Today, I’m realising that at some point I should have just settled for the guys who were there, instead of waiting for the fantasy perfect guy. All my exes are happily married with grown kids, whereas I’m in my 50’s, never married, no kids or grandkids, and will probably die alone with my cat eating my face. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I realized I’m always being told how “amazing” I am, yet no guy wants to choose me. I’m that girl who is always overlooked and friend-zoned. I have so much love to give yet I never get any of it in return. I guess I should adopt lots of cats and write off guys forever. FML
Today, I saw yet another dear friend from uni get married, living the good life in their new home. Here am I in my 30s, with no love life, and feeling like that's never going to be for me. FML
Today, I read an FML about a guy who only kissed his girlfriend to make her shut up up. I left a comment, telling him to break up with her and stop wasting her time, only to realise I’d wasted 3 years on my abusive alcoholic ex. I’m now 30 and starting to think I’m getting too old to find someone and have kids. FML
Today, I realized that every guy I get with or try a relationship with always ghosts me or friendzones me, and chooses to date someone else. It’s been a repetitive pattern for the past three years or so. I think I’m just going to adopt a bunch of pets and forget dating altogether. FML
Today, I’m at the age where I should be married or in a committed relationship and having kids. Instead, I’m STILL single. I haven’t had a first date or a first kiss. If any of that changes, luck and time aren’t going to be on my side because biologically I won’t be able to have kids. FML
Today, my cheating ex is still happily married with his new wife and kids 4 years after he left me for her. Meanwhile, I keep getting ghosted, left on “Read/Seen”, and getting a guy to be into me is like pulling teeth. I think it’s time to throw the towel on love and die alone. FML
Today, I was having a chuckle at the girl who used to torment me since she’s on her fourth marriage. Then I realized she’s gotten four handsome, rich men to marry her, while I’m still hopelessly single and haven’t had a boyfriend since high school. FML
Today, I realized the number of cats I currently have is higher than the number of guys I've ever dated. FML
Today, it seems that my four previous girlfriends all left me because they found better, more attractive, more wealthy, more interesting men. My entire love life feels like I’m the warm up act for the main event of other dudes getting laid. FML
Today, I realized I’d rather be the crazy cat lady rather than get married and have kids like a normal human. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

maybe ease up on that three mile long list of requirements no one will ever meet, realise there is nevera perfect one and all relationships require a mature level of compromise to work.

Even if you somehow found the perfect guy, the relationship still would take hard work and effort. All relationships do. That said, it’s never too late to turn things around.

I blame Disney.

I blame the parents who didn't teach their kids the difference between Disney and reality.

Where’s Richard Pencil? I’d imagine he’d have an inappropriate-but-funny comment on this.

OP your life is not over in your 50’s. You can make realistic changes if you want. There is no one perfect mate. There are simply people who are compatible or not and ultimately people with whom you can share love or not. It’s never too late to find the love your seek if you are open to real people who may have a few imperfections like we all have. I hope you find that relationship.

My uncle didn't get married until he was 50, and he said it was worth the wait. You've got time. Edit: Even if you ARE fifty, you've got time! Go mingle! Meet people! If someone's out there, you'll find them.

I get it, really sucks just finding someone self aware, mentally/physically stable without STDs is such a huge ask somehow.

You're better off alone than saddled with the man-sized toddler with the fragile ego.
