Today, I was flirting with a cute bartender on my last day in Spain. It was going well until we somehow got onto the topic of how I was recently dumped by my boyfriend of 3 years via Facebook. He spent the next 5 minutes laughing and telling his coworkers how hilarious that was. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, it's been 3 days since I matched with someone online and have been crafting witty, charming messages. We finally agreed to meet, and the second I walked into the café, I realized he was the bartender who'd already seen me cry there after a breakup six months earlier. FML
Today, my boyfriend of 3 years dumped me. I was really depressed, so a couple of my friends came over to take me out to a club to cheer me up. My ex was there, partying with his friends. He came up to me and my friends, and asked my friend if she wanted to hang out sometime. She said yes. FML
Today, I was in an online chatroom speaking to this girl that I really hit it off with. She then confided in me that she'd recently been dumped by her boyfriend and that he was a jerk. A little while later, we exchanged photos. It was my ex. FML
Today, I was dumped via text halfway through my 8-hour bar shift. I had to deal with my co-workers and customers asking me how my vacation with my now-ex was for the next 4 hours. FML
Today, I made my way to a bar for a first date with a guy I had been talking to online. It turned out he was actually my ex-boyfriend in disguise, trying to get revenge for dumping him. FML
Today, I went to meet a guy that i had already started to be involved with at a bar. We laughed, kissed and had a great time, until he admitted he was just doing all of this to make his ex-girlfriend jealous. Guess who was waiting for me outside. FML
Today, I found out I was single by scrolling through Facebook and seeing my (now ex) boyfriend's relationship as "single." I was at work, in the middle of my shift. I haven't been electronically dumped since Middle School. He's 36. FML
Today, my boyfriend of 2 years broke up with me. Ten minutes after, he called me asking how to change his relationship status on Facebook. FML
Today, I thought I'd finally make a step towards getting over my ex-fiancé by flirting with a cute waiter. I left him a note on the bill. He comes back, says "which one of you is [name]?" and leans down close to me to say, "Thanks for your note, but your card was declined." FML
Today, I finally worked up the courage to start a Facebook chat with a guy I really like. It went so well, and he even agreed to hang out sometime. Seconds after we finished our conversation, he changed his status to, "Desperate bitches really piss me off." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Was it one of them awkward moments where he spoke Spanish but you could understand every bit of it?

It always grinds my gears when I hear about people dumping others via message. Tell them in person if possible. Sorry to hear about the touchy subject being brought up. At least you'll probably never see them again.

Maybe you shouldn't have talked about your ex? But anyway, don't lose your self esteem over a guy who finds something like that completely hilarious. He didn't even try to hold in his laughter or anything so I'd say he doesn't give a damn about your feelings. Sorry, OP.

To be fair it was dick movie, but he could've been laughing at how messed up it was not that you were hurt. That context does matter, plus being a bar tender I'm sure he hears stories like this frequently. Also flirting with the bartender in a popular vacation spot? Most guys in that position probably slept with so many tourists who knows what unintentional souvenirs you may have brought back. Be thankful it didn't work out.

How's it feel knowing you were with a douche for 3 years?

What is it supposed to feel like exactly? A walk in the friggin park with birds singing like in Disney? It feels probably like the dude tore out her heart and stomped all over it, and then walked away (figuratively). Three years of her life down the drain because of an asshole, it's not going to feel like nothing is wrong.

At least it was your last day and you won't have to see him again. Even if you were interested in him there are plenty others out there.

You've been with a guy for three years, and you go on a trip to Spain without him. All things equal, YDI.

YDI, for telling someone you don't even know that you were dumped in the first place, not only that how you were dumped is embarrassing enough as it is. Also why talk about exes with a guy you think is cute on your last day of vacation you should have spent that time talking about something far more interesting.

You didn't lose when he started laughing, you lost when you started telling that story during flirting. Sorry, I had to vote YDI on your TMI. Apply a filter and better luck next time.

So basically you didn't get your one night of "Fun" With the bartender. Why do people dump others via messaging??
