Today, I went to the surprise birthday party of an ex I still love, though I'm the one who ended things. I walked in in time to see her screaming "Yes" to her kneeling boyfriend, her parents crying and applauding, and her brothers patting him on the back. FML

Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.

Today, I went to my boyfriend's house, intending to break up with him. Instead, I was greeted by his whole family throwing me a surprise party. I had to sit and listen to his whole family talk about what a great couple we are and how we're going to last forever. FML
Today, I went to a party and saw my current boyfriend making out with my ex-boyfriend. FML

Today, I surprised my girlfriend with roses. She surprised me by getting back together with her ex. FML

Today, I threw an elaborate surprise birthday party for my boyfriend of four years. He thought we were going to a quiet dinner but when we arrived, thirty of his friends jumped out and surprised him. Instead of kissing me to thank me, he broke up with me because of how easily I had lied to him. FML

YDI for leaving her in the first place. If you really loved her, you would have kept her!

Who said he broke her heart? She may have been a major bitch, and he ended it while still being in love with her.

How long ago did you break up?! If she's already marrying him, mightn't last too long. ;)

I bet you're one of those people who just wants what they can't have. You clearly didn't love her when you were together or you wouldn't have broken up with her. Sometimes people idolize others when relationships end. I think it's why a lot of people don't stay in contact with an ex...they kinda forget that there was a reason why they broke up which leads to heartache. Think about whatever your reason was, and use it to get over her.

I'm perverted. I thought something sexual was happening here, that then resulted in her parents crying and cheering and brothers patting him on the back. Thankfully it wasn't, or this would have been the most disgusting FML ever.

That is so sad and painful. But, you should not have given up.
