Today, I got in an argument with an ex-girlfriend who kept tactlessly bragging to me about her new boyfriend. I told her to read what she'd sent me, then pretend her boyfriend was telling her that. Fifteen minutes later, her boyfriend calls me, yelling for making her feel sad. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my girlfriend of six months yelled at me for not comforting her while she was crying because her ex got a new girlfriend, and "it's just not fair." FML
Today, I was having an after work-out dinner with my ex-girlfriend and we were having a great time, catching up, eating good food, all the good things. Then when I got home, I realized I just talked to my ex-girlfriend for an hour and a half about how much better her new boyfriend is than me. FML
Today, I was talking to my best friend about how much of an asshole my ex-boyfriend is. After about 2 hours of non-stop bitching, it turns out she's actually dating him. FML
Today, the girl I thought I was dating got into a fight with me over the phone. She did this because she bet her boyfriend that she could make me cry on FaceTime. She won the bet. FML
Today, my friend was complaining about about her new boyfriend. Playing around, I told her that he sounded a lot like my ex. He is. FML
Today, my boyfriend got mad at me for telling his ex to stop taking financial advantage of him. She gets her hair and nails done, has three new pets in her house, and just bought the latest iPhone. But apparently, I'm the bad guy for suggesting that she's not really "struggling" as much as she claims to be. FML
Today, my ex called me up to suggest that we become friends, only so that she could introduce me to her new boyfriend. FML
Today, I went to my ex-girlfriend's house to bring her her stuff back. We broke up earlier this week after a two year relationship, and I'd hoped she would've realized her mistake and ask me to stay for a bit and talk. I rang the doorbell and her new boyfriend opened the door. FML
Today, I was invited out to a date by my ex-boyfriend. He seemed really excited to reconnect and kept holding my hand and complimenting how I looked. Out of nowhere a girl runs up to him screaming. It was his current girlfriend, he was using me to make her jealous. FML
Today, my friend and I were arguing over whose boyfriend was better. Just as I was about to convince her, my boyfriend rang. Trying to start the perfect conversation, I put him on speaker phone and answered, "Hey Tiger, I was just thinking about you!" He broke up with me on speaker. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

The iPhone has a really cool feature where you can block numbers

A little self reflection is good for the soul, and apparently long over due for her Good plan. It may make her a better person in the long run

Wow, and she feels sad?
funsizedliz 16
YDI for talking with your ex...
Weirdo_Babe 13
#15 she was the one who was texting him and kept bragging to him about her new bf, he obviously had no choise Wouldn't you be annoyed if your ex did the same thing?
funsizedliz 16
But he had a choice to ignore her. It's not that hard.
Weirdo_Babe 13
True but some people can't just ignore the fact that their exs keep on bragging about their new bfs/gfs because its really pathetic And I guess OP is one of those people
JazzHandsFML 28
i would retaliate against the little shit. "look at him and compare yourself I deserved better anyway"
Rainbow2Cloud 12
She shouldn't feel sad. She should realize how much of a bitch she is being for breaking OP's heart, after realizing how much it would hurt her if this new boyfriend said the same things as her.

Meh.

Why are people thumbing down #29? She's right, OP can choose not to respond if his ex is being bitchy and rude and telling him about things he doesn't need to know about. It also seems like the ex is not over OP to be constantly bragging about a new boyfriend to him, or maybe she's just petty and immature.
dragonrider1959 18
If he ignored her it would have continued. Besides, a lot of people talk to their exes
Blue_Black_fml 21
I'm not saying people shouldn't talk to their exes, but in OP's case, his ex is being disrespectful and trying to hurt his feeling.

blamed the perprator,not the victim regardless of gender......

SAspring 17
It also has a feature where it doesn't force you to respond to texts or answer phone calls. It's pretty fantastic!
xsydneyx123 28
Why do people assume that everyone has an IPhone? This person said absolutely nothing about having an iPhone.

My android phone has the same feature to block numbers. so this still stands.
Rainbow2Cloud 12
My windows phone can also block numbers.
xsydneyx123 28
Not completely sure why that posted twice when I only pressed the button once. Just down vote it. Anyways. I agree. OP should just block the number and then they wouldn't be having their current problem.

