Rubbing it in

Today, when I logged onto Facebook, I discovered a friend request from my ex who broke up with me and deleted me months ago. Upon adding her, I was taken to her profile where I saw dozens of status updates talking about how much she loves her new boyfriend, who she dumped me for. FML

Dumbass move

Today, I stupidly liked a post on my ex's social media account from three years ago. They then texted me immediately to ask why I was stalking them. FML

Love in the time of Facebook

By StillAlone - 23/10/2022 06:00

Today, I noticed my ex had unblocked me on Facebook. Since I still miss her and haven't been able to find love since our breakup, I sent her a friend request, thinking maybe she was leaving the door open for me, and we could reconcile. Apparently I was wrong because she promptly blocked me again. FML

Today, I sent a Facebook friend request to the guy who had the party I was at last night. I immediately realized, however, that my new profile picture is of me, smiling and holding the trophy I stole from his house. FML

Today, I received a friend request on Facebook. I didn't know her, but she was cute, so I accepted the request. After looking at her pictures, I sent her a message saying "What's up cutie, do I know you?". She responded "Yes, I'm your cousin". FML

Today, I received a friend request on Facebook from a girl I've had a crush on for a while. As I was about to accept it, it vanished. She explained later that she clicked on my name by accident, and didn't actually want to be friends at all. FML

why in the world are you befriending an ex anyway?

yeah I was thinking the 'they' was to hide the ex being a guy. What does it matter though? this site is anonymous enough.

btw, this does sound fake. feel free to ignore me if u want, but i think its odd the way you used the word "they." (which, by the way, isnt correct, since im assuming your ex is one person) but cant you just use he/she?

One can use "they" to refer to one person as well as multiple people.

Or maybe "they" is not classified as He or she and prefers the pronoun they

If your ex is a guy, don't worry about homophobes. This site is very tolerant of everyone... It lacks an underlying tone of hate. Either way, the person either genuinely doesn't remember you, or he / she is just an ass, and it's a good thing that he / she is your ex. :)
