Today, I got a call from a girl I fell madly in love with 8 years ago. She disappeared from my life with no trace. Turns out she just finalized her divorce, has 2 wild kids, packed on 75 lbs, has $25,000 in debt and is taking meds to keep from going crazy. Now she wants me back. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I received a message on a dating app. It was the girl I'd always wanted to marry, but who disappeared from my life when we were younger. She went on and on about how much she missed me... and how much she wanted me to meet her husband and 3 kids. FML
Today, my girlfriend from high school contacted me, telling me we should hang out some time; I casually agreed. Two hours later she's on my doorstep in tears, wanting me to take her back. She's married with kids. I live four states away and haven't a clue how she found out where I live. FML
Today, the girl who I had a desperate crush on in high school 25 years ago, and who would never go out with me, told me that she was actually head over heels in love with me, but was so cripplingly shy that she couldn't say yes. She's divorced now. I'm married. FML
Today, I met up with my 'on again, off again' girlfriend of 4 years that I'm still madly in love with. We've been broken up for a few months and she's been dating someone else. We talked about possibly trying things again. When I got home, I found out she's engaged. FML
Today, my ex, whom I haven't seen in two years, contacted me. She was great company back in the day, wild in bed, the most attractive person I've ever dated, and totally uninterested in a serious relationship. She wants me to fix her computer. FML
Today, after I got reacquainted with an old friend with whom it'd been 12 years since we last spoke, both divorced, with kids, we started talking, start feeling things for each other. We'd both agreed to take things slow. We spend an amazing weekend together, made plans to spend my birthday together, and then I was ghosted. FML
Today, it's been a year since the girl I'm madly in love with completely cut off all communication with me. She called me crying a year ago, saying she couldn't do the long-distance, unaware I was planning on moving closer to her. Not once has she reached out, and has a girlfriend now. I think about her every night. FML
Today, after seven months apart, I agreed to meet with my ex, wondering if he'd changed. He sure did. He lost a ton of weight and picked up several new hobbies. He also picked up a 23 year-old new girlfriend. She's slimmer and prettier than I'll ever be. I threw my drink in his face and left in tears. FML
Today, I fell in love with a girl who used to love me. She doesn't anymore. FML
Today, I found out my ex had been writing about our relationship to Postsecret. Apparently, she'd been sorry and wanted me back if I still loved her. I have absolutely no idea what she's talking about. I left after 8 months of unreturned texts, calls, emails, and meet-ups. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Dude, take it from me, a magnet for crazy women. This is not an FML. You know her life is toatally ****** and you know it right up front. Unless one of the kids is yours, you are in the clear. Just tell her to take a hike. Problem solved.

This is a joke, right? There's no way this is an FML. You should be so happy she left your life!

Everyone here is mean and shallow, including the OP. Sure, being crazy and having two wild kids sucks, but who cares if she's not thin anymore? And the average student has much more debt than that.

#98, The majority of people here MIGHT be mean and shallow, but seriously not everyone here is. Also he might have actually LOVED her and now seeing her like that means a person he cared about/loved even if it was a long time ago is in a shitty life, so you know.. on the side note, I think you should just tell her no and run away, unless like some others said 'unless one of the kids is yours, say no.' #101 - lol :D

X__x'' meant #102, but 101 is still funny. :D

I'm going to assume that OP is a good man with a stable life who treats girls in his life well and with respect. Possibly OP could still have feelings for her despite her conditions, which we would call true love. But the woman who once looked down on you will ALWAYS look down on you. She might go OMG YOU ARE THE GREATEST GUY EVER WHY DIDNT I SEE IT BEFORE but the minute she realizes that OP "would love her no matter what", she would start treating him like doormat again. Guess what? Women like this deserve every bit of screwed up lives they end up with.

LOL This sounds exactly like my boyfriend's ex-wife... Time frame is right on too. My advice is to change your phone number and move far, far away if she knows where you live. There's probably a very good reason why her ex-husband left her fat, crazy ass and I guarantee you don't want any part of that shit!

Then I guess the meds aren't doing their job..
