Today, a few months after my co-worker had stopped wearing her engagement ring, I decided to put on the moves and start flirting with her. I soon found out that her fiancé had died, and that she's nowhere near over him, despite her brave face. I feel like a total asshole. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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 broke up with me over text message while I was away for work. She later posted photos of her and her new boyfriend on Facebook, while still wearing my engagement ring. FML
Today, I got home and my girlfriend was wearing the ring I bought last week. Apparently she found it and thought to herself, "Fuck it, we’re engaged now so I’ll just start wearing it", completely bypassing the actual proposal part of getting engaged. I’m actually really mad at her right now. FML
Today, I found out my fiancée has been sleeping with the salesman I bought her engagement ring from. He knew. FML
Today, I found out that my engagement ring was actually my husband's ex-fiancée's. FML
Today, I found out that my ex-girlfriend got engaged to a coworker. I got her the job. FML
Today, my former fiancée, who I stopped seeing 5 months ago, married another guy. She wore the dress that I'd purchased for our would-be wedding. FML
Today, I got home early from work at 2am to find my girlfriend of 5 years missing. Upon further inspection, I caught the "other man" dropping her off out front. So much for the engagement ring I bought for her. FML
Today, my girlfriend found the engagement ring I'd bought. She looked at it and said, "This is pathetic. You shouldn't even bother." FML
Today, I found out that my fiancée wishes she'd never said yes when I proposed, as she is in love with another man, and has been hiding their relationship for years. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Well then offer her comfort. Who knows? You may make her happy and things could build to a relationship. Just let her heal.

Now your next step should be just to comfort her. She needs it whether it looks like she does or not.

What a poor widow :(

She's not technically a widow if they weren't married yet. It's still sad, but your terminology is off.

There is no proper term for someone who has lost their fiancé, widow works just as well as anything. Stop being a cow, at least garrett1999 is being compassionate.

You could stand to learn a thing or two from the pick up artist known as mystery.

Not your fault, but now you have an opportunity to comfort her, and see where it goes.

you didn't know. Not your fault. But you can help her too even if she's not over him

If anything, just comfort her.

don't blame yourself! you're not really an a-hole when you barely know what happened!

There's no reason to feel like an asshole- you waited months after you noticed the ring was gone (a real asshole would pounce in the first few days), you didn't know it was more than just a regular break up, and by your reaction here I'm guessing you apologized and backed off pretty quickly. As long as you don't go back and do it again you've done nothing wrong.

Get her some flowers and tell her you were unaware and you're sorry (:

Hey you didn't know. You are not at fault. It's fine. If you really like this girl you'd help her go through this. Other than that don't feel bad.

You didn't know. If you knew he died you'd be an asshole but it was an honest mistake, you're in the clear.
