Today, on my 21st birthday, a relative asked me if I was still engaged to the love of my life. The man I spent several years with, gave my virginity to, moved across the country for, who promised to marry me before my 21st, and who swore he was over his ex for good. No, but thanks for asking. FML

Today, my ex, who I'm still love with, told me he's engaged. We weren't together for long because he didn't want a committed relationship. Guess it was just me. FML

Today, It was my fiancé's 21st birthday party. It ended with him too drunk to walk and wailing about how much he misses an ex girlfriend of his that he dumped 4 years ago. FML

Today, my ex showed up at my door with chocolates and flowers. I've liked him since I was 13, starting dating him when I was 15. He proposed when I was 22. I am now 24, and yesterday was our wedding day. He didn't show. FML

Today, my fiancé told me, that after 7 years together, he is no longer in love with me. Shocked and appalled, I ask him if he has anything else to add. "Happy Birthday". FML

Today, my boyfriend rekindled the romance with his ex, at my 21st birthday party. One of the few reasons I'd invited her was to show that I trusted him, and I no longer felt threatened by their continued friendship. FML

Today, I celebrated my 21st birthday. My boyfriend of almost 3 years gave me a big pink vibrator. Thinking it was a joke I said: "I won't need this as long as I have you!" His reply: "That's what I wanted to talk to you about." FML

Today, my long term boyfriend took me to my favorite restaurant. After the main course he knelt down and finally proposed to me. I was so happy I almost cried. Until an old woman came over and said I was way to old for him. I'm 3 years younger than my fiancé. FML

Today, I got engaged to my boyfriend of three years. I made the announcement on my status on facebook so people would congratulate me. The only response I got about my engagement was from a girl I knew saying; "Umm, he didn't tell you he was cheating on you for three years with me?" FML

Today, my ex fiancée, who left me six months ago, asked if I'd mind if she used the wedding dress I bought her for our wedding. She's just gotten engaged again. FML

I'm sure your relative regretted asking you this and wished they had just asked the real question they wanted to pose in the first place: "Would you please pass the potato salad?" Single at 21? BFD! You've got about 14 good years to find a good man. If you want kids, you should get a bit panicky at around age 35 and then settle for any douchebag that can produce viable sperm.

Girl, I totally feel u on the ex gf thing. my ex swore up and down that he was over his ex-fiancé and that he only spoke to her b/c they had a son together. Sure enough he ended up cheating on me with her. when I found out, I broke up with him. the next week he had moved in with her and they were engaged again. I was broken. but a month later I was introduced to the most amazing guy, who is now my bf of 7 months, and the best bf ever. He treats me with respect and kindness that my ex never attempted to show me. This is part of life's experiences. U will fall in love again, and it will seem like you've never been happier. Don't rush, your still young. Find what makes u happy. "When your happy in all other areas of your life, love has a way of finding you." You'll find a guy that's worthy of u one day. Until then, keep your options open and have some fun. 21 will be a fun year, just don't make the mistake of going out to bars, getting hammered, an going home with some guy u barely know. Sex is special, u should keep it that way. it'll all work out in time... and happy birthday girl!! keep ur head up!

How about you stop living in a fantasy land. 21 is early for marraige, and complaining about it as an fml makes you look even more desperate. Grow up and enjoy life

You fell in love for the first time. Being inexperienced with life, you let the emotions overwhelm and take over all reasonable thinking. Go out an learn from life. Get more loves and experiences. You find someone much better for you and will be so glad you didn't marry this guy. Also, don't put so much faith into marriage and believe it's the grand destination for any relationship. Just relax. There is plenty of time for marriage when you are much older.
