Today, my 26-year-old boyfriend came to my apartment to spend the night for the first time. He brought a "blankie" that he insisted was the only thing that could help him sleep. That "blankie" was his ex-girlfriend's silk nightgown. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my boyfriend invited me over for dinner for the first time. The place was full of his ex's stuff, books on the shelves, makeup in the bathroom, clothes in the closet and even shoes on the floor. Not to mention creepy plush toys staring at me. She left him 8 years ago. FML
Today, my girlfriend gave me her ex-boyfriend's hoodie as a gift. FML
Today, in protest at my girlfriend stealing the blankets every night, I actually bought myself a separate duvet. She stole that one too in her sleep, wrapped it round herself, and turned over so many times it disappeared under her somewhere. I went and slept on the sofa in my dressing gown. FML
Today, I got to sleep in the same bed as the love of my life...and her new boyfriend. FML
Today, I slept in my boyfriend's room for the first time. I also wet the bed for the first time in a decade. FML
Today, I went to my grandmom's house for an hour or so. When I came home, my boyfriend was on the bed, covered in the sheets and about to cry. Turns out he taped his ballsack to his leg and couldn't get it off because it "hurts too much." I'm 24 and he's 26. FML
Today, I found out my boyfriend regularly has his ex stay over. They even share a bed. He doesn't see a problem with this. FML
Today, my boyfriend came round to drop off some underwear, which I'd left at his house. Not all of what he brought was mine. FML
Today, while visiting my grandparents, I used one of their blankets to keep warm. Later, I saw their dog getting busy with said blanket. When my grandparents saw my look of horror, they explained that he has "sexual relations" with the blanket every night. Thanks for telling me, guys. FML
Today, I woke up to a disappointed boyfriend. He told me he spent an hour last night farting on my pillow to see if I would wake up with pink-eye. He's 23 years-old. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Sounds to me like he's not over her.

When I read blankie I was like that's not too bad considering I have one that helps me sleep until I read the last part and I was like okayy maybe not

If you let him stay and sleep with it, YDI.

Go get your ex-boyfriend, claim him to be your teddy bear, and insist that you can't possibly sleep without it.

Wow, the questions I have. How long have they been broken up? Have the two of you had sex and, if so, were there problems? Are there other objects that he seems to unusually important? It could be that he isn't over her. Or, he could have a fetish for women's underwear and/or sleepwear. It is pretty strange to admit that he is bringing his ex-girlfriend's nightgown. That could suggest that the real reason is even worse in his mind...it is his nightgown. Best of luck OP.

Hope you kicked his ass to the curb. If you don't you will be back on here writing more horror stories!

Pay no attention to the idiots telling you "talk it out." There are some things you talk out and some things you get the hell away from.

Option 5 the silk night gown is actually big enough to be his blanket.

Sounds to me like you need a new boyfriend.. One who is not obsessed with his ex and is only focused on you. I hope it all works out for you though.

I was about to get really upset about you coming in between a man and his blankie but then I got the the end... im sorry OP.
