Today, on our first holiday together, my boyfriend decided to spend his time reminiscing about having come here once with his ex. He then decided to go type up an email to her about it. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I broke up with my boyfriend because I found an email he had written to an ex-fling telling her he was single and wanted to meet up. He wrote that email from my computer, in my apartment, on Valentine's Day. FML
Today, I was making out with my boyfriend. When we took a break and went downstairs, he checked the mail. He had received a letter from his ex-girlfriend, which he opened in front of me. He then began sobbing on my shoulder and broke up with me. He still had to drive me home. FML
Today, I went to spend some time with my family. Unbeknownst to me, while I was having quality time with my family, my boyfriend of a year and a half was packing up his belongings and going back to his estranged wife. FML
Today, my long-distance boyfriend wanted to spend time online with me. He kept quiet on Skype and went on a hundred different stupid websites, laughing by himself. Afterwards, he told me he really enjoyed our time together. FML
Today, my boyfriend gave me a really sweet poem that he wrote for me. I think it was secondhand - the first letter of each verse spelled his ex girlfriend's name. FML
Today, my boyfriend took a day off from work because he felt "sick". I thought he might come see me since he hadn't come over in a while. Nope, he went to hang out with his ex instead. FML
Today, in the middle of our one year anniversary dinner, my boyfriend's ex-girlfriend showed up declaring her love for him. They left together and I had to take the bus home. FML
Today my boyfriend left his camera with me. I wanted to see the recent photos we took at the park next to my house. I scrolled through and found pictures of him and his ex-girlfriend the weekend before at the same park, posing under the same tree we had taken a photo. We've been together for a year. FML
Today, my boyfriend took a selfie of us. When he turned his phone around, I saw his photos and there was a picture of him with his ex girlfriend earlier that day, despite him saying he had been at work all day. FML
Today, it's been a week since I flew down to stay with my long-distance boyfriend. We went on long walks on the shore, under the stars, and had an unforgettable picnic viewing the sunset. I just now received a message of screenshots displaying him attempting to hook up with another girl. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

You should have grabbed him and given him a memory better than anything he could have done with her. Problem solved.

Tell him to give up. Seriously.... There is a reason they're exes.

Today is a holiday?!

^ Yeah, uhm, I wanna apologize to all the non-Americans for this culturally-illiterate piece of shit above me. British English isn't exactly an obscure dialect you know.
walmartpaysme 15
The fact that he wants to talk to her while he is with OP is a pretty good sign that he is not over his ex and OP should be moving on.
starman02 12
Tell him to give up? I'd tell OP to give up!

Excuse me #20. How does bot knowing something make me a piece of shit? You do not know where I live or anything so you have no idea of I am American or not. If you must know things down to a personal level I have masses in my brain that are being tested for cancer. They discovered the masses because I kept forgetting things and being forgetful.

#30 they were referring to the fact that some people use the word "holiday" in place of vacation. They assumed you are American because I think we are the only English speaking nation that doesn't commonly use that term. Although, they were a little harsh about it.

The drama on this site will never cease to amaze me.

Are we talking about that 15 year old who thought he was the smartest guy ever again?

Don't let assholes like #20 get you down! You're better than that jerk...shame on them for passing judgment on You like that!

20, you don't have to be such an asshole. Yeah what he said was pretty dumb but that doesn't make him a piece of shit. It makes you one though for calling him that.

What holiday is today?

It's "Learn British English" Day. If I can learn the word differences in school, so can you.

"let's go skinny dipping!" "yeah I remember when mr and my ex did that here... We did things about 7 times and I kept finishing before her! Funny huh?!

agonydrum 7
I guarantee if she started giving head he would stop thinking about his ex
klovely22 13
Then he could email his ex about the new memory.
elliepenguin 5
By "memory" I hope you mean slapping the shit out of him.
Factor_fml 6
And this would culminate with him crying out his ex's name. Wonderful memories she's getting here.
afairshake 8
I have to agree fully
perdix 31
Email or sexting? The sad thing is when he writes "wish you were here," he really means it. Hopefully, he'll be polite enough to let you in on a three-way when she magically shows up. I mean, it's the least he could do.
nothing92x 13
Um no...it's called if he offers then she dumps him. Honestly, your comment is idiotic and unneeded, just as mine is. Faith in humanity: -50.

I hate when people try to reason with perdix. They just don't understand.

Don't you love when someone gets all serious about a joke.

Lose*. It's lose , Hun.

If your faith is loose, you'd better catch it before it tries to play in traffic or something. Industrial strength metal chains work well, but if you're lost in the wilderness, a braided rope of your own piss can work as well.

33, it's comments like yours that make me wonder where proper spelling has gone

nothing92x 13
I don't always take the time to read someone's profile as I sometimes am rushing to and from places. No I am not new, but I have seen several comments around that would on the level of the person I replied to and they would mean it in to the letter. Sorry if my I ability to notice the difference between types of comments is not that great.

It's comments like these that make me NOT GIVE A DAMN!

Then start texting one of your exs see how he likes it
captainburke 5
Sounds like he was being impulsive, were you guys drinking?
WiseGuy79 14
Sounds like someone isn't over their ex... Better slap some sense into him!
gc327072 31
B-B-B-BITCH SLAP! Seriously, OP, go talk some sense into him, smack some sense into him, f*** some sense into him... DO SOMETHING!
alycion 39
Sometimes it's normal for someone to remember an ex if the relationship was long and the break up civil. That being said, still not right to do what he did.
brianfantana32 10
Memories are memories, you shouldn't be jealous. At least he's not describing the sex with you.
kittytub 12
it's not being jealous; there is a reason they are ex's. if op's SO really does still like/love/have feelings for his ex, he shouldn't be with op. prolonging it or cheating would make things worse.
walmartpaysme 15
If he was just remembering that would be one thing, but he actually went to go e-mail her about it. That's something totally different. He felt the need to tell his ex where he was and that he remembered their trip together.
AloysiusWeasley 15
This - it goes to show he's still obsessed with her/wants her on some level, and nothing good comes from that. She's wasting her time on some selfish jerk, and she needs to run run run run/ /BT;DT
