Today, I got dumped for the second time by the guy that I'd been seeing. He actually forgot that he'd already dumped me once this week and did it again. FML

That went well
Today, my now ex-fiancé walked out on me on our wedding day. He decided his best female friend, whom he constantly told me not to worry about while we were together, is his "soulmate." Both of them ran away together to god knows where, while I stood there humiliated in front of our family and friends. FML

Not good enough
Today, my ex-fiancé got married. He left me at the altar last year because the thought of marriage and “taking such a big step” scared him. He’s only been with his new girlfriend for 6 months. Apparently I’m not good enough to marry. FML

Today, for the second time, I met the man I'm having an arranged marriage with in 3 months. I'd previously met him last night, while he was mugging me. FML

Karma?
Today, my ass of a husband to be stood me up at the altar. He embarrassed me in front of everyone. It was humiliating. All because apparently he’s now not OK with the mistake I made. Yes, I slept with your father, but don’t say you forgive me then leave me crying in front of everyone. FML

But… why?
Today, my relationship of over a decade ended very badly and suddenly. He asked for one last favor and I agreed… before realizing it meant I had to go to the church where we'd always planned to marry. Thanks for the final stake to the heart. FML

Today, at our wedding, instead of saying "I do", my fiancé paused before saying, "I can't do this", stepped down from the altar and proposed to my maid of honor. When she obviously refused, he ran from the venue bawling. He's not returning my calls. FML

Today, I congratulated a bride standing in front of a church in a white dress. Turns out she'd been stood up at the altar. She thrashed me with her bouquet. FML

YDI for trusting him a second time TBH. If he ran once, get rid of him for good.

Wouldn't you have learned the first time? Make sure theres no third time for him! I say fyl for being left at the alter and ydi for giving him another chance.

Third times a charm?
indielove 13
"Fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice shame on me." Don't take him back a third time.
ebonyrose2828 16
arww I feel so bad for you, but he must have his reasons. good or bad. still a second time? harsh.
linstar 13
A real man would have the balls to end things before you guys got to the alter. Good to see you are giving up on him, but hopefully not on love - I hope you move on and find a more deserving man.

I wouldn't go for the third time. What jerk does that? Seriously!

- 31, I think the prick who left her there is the fool.

I don't think you should go for a third time. You made the same mistake twice, hopefully you learned a lesson out of it.

whoops, i just realized 18 posted that comment first. sorry about that! but hey, it's a great quote for this FML.

To all you people saying OP's would be husband is a prick, you don't know his reasons. He could have commitment issues, be a straight up douche, or maybe be doesn't want to for another reason. Maybe OP is constantly acting like a forceful bitch and he doesn't like the idea of being tied down to her. You only have one side of the story.

Unless "altar" is code for a court house, there is plenty of time to call off a wedding. It doesn't matter what his reasons are.

Id go the third time And LEAVE HIM at the altar :)
renesmeebb 0
Ok you could be right. But if he's got commitment issues why would he propose in that first place?
enonymous 9
Was this at the Mayan sacrificial alter? If so you might be lucky. Gods don't like non virgins being sacrificed.
KeyboardWarrior 10
107 You don't know that he proposed. Nowadays women propose all the time. You may not agree with me but you can't deny it's a possibility.

HeartOnSleeves 8
KeyBoardWarrior, maybe he's using her for stuff, y'know? If he's gonna propose twice and leave twice.. I'm sure it's that reason. I bet he took the ring both times.

actually by adding variables like time and the possible adding of maturity its not crazy to assume different results. however the would be groom is a tool

not in this case.

@135 even if she did propose why would he accept if he has "commitment issues"??

She could've felt that he changed....

Cheaters never change. It's always said for a reason...
charlie2_fml 2
The FMLsaid nothing about him cheating on her...
ProhibitionRose 14
:/ it's so easy to want to trust someone if you love them. Sorry OP
emilyjgraham 34
op's fiance might have given his reasons before and promised he'd change. and if he got involved with the planning and seemed excited there wouldn't have been a reason for op to doubt his commitment. you have 300 characters, not an essay.
kjcookie10 9
Fool me once- Shame on you. Fool me twice- Shame on me.
crazyjemjem 6
No, but most reasons for another person to leave someone at an alter is they met someone or felt guilty about cheating. Hey, it could also be she is crazy.
iteenlovequotes 19
I am so sorry that you got left at the alter, but you somewhat deserve it because you have been left at the alter by the same man before. He obviously has commitment issues. I am somewhat torn because you deserve it in a way, but your life also sucks. I am a bit torn so I vote for both.

This just proves that some people just don't deserve a second chance.
BlanketHogger 0
Yea, what a jerk. I hope he has a good reason.
yankfan89 27
Good reason or no if he didn't want to get married he should have said something before the wedding or never proposed in the first place.
KeyboardWarrior 10
What if he did have a good reason 27? Then you'd feel like the jerk wouldn't you?

That is horribly harsh. Hey maybe it will be third time lucky?

Its third times the charm
ronski 41
Third time lucky & third times the charm are both correct, just depends on where you're from.

What now about lucky charms? There's three of them?

I hope the outcome on the third try altars from the first two

You would think you would have learned your lesson the first time. I guess you are a glutton for punishment. I'm sorry though.

She was in love and it makes us do crazy things, it can make the most rational of minds turn to mush, it makes everything complicated and can end in heartbreak, but love is worth the struggle.
TheDrifter 24
Chemical imbalance in op's brain. I wonder if she informed him of the second wedding or suffered a mental break and just started planning another wedding after he dittched her the first time?
Redoxx_fml 22
If she imagined the whole thing then she needs help
BlueEyed1019 12
FYL, because everyone deserves a second chance... He just blew it!

I agree with 8. I feel for you OP, that sucks. Can't even divorce him & take his money.. Just kidding. His loss, what a dick!

Are you going to try again? This man is now a cult hero, left the same woman at the alter twice.
