Today, my psychotic, very jealous ex-boyfriend appeared out of nowhere and punched a male store clerk who was helping me look for azaleas in a garden center. FML

70% off something you didn't need, a stampede and a cart that crashes at checkout. Thanks, Black Friday.
Today, my psycho ex boyfriend, who I broke up with over a month ago showed up at my work yelling and crying because I didn't get him anything for his birthday. My boss now thinks I'm an asshole. FML
Today, my psycho ex got into my wedding ceremony and attacked my wife. FML
Today, a man came up to me and punched me in the face. He turned out to be the guy my ex-girlfriend cheated on me with. Apparently, she told him we broke up because I used to beat her. FML
Today, I went to the grocery store and saw my ex with her new partner. I tried to hide from them, but ended up getting locked in the store after closing time. I had to call security to let me out. FML
Today, I woke up to the sound of my psycho ex trying to break down my apartment door. FML
Today, I found out someone, most likely my psycho ex, has been posing as me on local interest websites, trolling a load of people, and giving them my address so they can come fight me. I found this out when a gentleman showed up at my house wanting to beat me shitless. FML
Today, my boyfriend came to visit me. He told me he was cheating on me, and that he wanted to break up. I was so angry that as he left, I started screaming at him out of my second story apartment window. I picked up a huge potted plant and shoved it through the window at him. It missed my ex and hit my car. FML
Today, I went into the store where my boyfriend works. I saw him talking to a customer, his back was facing me, so I went up and smacked his butt. Turns out it wasn't him. FML
Today, my obsessive ex, who recently cut my phone line to stop me from talking to my boyfriend of three years, got a job at the same restaurant where both my boyfriend and I work. FML
Today, I was at the mall with my friend when I saw my boyfriend in Victoria's Secret - with another girl. They were joking and laughing, and I was really pissed off. So I stormed into the store and slapped him. He looked up at me with an angry and confused expression. It wasn't my boyfriend. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

OP....what seriously made you attracted to him in the first place?! There had to be warning signs early on with controlling or future abusive behavior. There are always signs. You have to analyze them from your relationship with him, and take note when they happened, and read about how to notice them better so you can avoid that type next time you start dating.

Duh, that's why that man is her ex-boyfriend

You're getting a little close to victim blaming here. Lots of abusive types know not to be crazy at first because if someone abuses you on the first date, they aren't getting a second. Then they slowly get worse and worse as you get more and more attached, betting that you'll like them enough to stay.

Overbearing, controlling behavior like yelling at a stranger on the internet and trying to force them to take responsibility for someone else's inexcusable behavior? You don't know about their dating past. All you have are a few details about one particular incident, so how about we tone down the judgmental tone?

There probably WERE signs, which is why this guy is now her EX. And I hope the clerk in question presses charges against the abusive ex-boyfriend.

Hey #30, not cool. I was with a controlling abusive partner and there were NO signs for 8 months, then when weird little signs did happen I thought it odd but didn't leave immediately. Don't victim blame, these abusive types can be tricky and clever. She obviously did see the issues as they've broken up but don't imply she is blind to the signs for future relationships.

No wonder he's your ex! Restraining order time! *starts singing the words 'Restraining Order' like in that one episode of Castle*

I don't know where the YDI's are coming from. Obviously, OP was smart enough to dump him. Problem is, no, not everyone sees red flags. I grew up in a very stable, loving, cooperative home and NEVER heard my parents disagree. If they did, one of them would immediately back down (whoever was being the less strict, mostly). I never got into arguments with friends because you just didn't do that. I did not learn how to handle conflict. I truely didn't know what to do if I was told I was wrong and I second-guessed myself. The abuser always starts off nice and attentive. It begins slowly, you justify isolating or controlling behavior and manipulative people are VERY good at making the abused person think it's their fault. I can see how it can escalate. Oh, and abusers? They won't be dumped. I had an ex like that: I dumped him, he didn't agree, and decided that I was the one cheating because it wasn't over until he decided it was over. TLDR

Restraining order? No.... I'm thinking CWP & a handgun.

Does no one care for the store clerk? Maybe this is the part where you and the clerk fall in love because of your psycho ex :)
