Today, I attended my college roommate's wedding. We were best friends for 4 years, but have only talked occasionally since graduation. I was looking forward to meeting her new husband, having heard so much about him during our conversations. Turns out she forgot to mention he's my ex. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was the best man at my longtime friend’s wedding. I got so into talking about our shared memories over the years that I accidentally called his bride by his ex-girlfriend’s name at the end of my toast. FML
Today, I ran into an old friend of mine at the store. All was going fine, until she showed me her new fiancé. My now ex-boyfriend. FML
Today, while at my ex-girlfriend's wedding, I had to hear her explain how she met the love of her life. This happened in the four years we were dating. FML
Today, I was meeting my husband's old friends at his 20 year high school reunion. He introduced me as his 'friend from work' to his ex girlfriend. FML
Today, my best friend got married. I had introduced her to her now husband, and ever since she has basically acted like I don't exist. FML
Today, I learned who my dad's new fiancée is. Upon meeting her she exclaimed, "My, I haven't seen you in a while!" She's my ex-boyfriend's mom. FML
Today, I found out that my new roommate is dating my ex-boyfriend. FML
Today, at my anniversary party, and in front of all our friends, I accidentally called my husband-to-be by my ex-boyfriend's name. FML
Today, I was visited by a high school friend who lives in another state. She was furious because I got married a few months ago, and she kinda had feelings for me. I had to ask her to leave. Here's the funny thing: she's been married for 4 years and they have a son, and she didn't even invite me to her wedding back then. FML
Today, my old high school mates organised a dinner hangout so that my recent ex, who is part of our group, could introducing her new boyfriend to us. I was late and the only remaining seat available was next to the new boyfriend. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Is anyone else wondering why she didn't receive a wedding invitation, that clearly would have both parties names listed? I guess she probably received a casual invite? But I digress.

If she knew he's your ex (which was probably the case), she's really insensitive for not telling you.

I doubt that's the point.

15- What I meant was, it's been 4 years and he's changed physically, she may not recognize him, therefore its not her fault she didn't know he was her friends ex.

3 Perhaps he's an ex from when they quit being roommates. I think what I said makes sense I just woke up so it may not sorry.

If you're not sure what you typed made sense the reread and evaluate before you hit send!

Ouch. :/ I would just leave the wedding op to not have to face all the emotional drama and memories. Go home, oh, but buy yourself some ice cream. Ice cream fixes everything. :)
Voldy_fml 16
I think ice cream will hardly fix anything in OPs situation. Her life is indeed ******

Oh you and your ice cream lol.... I hope it's that rainbow sherbet :P

You would think people would realize how stupid that is. It doesn't make any sense.

I'm sorry, English is not my primary language. Maybe I should just stop commenting...

I was. My conclusion was that either he has a common name or that she knew him by another name (nickname, maybe) but your suggestion is plausible as well.

Same page. Invitation, read, gasp! As for casual invite to a wedding, maybe if it the groom inviting a bro, but the bride inviting her roommate? Heck no!
EvilPotato 15
Maybe she was to nervous to tell you, and felt that you might stop talking to her if she brought it up? Either way it was still a terrible thing to do.
Krirn 21
EvilPotato, that's a name I haven't seen in a long time, or should I get my prescription checked out?

16 it's been a while since I've been active. I wish it was like the good ol' FML days with the old commentators. Not to say there aren't any good new ones of course.

It's a human thing to do. Your friend married him; they have something real. If you hadn't yet, now's the time to get over him. Move on, and be happy for them.

He is your x anyways. Why you got bothered.

Don't feel bad OP. Shes got your sloppy seconds.

I... honestly don't know what the FML is. Unless the husband is OP's ex-husband, in which case that makes a lot more sense. But ex-boyfriend? I dunno, that doesn't seem too terribly awful to me.

I can see why it would be awkward if it was a non-amicable break-up, but otherwise, yeah, I don't get it. Just be polite and unless your ex is High God-Emperor of the Collossal Jerks, it should go fine.
DjeePee 25
And I honestly don't know why it would make a lot more sense if it was her ex-husband instead of her ex-boyfriend. What's in a name? OP has shared a history with that guy, it sounds like common courtesy to me to tell your friend if you're going to marry their ex, especially when you invite her over for the wedding.