Android also doesn't force you to respond to texts or calls in any way Pretty much the only thing iPhones have over other phones (and only reason they're so much more expensive) is that they have a sleeker appearance and have the Apple brand name
angeluv_2014 22
@20 either way he didn't have to respond
WitEluded 13
In reply to #43, that and they are more durable, have better/more reliable software, last longer, and google steals less of your personal data when using them.
cameosurgeon 16
iphones are more durable? I seem to recall apple having problems with bending, shattering, and denting.

#48. I hope that was meant to be sarcasm.
lexielou07 18
#51: My brother has bent, shattered, and dented several Androids. So it's not just iPhones.
Kazze 31
48: Apple practically leaves the front door open for the NSA iPhones. Also, don't forget about bendgate, or purposeful software slowdown. Sound familiar? Like 52 said, I REALLY hope you were being sarcastic.
phoneaddict13 29
no #51, I think it may just be your brother
Kazze 31
I ran out of time to edit. *NSA on the iPhone
lexielou07 18
#59: I think you're talking to me, not 51. I'll admit the shattered screen was from a three or four foot drop. But it bent and dented merely from being in his pockets.

I have owned every iPhone ever made besides the 6. (Just too big) I have also had to use various android phones. I have even written apps for both. Android is trash. Sorry. To the guy talking about security, you are 17 and have no clue what you are talking about. Take it from someone who knows - Android is full of security issues. iOS is extremely secure. Did you know for years google would provide your name, phone number and personal address to the developer of every single app you downloaded? Or that Android flashlight apps can steal your entire phone book/contact list? Android is just a tool for google to do mass data collection. Use common sense. Google doesn't make any money when people buy android phones. So why would they do it?
Kazze 31
I know where my Google account info goes. I also know how to look at permissions to see what's shady. As long as you have common sense, you'll know not to download a flashlight app that has permissions other than hardware control, for the LED. And, for the record, my age has nothing to do with this. I never said Android was perfect. Hell, you're right about the security flaws, I'll give you that. I was just saying that the iPhone is far from perfect.
ekmjwp19951993 10
I agree i had multiple different phones before an iPhone and all the other were crap
MCFX2 10
iOS is not secure. it has been hacked time and time again. you have to update your os every other week because of it. Apple just does a better job covering up their mistakes unlike google which actually lets people learn from them.
FMLusername969 21
Haha! your a riot!

How did this turn into a phone debate...
mikuxxhatsune 32
Ok I will admit I am quite careless with my phones and I have cracked both my androids. However they still function fine. One fell about a meter directly onto a solid metal rod. The other landed at an angle onto concrete after being flung out of my bag. I would say they are pretty durable if you are a normal person and not a klutz like me. Iphones are known to crack easily, i don't even want to see how long I would last with an iphone.

JMichael 26
Really? She sounds like a whiny bitch.
xx000o 27
Tell him that she is his baggage now.
primadonna9396 16
Yeah my first thought is that OP made a very wise choice dumping her. I still voted YDI for even dignifying her bullshit with a response, though. He of all people should know better.
MrSassypants 34
Then you tell the boyfriend to pretend his girlfriend said that to him, and then you get stuck in an endless loop of making people sad and people yelling at you angrily.
Space_Teddy 29
Sorry to say, but ydi. She indeed made a mistake by boasting about her new boyfriend.. But youre her ex, not her boyfriend, so you should have said your ex, that way it probably would be different for her. On the other hand f your life indeed , cause she really took it the wrong way and her boyfriend shouldn't have mingled in
peacheso 31
Take OPs advice and read your comment again.
Space_Teddy 29
I officially withdraw my comment

I will never understand ex-couples bragging to each other about their new partner. It just seems shallow and pathetic.
burnthistown 20
Because it is.
yenze 18
Stop talking to her?
abbyade 21
Oh she didn't like that? Then I guess it is time for her to grow up. Move on OP, you deserve someone with more maturity.
Manic1 13
I can see why she is your ex. I would just stop talking to her altogether. If she contacts you again just ignore her.
