Today, the guy I've been dating for 3 years got engaged to a woman I can't stand. I work as a waiter at a catering company, they hired the company and requested me as a server for their engagement party. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I found out the guy I've been dating for 5 months is engaged to his girlfriend of 3 years. I found out as we were talking, waiting for him to come outside after work. FML
Today, I was invited to a party to celebrate my ex-fiancée's recent engagement. The party is at work, because my ex is also my boss. Her new fiancée is some guy she met while on a "business trip" that happened while we were still engaged. FML
Today, I found out that my ex-girlfriend got engaged to a coworker. I got her the job. FML
Today, I was invited to an engagement. My crush is getting engaged next month to a man she told me she hated. FML
Today, I was working my shift at the restaurant as a waiter when the girl I've been in love with for 4 years came in with her boyfriend. He asked me to hide the ring in their dessert. FML
Today, an ex-boyfriend of mine came to the jewelry store I work at to pick out an engagement ring for his girlfriend. The same guy who just a few months earlier ended our 8-year relationship because I wanted marriage and he didn't. 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 fiancé — a top chef — called me at work to make sure I would be home on time for the extra special dinner he'd prepared for me. The occasion, as I later discovered, was the end of our engagement. FML
Today, it was my engagement party. All was going fabulously, until my fiancé's dad decided to give us a toast, and completely forgot my name in front of all my family and friends. I've been with his son for 7 years. FML
Today, I called off my engagement, after finding out my fiancé is cheating on me. I recently started a new job, and in anticipation of getting married, I asked that my username include his surname. They can't be changed, so now I get to log in every day under that sorry bastard's surname. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I think you people have missed the point. The OP is WALTER, a guy, and has been dating the groom-to-be.

another sad gay story

FEL (everyone's lives) here. OP gets dumped, his ex feels pressured to go into self-denial and the ex's fiancée will eventually find out that she's marrying a closet case. I think the issue here is not so much the gender designation of "waiter" but the fact that everyone springs to assume that "waiter" can apply to women since they don't want to acknowledge the existence on FML of TEH GAY OMGZ. Heteronormativity FTL.

Well, I pointed out the gender thing, but I would have no problem whatsoever with OP being a guy and recognize it could be either way -- it's just that the gender of OP is ambiguous rather than definite.

Alan, who's a mod, responded to the gender discussion above, stating that "waiter" can indeed be ambiguous. I got a story published a few days ago; I couldn't specify my gender when submitting it through the app, but I used a term that made it clear which gender I am. When the story was published, that term was changed to something applicable to a male or female. It's just a guess, but maybe the mods keep unspecified sexes unknown to prevent hateful reactions/flame wars. Personally, I don't care one way or another which gender the OP is. Even if he's male, though, his bf may not be closeted, in denial, or dooming himself to being unfulfilled forever. Plenty of bisexuals marry. Sometimes they stay completely monogamous; sometimes they stay monogamous with their SO's gender while still dating the opposite, often with their SO's approval or participation. Maybe the OP is a male, but doesn't want to share his bf with a girl he hates. He could just be pissed at being relegated to the role of hired help, rather than the bf's equal partner. I realize I'm assuming a lot here, but no more than you are. It's not really fair to conclude that the bf is a self-loathing closet case and everyone arguing about the OP's sex is a homophobe -__-

I never realized what a vengeful society we live in.

If the OP is a guy, it's F the bride's life, because she's marrying a gay. Though, if her future husband is bisexual, her life rules.
