Today, it finally became clear to me that before you start dating a co-worker, it's best to figure out who they've already dated from work, just in case one of her exes is your new manager. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I found out my ex-boyfriend, who I thought was finally out of my life for good, is now dating my new manager. FML
Today, I found out that the co-worker I have been dating and falling for is the same co-worker that had been spreading rumors about me and getting me in trouble with my boss. FML
Today, I found out my ex is applying for a job at my current company. She may become my boss. FML
Today, my coworker began flirting with the new guy at work and accepted a date with him. I’ve been trying to get with her for months and she'd told me, “Sorry, I don’t fraternize with colleagues.” I called her out on it and she told me, “OK, I’ll spell it out for you: I do fraternize with attractive colleagues.” FML
Today, the girl I work with, who I’ve developed feelings for, started dating another guy at work. She’d told me that she “doesn’t believe” in dating coworkers and she doesn’t “shit where she eats.” FML
Today, I found out that a girl who I really liked at work, who is my manager and with whom I'm friends, and who knows I like her, has been secretly dating someone else who works there for a month, and everyone at work knew except me, because she didn't want to tell me. FML
Today, my colleagues have been trying to play matchmaker between myself and the new girl at the office. I'll admit we share more similarities than differences from what I've learned so far, but I know something my colleagues don't: she's actively pursuing a guy through online dating. FML
Today, I found out my boss hired literally the only person in this town who is an ex-boyfriend. I also work with my current boyfriend. FML
Today, I found out that after working in the same office for five years, I now work with three of my husband's ex-girlfriends. FML
Today, I found out that the coworker I’d been crushing on told me he was gay so I wouldn’t hit on him anymore. Turns out he did that so he could focus on wooing a female coworker of mine. They’re now dating. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Dating coworkers is against a lot of company's policies for a reason.

To muzikmajor. The OP said. One of her exes. Which obviously means he is talking about a girl. Learn to read you moron

This Fml has a typo and it's really annoying me.

The OP, his boss, and his girlfriend are hopfully mature and profetional enough to keep their love life away from work and not let their problem(s) have any effect on the work place.

Don't get your meat where you get your bread, OP...

But office co worker sex is awesome

That's an opinion.

I wish feelings were that simple to control... "I'm terrible in love with one of my coworkers. It feels so great to be with him and he feels the same!" "Wait, did you just said 'coworker'?" "...Yeah?" "Forget about it immediatly." "Oh, m'kay."

Nonsense. I am part of one of 7 couples at my workplace; in fact we are the only couple that hasn't married.

Why date when you can just be friends with benefits?
jayellef 3
I dated my co-worker, and we're getting married this summer. Sometimes it does work out, but as long as you don't start drama, or get other people involved at work in the relationship.

If it doesn't work out you're ******

yahoowizard 16
Just you. OP will be boss about this and make out with her in front of his manager.

END IT. END IT NOW. Kidding, but if your manager is a total ass, then I wouldnt worry too much. Just find out who dumped who..

And if it was amicable, and if the ex isn't still carrying a torch, or is vengeful...
drewnewton 0
she sounds like a ***** just sayin...
olibuur 9
Please, do explain to me how she seems like a *****
greeneyedpothead 10
So if q person has more than one boyfriend/girlfriend, they're immediately ******?? Your logic amazes me.
Ray_of_midnight 23
My girlfriend introduced me to my boyfriend. *shrug*

Clearly, the original commenter is a Harry/Hermione 'shipper, and is applying their logic about Ginny towards everybody else in the world. (I tend to thrive on internet chaos, so this is how I know this.)

You just mad because you probably never even had a girlfriend or boyfriend so get over yourself, you probably don't even know what a ***** is...just saying
Prescott6185p 6
That's the stupidest comment ever, how is she a ***** you stupid dumbass???
BRBsummer 9
How ?
SubaruWRXSTI 16
She was in a, presumably, long term relationship with OP's manager, which she got out of, and now she is in a new relationship. Yep she is definetly a ***** who sleeps with the entire office carelessly.
StoryOfTheYear 15
How did that *cough* work out?
ClassyCommando 13
Oh, it's fine now. Just took some *cough* syrup and drank a lot of water. I was fine the next day.
