Today, I had to explain to my girlfriend that you can't see a guy you've hooked up with "like a brother." It's not even the first girlfriend I've had to explain this to. Block him or I block you and leave. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I had to explain to my brother why he can't go on dates with my new boyfriend and me. FML
Today, the guy I've been talking to for two months told me he hooked up with a girl last night, before blocking me on everything. I also was with him last night. FML
Today, I had to explain to my girlfriend why being with a girl while being with me is cheating. FML
Today, I tried to tell a girl that I had watched her Purdue boyfriend flirt around at every frat party. She thinks I'm lying and blocked me. Now all my friends are angry at me because he was a "nice guy" and she "didn't need to know." FML
Today, my ex of 5 years began dating the girl he told me was, “One of the guys”, “Don’t worry, she’s like a sister to me” and, “I would never see her that way.” We broke up a couple of days ago because my “paranoia” and “assumptions” about her were putting a “strain” on our relationship. FML
Today, I found out why my boyfriend won't come over anymore. He and my brother apparently had a "thing" before we started dating. FML
Today, I went over to the house of a guy I have hooked up with a few times. After we got done, I asked him why we were not in the room across the hall. He said that was his twin brother's room. FML
Today, I had to break up with my girlfriend twice. Apparently, the first time she thought I was kidding. FML
Today, my girlfriend dumped me because she apparently saw me making out with her sister. She doesn't even have a sister. FML
Today, my coworker and I have been sharing the same girlfriend for over a year. She doesn’t know that we each know about the other, but now it’s all over. She blocked both of us. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Leave her. You shouldn't be dating anyone. Everyone else: If your SO insists that you not see your friends, that person is an abuser who is in the process of isolating you from all other sources of emotional support, and from anyone who might empower you to leave when things get really bad. It's a huge red flag. Get out now, while you can.

People can, in fact, maintain friendships with people that they were once attracted to. Hooking up in the past doesn't mean it'll happen again- it could be that they both agree they're incompatible in the bedroom/as a couple or they may have concluded that they just don't feel that way about each other anymore. You need to grow up and stop trying to control your girlfriend, or else you'll never have one for long.

You need to get as far as you can from this one! Can you imagine going to a family reunion with this one?

I'm friends with all my exes. And no man will ever tell me I can't be friends with them!

You can absolutely have a purely platonic friendship with expartners. You can also tell your partner what they're allowed to do and what not. But you shouldn't because then you're an insecure brat that projects their fears onto others^^

I see where you’re coming from. There’s a difference between having friends and maintaining a friendship with someone you have had a sexual or intimate relationship with. If it’s not something you’re comfortable with and she won’t end it, then leave. Just please do so like an adult.

If it was a recent relationship that had been long standing, I could understand but if it was a one time hook up 6 to 8 months ago I would not be concerned. If it wasn't even really a long-term relationship and wasn't something they were doing continuously. I think your reaction is overboard. I think your reaction is overboard.

If you trust her so little then it's probably already over.
