I'm an empath
Today, my ex of three years wanted me to comfort him because his new girlfriend broke up with him as well. And what do I do? I help him, I don’t fucking know why, and now he won’t leave me alone. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I spent most of my morning comforting the guy I love because his fiancée dumped him for some other guy. He continuously told me I had no clue that kind of pain he was in. He dumped me three years ago for the girl that just left him. FML
Today, my ex-boyfriend asked me for emotional support because his crazy new girlfriend hit him in the face over a text of mine. Fuck his life, as I was only asking for his mum's ravioli recipe, but I'm a little surprised he's already on vacation with the new girl just two weeks after our break-up. FML
Today, my ex started dating the girl he kept telling me not to worry about. We broke up three hours ago. FML
Today, I woke up to my girlfriend sobbing so I went over to comfort her. She didn't want to talk about it, but was inconsolable. I called her best friend to help out, as maybe it's easier for her to talk to a woman instead. I found out from her friend that my partner's ex got his new girlfriend pregnant. That's why. FML
Today, my ex, who I still live with, invited he’s best friend (a drama starter) and his new love interest over for dinner while I was at work. Now I’m outside, waiting for them both to leave. FML
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, my jerk of an ex messaged to apologize for dumping me two weeks ago. I took the high road and was overtly polite and friendly, hoping to end things civil. Our conversation ended when he casually mentioned he is moving in with his new girlfriend. FML
Today, my boyfriend of a year and a half left me for another girl. Who was the only person who cared enough to comfort me? The girl he left me for. FML
Today, I was hanging out with my ex's new girlfriend. I found out he was dating us both at the same time and was comparing between us. That is why he broke up with me two years ago and is still with her ever since. 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

It's called ex for a reason. Block him. You need to move along.

You need to learn to stand up for yourself. He’s doing this because he knows he can get away with it with you. Boundaries are important.

You were curious, then you remembered why you left, it’s okay you’re not alone there

Because you're the Hollaback girl. That's why.

Your could just tell him how you feel, you're allowed to do that. This doesn't have to be a dramatic thing.

I knew someone like this Like others have said I would set boundaries, point him in the right direction in terms of resources, move on & slowly block contact. You’re no one’s babysitter, comforter, or therapist. He can surely figure out how to manage for himself and take care of his own feelings and mental health without relying on other people.
