Today, I talked to my high school sweetheart after 12 years. He confessed that he's been single ever since we broke up, never got over me, and that to this day he loves me dearly. I'm a married mother of two. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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 found out the guy I had a huge crush on back in college, and still think of every day, actually did like me back. Except I’ve been married for nearly 8 years to someone else. FML
Today, after admitting he had feelings for me, my crush returned from out of town. He'd said that while he was gone, he'd meet people, but only think of me. He came back no longer single. He's known her for 4 days. We've known each other for 6 years. FML
Today, I realized my love life is a mess. I’ve been married for nine years, having an affair with a good friend for over a year, and I'm still in love with the boy who broke my heart years ago, and contacts me only when he is lonely. All three make me happy, but two of them are unable to commit. FML
Today, I went back to my high school for an event with some of my friends, both of which are in relationships. Whilst there we saw our favorite teacher, who hugged us and said, "I heard you have a boyfriend! And so do you!" And then she turned to me and said, "And... And you're doing great things!" FML
Today, I realized I'm very much in love with my old boyfriend. I got married to someone else a few months ago, who I also very much love. FML
Today, I got a message from my ex saying how sorry he was for everything he did. He also said that if he wasn't getting married and having a kid we could still be together. We broke up a year ago. FML
Today, after a year and half of being single, I was asked out on a date. I was asked by a married man. FML
Today, my longtime coworker confessed that she's always been in love with me, and now that I'm finally single again she wants to start a relationship. The reason I'm "finally single again" is because my wife (who I had been with for 27 years) died last week. FML
Today, after two months of being apart from my wife of five years, who'd returned to Panama to deal with a family issue, she innocently slips into conversation that she’s been hanging out with her high school boyfriend. When challenged, she responded, “You get to see me all the time!” FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

12 years? He has issues. You probably dodged a bullet because I can see him getting very clingy very fast if you two were still together.

Then **** him
w0nderwh4t 14
i think he meant "don't actually **** him, but **** him" like stop talking to him

This could go very wrong if OP interprets this comment differently.

Yep. Thought you guys would get the joke lol

The real question is are you happy with your husband... and if you are who cares about this guy. He's too late

I don't think the FML here is that OP lost an opportunity to be with her high school sweetheart or that she's even thinking about him. I think the FML is that her high school sweetheart is creepy and borderline obsessed with her.

I agree with #3. Are you happy? Because this FML can be interpreted differently. The way it's worded sounds like he confessed to you and now you're bummed because you're married with children.

Just because he didn't get over her doesn't mean he's creepy, by the sounds of it he kept his distance and didn't actually on the fact so I see nothing wrong with it

Exact. I can't tell if the fml is for the guy being alone, for him being creepy (does not sound like it because they had no contact till this moment) or if it is for her not being in a position to have him back.

Don't let him get into your head!

I was thinking the same thing. If he isn't over her after 12 years, yet never bothered to stay in touch either directly or through others, he has deep-rooted issues with the concept of relationships, with communication and generally himself as a person. OP should remember why they broke up in the first place. Those issues clearly haven't gotten any better.

Well for him, that ship sailed.

He probably has a shrine of you, OP. Have you noticed any missing articles of clothing or your hairbrush mysteriously cleaned of all hair lately?
Rockinroyaltyx3 21
Maybe he cuts locks of her hair without her knowing. Or collects her used gum and puts all of them together in the shape of her head in the back of his closet... Just like Helga from "Hey Arnold!".

Comment moderated for rule-breaking.
He was probably lying though.

You sound like a guy that probably talks about "the friend zone" and "bitches these days" all the time. xD
xDrakeNinja 12
Wow. He was just feeling sympathetic towards him.... Bitches these days.... You sound like those hoes who friendzone guys for no good reason... JK
Faby96 13
#17 “hoes who friendzone guys for no good reason" so “I don't like you" is not a good reason? I didn't know I was obligated to sleep with/date a guy just because he likes me, I guess you are a “good guy" right?

I think #17 was being sarcastic but I don't know
hyperreader 15
I suppose that the jk in the end isn't subtle enough.
