Today, my soon-to-be-ex emailed me a pic of them with the person whom they left me for. After I didn't respond, they called just to say, "Fuck off and die." Four days previously, I got laid off from my job. I'm getting too old for this stuff. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I felt like letting my ex know just how I felt about all the bullshit he put me through. I dug up his number, typed a long paragraph with lots of pain and emotion, and sent it. The reply was, "No wonder he broke up with you." Thanks, whoever has that number now. FML
Today, I got a screenshot from my former supervisor's Instagram that stated, "Finally, I'm rid of these morons at my work." That's how I found out me and other workmates had been laid off. FML
Today, my boss let me know that I'm being laid off, via a text message that ended in "lmao". FML
Today, I got laid off. I spent the last two months planning a conference for my company. They fired me the day before the conference. I skipped my ex-boyfriend's funeral to be at the first day of this job. FML
Today, I received an email saying, "Thinking of you and hoping you are taking care." It was from the love of my life. We broke up 20 years ago. Previously, we had contact every 5+ years. It's just too late. FML
Today, I received a "Happy Birthday" text from my ex. I thought maybe she missed me, but when I replied with a polite, "Thank you," they responded with "Sorry, wrong person. However, fuck you." Ouch. Happy birthday to me, indeed. FML
Today, my boss decided our 4 year relationship was unethical, so she broke up with me, then terminated my employment. FML
Today, I found out that my husband wants to leave me. I got the message loud and clear when his girlfriend forwarded me screenshots of all their texts. FML
Today, I was driving to work and I got a text from my girlfriend. She said she was breaking up with me. I was a little heartbroken, but I had to get on with my day. I got to work and my boss fired me. Turns out, my boss and girlfriend have been having an affair and she told him to fire me. FML
Today, at work, I stepped out for a few minutes to use the bathroom. Shortly after returning, I found out the hard way that one of my coworkers had used my computer to send a profanity-filled email to our boss, calling him an asshole and telling him to go fuck himself. I'm now jobless. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

You mean your newest-Ex, as she made it clear y'all are done. It sux that you lost your job, but it shows that she was using you as her bank and that there was no real connection. Don't give up on this blessing in disguise. Spend as much time looking / applying for jobs as you would have spent (or expect to spend) working. Get a better job and block her on all platforms.

It’s January 2023, so I would just say that while I’m sorry for these shitty things happening, it’s also the year and time to turn things around. Look at it this way—that person sounds horrible, narcissistic and immature so you’re better off. As for the job maybe it’s a blessing in disguise that you will find better, somewhere that you deserve and that actually deserves you. I know it’s hard but through times of serious struggle is when we learn the most, and after such periods are usually periods of sunshine where our hard work pays off. You’ll get to the job, partner, and life that you want, just keep going!

think of it as the universe is taking things out of your life to open up opportunities for you to follow your path without that toxic asshole 😉

Time to warn your replacement perhaps? Unless they already know about you, in which case they deserve it.
