Today, I noticed my ex was feeling down. We ended things on good terms and I've been wanting to start things up again, so I figured I'd bring him dinner to cheer him up and maybe hang out. Looks like he and his one night stand get to eat my home cooked food while I go home to Netflix. FML
DramaticEmily tells us more.
Hey guys, OP here :) Maybe I should clear some things up. I did tell him I was coming over with dinner, he didn't tell me he had someone over. He wasn't being rude about it, just didn't cross his mind. He's sort of oblivious like that. And yes, I'm still really into him and from when we talked last, I thought the feeling was mutual, but I didn't really expect much to come from this. Wishful thinking was all, really. I guess I was right to think nothing would come from it, too. Oh well, time to move on, I suppose :) Your comments are all cracking me up, though!

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Why'd you leave the food? I wouldn't have.

exactly! i'd have taken my nice food with me. on second thoughts, maybe that's why i don't go to my ex's house anymore. hmmm.

Her secret intentions were to get back together get her with him. If she had taken the food back, she would have looked like a douchebag. Which she would have been

#28 I don't think she would have been a douchebag for taking her food back. I probably would have. I mean she cooled it for him, not for him and his one night stand.

I probably should've taken it with me, but by the time I noticed his "little friend," he already had it in his hands and I'm not assertive enough to demand it back. Plus, after ending things on good enough terms to stay as close as we are, I didn't want to make a fuss about it. But I did miss my food as I was eating McDonald's and watching Netflix :)

never expect an ex situation to end well, no matter the terms. if you split it was probably for a good reason. don't waste time trying to re kindle a dying flame OP. I've done it, not worth the trouble.

Well this goes to show that you're a nice person and he's just an ass.

How is he an ass? If they are broken up, he is free to do whatever he pleases. The OP made it seem like she went over unannounced, as a sort of surprise, so it isn't like he deliberately did it to make her feel bad. OP also states that they left off on good terms. I hate generic comments like these. Did you even read the FML?

You did say ex... I agree with calling next time. Then you could bring enough for three.

You should've asked him if you could come over first, but still that was really nice of you.
