Today, after several years spent hung up on my ex, I was finally moving on. I was on a date with my new boyfriend when my ex walked past us. He broke down crying, got on his knees, and begged me to come back. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I went to my ex-girlfriend's house to bring her her stuff back. We broke up earlier this week after a two year relationship, and I'd hoped she would've realized her mistake and ask me to stay for a bit and talk. I rang the doorbell and her new boyfriend opened the door. FML
Today, my mom called me to tell me she'd got in touch with my ex for his birthday, and that the two of them had made a plan for us to get back together. My new boyfriend was in the process of proposing to me. FML
Today, my boyfriend of over a year broke up with me. Completely crushed, I spent an hour gathering up everything he ever gave me. Then he calls back to say how stupid he was and how he wanted me back. I was ecstatic. An hour later he figured out he was okay with his first decision. FML
Today, I was coming home from a date, I saw my ex standing in my drive-way. He had dumped me 2 months ago saying he couldn't talk me. To make him jealous, I made out with my new guy before greeting him. Turns out he couldn't talk to me because he had had cancer and had been afraid to tell me. FML
Today, I was making out with my boyfriend. When we took a break and went downstairs, he checked the mail. He had received a letter from his ex-girlfriend, which he opened in front of me. He then began sobbing on my shoulder and broke up with me. He still had to drive me home. FML
Today, I went on a date I was really enjoying. My ex-boyfriend called halfway through. When I answered, he told me he wanted to get back together and couldn’t stop thinking about me. I didn’t realize my phone was on speaker. My date heard everything. FML
Today, my ex came back into my life, professing his love and begging for another chance. This begging act ended rather suddenly once he remembered I have a daughter. FML
Today, I was chilling with my best friend and suddenly I got a text from my ex saying he wanted me back. My best friend saw the text and said, "Don't go back with him, you deserve better." I wanted to go back with him but I didn't. Later, I saw them hanging out and turns out they're dating. FML
Today, I broke up with my boyfriend. I found out he was seeing someone behind my back: my ex-boyfriend. FML
Today, I was with my boyfriend and we were in his car when he burst out crying, I thought it might have been because we had gotten into a huge fight and he felt bad. No, he cried on my shoulder for a half hour because he misses his ex-girlfriend. He's been writing songs about wanting her back. FML

You yourself said "after several years", so I feel its time to let him go. I know it sucks, but if it took him seeing you with someone else to want you back, he is not worth it. He shouldn't have let you go if he really wanted you. Try it our with your new guy and don't compare him to your ex- he's an EX for a reason!

For some reason, this FML makes me think of that damn mop in that one set of commercials. Baby come back! You can blame it all on me!! Some people just don't know how to let go and move on.

That's why you guys should talk things out before you guys break up.
sugarshane007 20
With several years, and time spent hung up, I'd say they likely talked it out, and more than once.

Someone's illiterate. They've been broken up

What's the perfect person if it's not the perfect time? They could have been absolutely perfect together, but the circumstances at the time of the breakup didn't allow them to be together. It's not always just a "ohh there's no communication, lets break up."

Sounds like something that would happen to my friend. Makes me wonder if she posted it hmmm...
xXxIracebethxXx 14
Yes, because obviously this has never, ever happened to anyone else besides your friend.

move on..
sugarshane007 20
OP clearly moved on, and her Ex clearly didn't. Not OP's fault, so why tell her to move on?

Umm, she did. That's why it says 'I was finally moving on'.

Try to channel the old emotions you've [successfully] created and not let your ex get to you. Good luck!

Hmmm....so he only wants you back after he sees you with another guy? He's not worth it.
afallingstar 22
Don't know what you had til it's gone I would guess...his loss and OP should just keep moving on and forget him...as others have said an ex is an ex for a reason

That's cute

you're cute

I fail to see the 'cuteness' in this situation.

Oh man. Sounds like a painful decision. But you have your reasons and you know them better than any of us, so I'll just wish you luck!

Wow! Now, you've got options. You may not go back with the old guy, but you will certainly gain "hand" with the new one! Men are like dogs. Something that may be somewhat desirable to a dog becomes VERY desirable if another dog is interested in it. Girls who know how this works use male friends to attract guys they really want.

If men are like dogs, then how come my boyfriend won't play fetch when I throw this lovely, brand-new tennis ball for him? :P
raven1911 3
because your throwing it, put it by your lady parts and he will "fetch" it 98% of the time, just remember we're like dogs that means you have to reward good behaviour

Same with woman, as soon as an ex girlfriend notices you with a new girl she wants you back more than ever. It's not a one sided thing lol
