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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

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.

So make up for it. Be a friend, a shoulder, an ear, whatever she needs.

What matters is you regret it. Try comforting her now

It's not your fault, you didn't know. Some men take advantage of a vulnerable women and it's good that you weren't doing that.

there was no way you could have known that. just apologize and tell her you're there if she needs someone

I can't see how so many people voted YDI. If you waited an appropriate amount of time (ie a few months, which you said you did) and you didn't know what happened, how could this possibly be your fault?? FYL

You should say, "Hey, you should go out with me because I'm fun. Your fiancé is such a stiff."

You couldn't have known so don't beat yourself up over it! Just be a friend to her for now because she probably needs someone.

You kinda deserve it for flirting with her before even bothering to learn the most basic details about her.
