Today, I went back to my high school for an event with some of my friends, both of which are in relationships. Whilst there we saw our favorite teacher, who hugged us and said, "I heard you have a boyfriend! And so do you!" And then she turned to me and said, "And... And you're doing great things!" FML

Today, I went out to lunch with two old friends from high school. While at the restaurant, we saw a girl who we graduated with. The girl gave both of them hugs, then introduced herself to me. FML

Today, at a supermarket, I ran into a girl I knew in high school. She had two kids with her and they were buying school supplies. My cart was full of beer and snacks. After a chat, she left, not before saying, "I hope things get better for you." I have a job and a girlfriend. FML

Today, my friend thought it would be funny to announce to the class that I finally got a girlfriend. I received a standing ovation. FML

Today, while walking through the halls of my high school, my boyfriend and I shared a quick kiss. A young teacher walked by and told us to stop due to Personal Display of Affection rules at our school. She then looked at my boyfriend and told him he could do so much better. FML

Today, I went to my former high school's homecoming game. A classmate who I always had a crush on looks up and goes "Brian!", holding her arms out for a hug. I hug her and she seems a bit suprised but hugs back anyway. I get up and see another Brian from our class behind me. Shame. FML

Today, I went to my little cousin's school to pick her up and it happened to be my old elementary school. I saw my old teacher and went up to say hi, and after a few minutes she goes "Aren't you the girl who's dad always came in drunk on parent's day?" Nice to know that's how I'm remembered. FML

Today, I went to a high school reunion. An old friend I hadn't seen in a while suddenly came up to me and gasped, "Oh, thank God!" I was about to greet her and catch up when she added, "I'm not the only one who gained weight!" FML

Today, I went to my high school reunion. I was super excited to see what everyone had done in their lives. The nerdy guy I bullied is now a U.S. Marine and already has two deployments in Afghanistan under his belt. He looked at me in his dress blues and said, "I remember you." FML

I hate how so many people seem to think that having a relationship is the most important thing. Yes, it is nice to have a romantic partner. But just because someone doesn't have one doesn't make them some kind of loser!

Don't take it to heart! So many people are single! Nothing wrong with it, I'm sure your old teacher felt super awkward after she realized she had nothing to say right off the bat about you

Your relationship status shouldn't define you. Be who you are not who people want you to be.

Nothing wrong with being single. It gives you a chance to get yourself in order before upsetting the balance and adding someone to your life. Wether you're in a relationship doesn't define you. Just keep doing you OP

Frankly, I'd be more insulted if the only positive thing a person could say about me is: "you finally snagged yourself a man!" I think that teacher should get back in her time machine and go on back to the '50s.

Why is she so excited about that? I don't get why she would bring that up unless they were engaged or something. You'd think she'd care more about their other accomplishments.

well that's just silly. a teacher congratulating (judging) you based on wether or not you have a relationship

Honestly the teacher probably doesn't care who does or doesn't have a boyfriend and was just making polite conversation.

You just go on and do great things with or without a romantic partner. A relationship does not define you.

I find it odd that a former teacher was so informed on the personal lives of his former students to know their relationship status. However, a relationship shouldn't define a person's success or happiness in life, defining yourself by one person has a chance of ending badly. If the most interesting thing about a person is "I heard you had a boyfriend/girlfriend" that's pretty boring. A relationship should be an addition to your life, not the entirety of it, and even then, a relationship is never a requirement in life anyway.

I, and a lot of teachers I know, are Facebook friends with a lot of former students. Also, because I have so many former students on my Facebook feed, I do get them a little confused sometimes. If some of them came up to me in real life, I'd probably have a hard time remembering specifics about their current life and probably end up saying something generic like this, though I'd hope I'd mention something more substantial than them having a boyfriend.
