Today, my girlfriend from high school contacted me, telling me we should hang out some time; I casually agreed. Two hours later she's on my doorstep in tears, wanting me to take her back. She's married with kids. I live four states away and haven't a clue how she found out where I live. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, a girl I knew in high school who now lives out of state came to town to visit and stay over. We've been talking albeit romantically for the past few months. Not thirty minutes after we arrived at my place from the airport, her ex-boyfriend came by and she hopped in his car. I haven't heard from her since. FML
Today, I was visited by a high school friend who lives in another state. She was furious because I got married a few months ago, and she kinda had feelings for me. I had to ask her to leave. Here's the funny thing: she's been married for 4 years and they have a son, and she didn't even invite me to her wedding back then. FML
Today, I found out that my wife had been debating leaving me for an old boyfriend from high school. They rekindled their relationship on Facebook, and talking on the cell phone. Both things I insisted she have. FML
Today, after two months of being apart from my wife of five years, who'd returned to Panama to deal with a family issue, she innocently slips into conversation that she’s been hanging out with her high school boyfriend. When challenged, she responded, “You get to see me all the time!” FML
Today, I met up with my 'on again, off again' girlfriend of 4 years that I'm still madly in love with. We've been broken up for a few months and she's been dating someone else. We talked about possibly trying things again. When I got home, I found out she's engaged. FML
Today, I received a message on a dating app. It was the girl I'd always wanted to marry, but who disappeared from my life when we were younger. She went on and on about how much she missed me... and how much she wanted me to meet her husband and 3 kids. FML
Today, I got a call from a girl I fell madly in love with 8 years ago. She disappeared from my life with no trace. Turns out she just finalized her divorce, has 2 wild kids, packed on 75 lbs, has $25,000 in debt and is taking meds to keep from going crazy. Now she wants me back. FML
Today, some girl from Colorado called me. She knew my name. My Facebook. I had no idea how she got my number. She then asked me out. I say, "Sure…" sarcastically. She then called my girlfriend, who also lives in Colorado. Our relationship is now over. FML
Today, the girl who I had a desperate crush on in high school 25 years ago, and who would never go out with me, told me that she was actually head over heels in love with me, but was so cripplingly shy that she couldn't say yes. She's divorced now. I'm married. FML
Today, my girlfriend was crying. I asked her what was wrong, and she said her husband was going to divorce her for seeing me. FML

I wonder if you're referring to "The Seven-Year Itch." Are you?

Still a better love story than twilight

Im still confused how she got four states away in only two hours. Why has no one discussed this?

#83 She could've already been on the way when she called. And even if she wasn't, some states (like the northeast) are small & don't take long to travel across.

93- I live in upstate New York and even the smallest of states around here, definitely would never take just two hours to travel across FOUR of them. Either way it seems a little far-fetched to assume she got two hours away and THEN contacted him. But that's just my opinion.

Maybe she was already on her way to his state when she contacted him. She could have been traveling to her home state possibly (maybe they're from the same place) with family she intended on staying with... And instead made a stop at his place once she got the okay that he would hang out with her. Who knows but that's the only thing I can think of that could justify the 2 hours and 4 states away scenario.

She was on her way before they talked. Or she sent it before that and he responded 2 hours before she showed up. She's crazy enough to drive 4 states and beg. I bet she would start driving before he answered a message.

I'm pretty sure i can drive from RI, through MA, and cut through a corner of NH into ME in about two hours.

He should just close the door and sit back on his couch and pretend it never happened.

I don't even know what to tell him, that's creepy as hell!

Dude, if she can go four states in two hours, you'd better run hella fast

OP can run, but he can't hide.

Sounds like she has too much baggage OP, might be good not to get involved.

You mean a husband and kids? Nah don't be silly lol

Go hide
Imhere4fml 24
She's obviously going to find him, so hiding won't do him any good.

Have a talk, ask what makes her "want you' if it's the case of an unloving/abuse husband or wife, send them in the right direction for help and be a friend.

First sensitive comment, good job :)

I'm sure you must have been very surprised to see the state she was in.

It was a sad state of affair.

*EX-girlfriend

That would actually be redundant here. Saying "girlfriend from high school" implies it was in the past.
carmel1110 12
I would take that as a compliment.

You must not get very many compliments.

Funny thing is, I do :D

This is the age of shared info, a simple Google search can actually reveal where you live. :) Call the authorities and have them sort your "girlfriend" out. Now. Before it's too late...
