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.

Maybe ur family should see this as a sign that you need to pick your own husband. One that most likely won't leave you penniless and humiliated.

At first I thought, "Wow, whoever vetted this guy did a terrible job! OP was stuck doing her own vetting." Then I wondered if the situation might be worse. Does OP's family owe somebody, and is trying to pay them off with OP as bride for this scumbag of a husband-to-be? Bad vetting or payoff, this stinks. Hope OP can get authorities (family, religious, cultural, and/or legal) on her side and get out of this nightmare arrangement.

No! That's horrible! You should have your say in who you marry. Don't stand for this!

Talk to your parents and file a police report against the man. Arranged or not, you should not be marrying a man that enjoys robbing people in the street and if your parents had any sense, they would agree and contact his parents.

Since you are in a first world country where customs and beliefs hardly influence society, then say **** you to your parents and don't go through with it. You have your own right to control your life and marry who you please
