. I've actually told my boyfriend that if we broke up I would date one of his really good friends (we have a very healthy relationship and I don't see us breaking up anytime soon, we were just trying to decide if either of us had friends we would date) and he was completely okay with it. And if he and I broke up, I would be fine with it if one of my friends dated him (as long as I had time to get over him). The ex and current boyfriend had probably discussed it, seeing as they were best friends. It is strange that OP didn't know they were best friends, because besides the fact that she should have figured it out while getting to know her current boyfriend, you'd think she would have met the current boyfriend while dating her ex...

Obviously the best friend isn't too worried about 'man code', as he was dating the chick. && I know lots of people who say "I love you" to their friends when they're drunk, I do it too. This doesn't necessarily mean her ex or current boyfriend is taking it in the butt from the other. Aaaaaaannndd finally, this is like the 8,000th story on this site about some girl finding out her current and ex are supposedly together.
