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.

He's obviously using you OP. he just wants to know he can have you, or else why would he wait until you have a new boyfriend? Don't get back with him, hes a douche.

Nothing wrong in This day and age after he made an ass out of himself for ya and if he means that much to you give "HIM" a call .... If he's not ... be fair to your new guy hanging around and that " HAS" feelings and continue forward

Damn. That's crazy. I'm gonna ahead and just say get back with him. Rekindle the romance you two once had together.

In all fairness, we don't know the details of what happened. I doubt that seeing her with another guy is the actual reason for him begging her to come back. Several years is a long time to be hung up on someone, and sometimes there's more to it than just what's "better for you". You never know how things will play out, and this seems to have been a very meaningful relationship for both of them. There's more to love than calculating what will benefit you more.

It was a meaningful relationship. It lasted about six years, and we were each other's first bf/gf, first kiss, and first to sleep with. We really did love each other, and even though I've moved on, there will always be a more than special place for him in my heart, no matter who I'm with. That day was the first time I've seen him in years. I got a new number, s it was impossible for us to talk. Seeing him again, it makes me want him even more. But I love my new boyfriend too, that's the problem. I just don't love him as much as my first. But I broke up with my first boyfriend because he began ignoring me. Sometimes we wouldn't talk for weeks. And now all of a sudden he wants me back? His exact statement was, "Please, please come back to me! I now realize I made a mistake! I love you, and I will never love anyone else the same way again!" But my new boyfriend, he pays attention to me. He said that if I want to, he'll let me leave him for my ex because he just wants me to be happy. I don't understand my feelings at all!

A similar thing happened to my sister. It didn't suck for me, though, because I really hated her ex and seeing him in tears made me secretly happy.

@13 Perdix , that last sentence you wrote is why I say that many women (and I mean MANY) are a bunch of conniving bitches.

I said I already had a boyfriend and am moving on, but we did exchange numbers "just in case."
