Today, I was talking to a colleague about love. He told me he's given up on love because things ended badly with a previous girl. I said, "Maybe it wasn't meant to be, and she wasn't the one." He then said the reason it didn't work out was because she killed herself. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I talked to a girl on the phone who had previously told me her last relationship "ended very badly." I said, "So let me guess, the jerk cheated on you?" She paused for a few moments and finally replied, "No, he died in a motorcycle accident." FML
Today, I was texting my friend. He has a history of depression, which we were talking about, and somehow, he turned the conversation to, "If we ever broke up, I would kill myself." I didn't even know we were even going out. FML
Today, during a text conversation with a girl I've been trying to get with, she complained about how crummy of a day she was having. I told her it couldn't be as bad as she thought, and she would probably get it over it soon. Then she told me she had found out her cousin had been murdered. FML
Today, after many, many attempts to get her out of my life, the girl that is stalking me told me that she loves me and our love can only be ended by her killing either herself or me. FML
Today, I found out the Tinder girl I'd ghosted after going on a date with her committed suicide. They came to me for answers because I was the last known person that ever talked to her. FML
Today, I found out that the woman I could fall in love with is dating a friend of mine. I think I will end up alone, and die alone. FML
Today, a guy I had developed feelings for broke things off with me, giving me a version of the “it’s not you, it’s me” line. This was the first person I had liked/wanted to date in almost 8 years. I think I’m destined to be alone. FML
Today, I fell in love with a girl who used to love me. She doesn't anymore. FML
Today, I had a date with a woman I had been talking to for a month. We hit it off, the date went fantastic, and we agreed to see each other again. Fast forward a few hours and I'm told she decided to pursue someone else, equates it to "bad timing", but wants to be friends. If not for bad luck, I'd have no luck. FML
Today, the guy I have been in love with for years decided to tell me all about his women problems and how he can't find someone. After telling him I loved him he responds, "do you know if anyone else does?" FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Don't feel bad op, you didn't know and hopefully he understood that.

OP, there's no way you have possibly known that. Apologize and maybe take him out to a nice lunch.

First of all, there was no way you could have known that. Second of all, you're not wrong.

Your comment was still valid. The right person would have stayed with him and not killed herself. I hope he can grow to realise that one bad experience doesn't mean there can't be good ones ahead.

I hate the stigma behind mental illness! Would you say the same thing if she would have died of cancer?

Suicide isn't mental illness. It can be a result but nothing here indicates it.

No because you can treat one of them

How were you supposed to know that? Don't be too hard on yourself. You showed that you cared and that's what matters.

Obviously she wasn't the one

You said the most neutral inoffensive thing you could. You did well OP.

OP, there is most likely no way you could of know about this, so you shouldn't feel bad. That is unless he told everyone when it happened.

Well at least now you know it wasn't meant to be...

Well damn, I wasn't expecting that one. But you also didn't know that so its not your fault, OP!

Sadly, I can say this happened to me too. I know how you feel homes.
