Today, ex-fiancee attempted to off herself because I dumped her for someone else. I’m getting blamed for it. They don’t understand that it wasn’t fair to her for me to string her along when I had feelings for someone else. She did this out her own free will. Yet, I’m the “bad guy.” FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my ex is bad-mouthing me, saying I dumped her because she got fat. That’s not true. I left because she completely gave up on life, no matter how much I tried to help. Not only did I get her gym membership, I even paid out of pocket for a mental health professional. That’s not cheap. FML
Today, my fiancée handed me her engagement ring back and told me she felt like she's pressuring me into marriage, so to make me feel better about it we’re no longer engaged. On top of this, I found out she’s started talking to her ex again. FML
Today, my fiancée a year left me, a week after she told me she’s still talking to her ex. Her excuse for not telling me about this? Because, “You’ll make it a big deal out of it.” FML
Today, I went out with my friend and her boyfriend. Not knowing him very well, I accidentally called him by her ex’s name. He took that as a sign she was still seeing the ex and dumped her on the spot. She’s now not speaking to me for ruining her life. I’m just bad with names. FML
Today, my best friend announced her engagement to my ex. We broke up two days ago. I’m no longer speaking to her. She tells me I’m being a drama queen and to “stop throwing a pity party” because “If he was the one he would still be with you.” FML
Today, my fiancée's ex sent me screenshots of their conversation. In it, he told her how badly he’d wanted to marry her, what a great life he'd have given her, and what a huge mistake she'd made by letting him get away. My ring, our house even our pets should’ve been hers. Gee, thanks for settling. FML
Today, my psycho ex crashed a date with my girlfriend. She acted like we were still together and made a big show of dumping me for cheating on her. My actual girlfriend bought it hook line and sinker. Now I'm single again. FML
Today, my girlfriend broke up with me. The constant harassment, threats and stalking by my ex-wife have finally driven her away. This is the third time this has happened. My ex physically beat the other two up, and now she’s scared away the one I wanted to marry. The courts have done nothing. FML
Today, my ex is calling everyone I know, telling them I ruined her life. I'm not built for serious relationships, I was very open with her about that, the moment stuff gets serious I freak out, yet she chased me at every stage, then blamed me when I couldn't handle her demands for serious commitment, and left. FML
Today, my ex-girlfriend was having lunch with my parents. Believing she was in love with me and feeling the same, I dropped by. My parents told me that she’s their friend and that she has a boyfriend that they approve of, all while telling me I was never good enough for her. FML

Well, given the language you are using in this post, it seems like you give zero f**ks about what you put her through. You were her fiancee, she was looking forward to spending the rest of her life with you. And then you just, to put it in your words "dump her". And you left her for someone else, making her feel worthless. You shattered her trust, not only in you, but for other prospective suitors as well. I understand that you had feelings for someone else, but given the level of consideration I'm seeing, just from this post alone, it seems like you approached the situation indelicately. She feels abandoned. I don't blame those around her for seeing you as the bad guy.

…okay, but *did* you string her along well after you knew you were in love with someone else? Or did it happen organically? Because that is a significant factor on whether this is a FYL or YDI, in my opinion.

Knew a young woman whose fiancée threatened to off himself if she ever left him. That was total emotional manipulation. In general, no one is obligated to stay with someone in a relationship, and I’ve seen people use the threat of self harm to emotionally manipulate their partner so I’d give you the benefit of the doubt.

I hope your “current “ love interest dumps your sorry ass

id say the leaving her for another person is probably your part in all this, so you didn't just end a relationship simply, you betrayed her and ended the relationship, that would def cause high amount of pain, what she does with the pain is her choice, but you did stick the gun in her back and expect her to smile and move on?

Riiight, you sound really torn up about how this affects *you*. I sense zero concern for your ex-fiancée. F her life, not yours.

You are the bad guy. I hope the other woman appreciates what a bastard you are and ruins your life. Dumping you would be letting you off easy -- I hope she gets her hooks into you and makes you pay for eternity.

Can you imagine, if I said the same about my X of 17 years (4 kids 1 terminally ill and 1 with mental disabilities that were my step kids left with me) as she came out as a lesbian and moved on with a new wife and family? I thought I was the mature one by telling my bio son that everyone deserves to be happy, even if it hurts. Silly me. I should have just spewed the diarrhea you just did. That would have gone over swimmingly.

you are the bad guy. you had a commitment to this woman. she was planning on spending the rest of her life with you. your job, if you caught feelings for someone else, was to back away from them and honor your fiancee. so much for love and commitment

I hope this next girl string you along until engagement then drops you like a bag of rocks. Just like you did

100 points for reading comprehension everyone. Everyone deserves happiness. " it wasn’t fair to her for me to string her along when I had feelings for someone else." IE he did not string her along and ended the relationship. This is emotional manipulation and nothing more. Its a weak move by weak minded people (granted may just be weak in the moment).

@cpguru24 - That's not the issue, it's that he clearly doesn't give a shit if she lives or dies. He never once mentioned emotional manipulation or abuse from her, so he looks like the asshole here.
