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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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.

An arranged marriage in my culture just means parents introducing their son to a girl they think is appropriate for him with the girls parents acceptance. But that's all the guy and girl would take it from there, they choose to get to know each other or not. It's more like a blind date the first time.

Arranged marriages is a cultural thing not a religious thing. Get your facts straight.

If you live in Australia, and you are in an arranged engagement, are you aboriginal? If so, go to your Tribal mothers and tell them what's happened; they'll find you a better husband.

Just realized- if it is any other religious background, go to the women in charge. Like in Islam, talk to the imam's wife, mother or sisters. In the case of East Indian religion, find the women who worship Shiva's wife... Don't let this bully become your daily nightmare.

Oh gosh, OP, if you have a choice or anything, get away from there and get a job or better yet if you have money saved up go to college...first of all arranged marriages will probably (and definitely in this case) not bring happiness and it seems like the guy you're going to "marry" is someone to definitely stay away from. Good luck.

One that sucks and two you shouldn't be forced to have an arranged marriage. This isn't the enchanted forest! You should marry who you love.

Run. Run from the obvious ass that you are being arranged to marry and run from the crap family that doesn't care about you enough to let you make your own choices. Seriously, you should be picking up your purse and walking out the door 3 seconds after you read this. RUN NOW!
