Today, for the second time, I met the man I'm having an arranged marriage with in 3 months. I'd previously met him last night, while he was mugging me. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was left at the altar. For the second time. By the same man. FML
Today, I met my girlfriend's husband for the first time. It went surprisingly well, despite neither of us knowing the other existed before tonight, but it's still a miserable situation no matter what. FML
Today, I met my husband's family for the first time. My nightmare versions were better. FML
Today, I met my husband's other wife. FML
Today, I met my wife's other husband. FML
Today, I met my online date at a café. As soon as I walked in, I walked straight up to the wrong person, and launched into a 2-minute ramble about how excited I was to finally meet him. He just blinked and said, “I’m married.” My actual date was sitting right behind me, albeit a similar but not as good looking man. FML
Today, there was a knock at my door, and I was greeted by a punch to the face. The man was the extremely angry "fiancé" of the girl I've been married to for just over a year. FML
Today, I finally met the guy I've been getting to know online in person for a date. When we saw each other, we both realized that we had heavily Facetuned our profile pictures. The awkward silence that followed was the longest five minutes of my life. FML
Today, my mother arranged for me to meet the man she is planning to marry. Turns out, my future stepfather is also my creepy old boss, who spent 4 months hitting on me before I quit a year ago. FML
Today, I found out the man I have a date with next week is married. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

The arranged marriage is really the worst part of this FML.

This is one of those situations I really want to hear more about.

At least he's got a good, high-paying, steady job. And it's a job "they" can't outsource to China. Even better, when you are married to him, you'll be able fleece him for money costing him many times last night's loss.

Run away from home and never look back!!! You deserve to marry someone you choose yourself.

OP, I'm on the app, so I can't see where you're from, and so have no idea what your culture is like or what the laws are in your country, but you should absolutely do whatever it takes to get out of that marriage, even if it means running away from home. Your life with that man will be nothing but misery. If all you have to do to get out of that marriage is to speak up, (which I hope is the case) then by all means do it. Don't worry about what anyone thinks. Any consequences for refusing that arranged marriage would be far better than the consequences of going through with it.

I'm on the app, it says [Australia] next to the username of the OP. Just letting you know for future reference. Other than that, I totally agree with you.

On my app it simply says "anonymous" with only a gender symbol next to it.

What sort of utter barbarians force their children into an arranged marriage?
bladedrose 3
Usually ones that live in third world countries, who are poor as dirt. And want a better life for their children's so they arrange a marriage with a wealthier family so their children can have a better life then they had.

Maybe you can get your stuff back and more after a divorce. Not sure how things work in Australia.
