Today, while shopping, I bumped into a guy I knew in high school. He went on about he heard I'd got married, looked like I'd had a baby, and that, "she looks just like you!" The kid was my niece, and my husband broke up with me 2 years ago. Thanks for bringing that up. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I ran into an old high school friend while out with my husband. When she inquired who I was married to, I pointed to my husband, who was looking at shirts. She laughed and said, "No really?", insinuating that I couldn't get anyone that good looking. FML
Today, I ran into an old friend of mine at the store. All was going fine, until she showed me her new fiancé. My now ex-boyfriend. FML
Today, I saw my older sister for the first time in three years. We hadn't spoke since I found out that she was the woman my college boyfriend left me for. Unfortunately, our reunion was fueled by her two-year-old son's desire to meet his dad. My husband. FML
Today, I was visited by a high school friend who lives in another state. She was furious because I got married a few months ago, and she kinda had feelings for me. I had to ask her to leave. Here's the funny thing: she's been married for 4 years and they have a son, and she didn't even invite me to her wedding back then. FML
Today, I found out that my husband only dated me because I look like what he thought the daughter he had with his first wife might look like when she's grown up. FML
Today, I went to my high school reunion. Someone walked up to me and said, "Wow, you look so different!" She then followed it up with, "You used to be so pretty, what happened?" FML
Today, I talked to my ex from Uni for the first time in 10 years. I told her my wife and I just had a baby, and her immediate response was, "I WAS A BABY ONCE!" What the hell did I see in her? FML
Today, while out with my family, I happened to run into "the one who got away." She smilingly introduced herself to my wife, who definitely noticed that she and our daughter share the same name. FML
Today, I received the newspaper from my hometown. My ex-husband's wedding announcement and picture were on the front page. His new wife has the same first name as me. All my Facebook friends from high school commented on how much weight I've lost and how good I look in my wedding photo. FML
Today, I was meeting my husband's old friends at his 20 year high school reunion. He introduced me as his 'friend from work' to his ex girlfriend. FML

Ydi for being so sensitive about it. He was trying to be nice to you and start a conversation.

Oh get over yourself. How were they to know. After 2 years u should at least be able to state that you are divorced & have no children.

Is it just me, or is it odd that its phrased "broke up" after two years of marriage? Isnt that a divorce??

Don't blame him; he didn't know. Besides, I think you should've moved on after 2 years. You could've asked him out.

Well If you kept yourself in shape It wouldn't have been an awkward encounter. I understand break ups are hard but to look amazing post break up is the best way to get back at your ex

Why do people think she's "let herself go?" I'm no psychic, but my guess is it "looked like" she'd had a child because she had the kid with her, not because she physically looked like she'd had a child. Logic also indicates that the FML is that she neither is married nor has a child, things she obviously wants. As in, "He essentially gave me a rundown about all the things I thought I'd have by now but don't. FML."

It was a kind gesture and he didnt know any better. How dare you accuse a guy when all he wants to do is compliment you and how you had done something successful with your life.
