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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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

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.

Why does this suck for you? This sounds like a FHL, unless you're unhappy in your marriage then this hardly effects you

It's awkward and pretty creepy to find out someone has been obsessed with you for 12 years, regardless of the fact you obviously moved on and have your own life.

started out as a romance movie ended as an awkward situation.

My uncle was married to his second wife for 6 or 7 years, then they got divorced. She remarried, they've been together for 15 years and have had 3 kids together and since her ex still isn't over her.

I hope your exact retort to him was "I am a married mother of two."

This seems to be his FML, not yours. You chose marriage and motherhood with someone else, don't lament that now just because some guy with issues never moved on.

Sounds more like a FHL, his life sounds worse than yours.

Maybe he's just in a bad place right now that has made him look back at the last 12 years as him coping without you. Some people like to cling to the past for reasons why things are currently shitty instead of facing up to the present! Either way it isn't your responsibility.
