Today, my boyfriend proposed. Two hours later I get a text from my ex announcing he has just been diagnosed with chlamydia. I now have to explain this to my fiancé. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Same thing different taste
The situation
Today, I was talking to my situationship when he dropped the bomb that he wanted to break up, and that he'd tested positive for chlamydia. FML
A Different Kind of Tension
Today, I got a text from a guy I hooked up with once before my current boyfriend. The guy told me he has chlamydia, and I should probably get tested. I had to call my boyfriend to explain what happened and tell him to get tested. I'm meeting his family this weekend at his sister's wedding. FML
Today, my birthday, was going great until my boyfriend received a text from a girl saying he gave her chlamydia. Now I have no boyfriend, but at least I have the chlamydia keeping me company. FML
Wrap it up
Today, I found out that my boyfriend cheated on me by testing myself for STIs/STDs and got a positive result for chlamydia. FML
STI TMI
Today, at my physical, I found out that my ex-boyfriend who broke up with me 4 months ago was not only cheating on me, but had also manage to catch chlamydia and give it to me. I'm now dating someone else, so I had to explain that I've had chlamydia for 4 months without knowing, and he should probably get tested. FML
Today, while with my new boyfriend, my ex called to tell me I needed to go to the doctor to get checked out. He had gotten an STD from the girl he cheated on me with. FML
Today, I confessed my feelings to the guy I've been seeing. He confessed that he gave me chlamydia. FML
Cheers
Today, my Christmas present from my boyfriend was chlamydia. FML
Because of him
Today, I broke up with my boyfriend. I also found out I have an STD. I was clean before we dated. FML
Hold on…
Today, while having sex with my boyfriend, my phone rang. We continued to have sex while I took the call. It was my gyno calling to tell me that I tested positive for chlamydia and that I needed to tell my partner. Yeah, sex ended real quick. FML

1) He's your ex 2) He has an STD 3) He could have given it to you while you were together It seems pretty damned easy to explain unless I'm missing a step... 4) You're still sleeping with him

I believe that is his engagement present to you

That's sweet.

Read the FML, her ex has the STD, not his.
evilplatypus 39
I believe that 1 is saying that the STD is the ex's wedding present to OP

Better than getting herpes! Chlamydia isn't permanent so it's all good

If she's been in a relationship long enough to get married, is there not a good chance that the ex contracted chlamydia well after her relationship with him? I'd get tested before telling the fiancé.
Paco_el_Taco 17
Unless you are allergic to pennaciloan (sp) then you're outta luck.

I had the same thought 39. This info cold be completely irrelevant.
iGrassYourSister 6
she was cheating on her boyfriend with her ex! girls nowadays...
spazz666 18
But if the ex contracted after they were together, why would he be texting her to tell her?
evilplatypus 39
53 - if the ex just got tested for it, he might have no idea when he initially got it

I highly recommend getting tested before telling your fiancé. It's one of those "don't plant the seed" situations. If your clean, no need to start the fight (there's alway a fight) and if your not clean.... Good luck.
nahgemoohc 17
Don't take it personally op! Maybe your ex was just trying to be civic minded by telling everyone he slept with that he has chlamydia so that they too could get checked:)

Stds are deal breakers. I could never marry or date anyone who had an std. Keep your bugs to yourself.
AssTard 15
I'm not trying to be a judgmental asshole, but this goes to show you that you should only have sex with your husband or wife.
coderedninja 6
You got that wrong.
ifknh8usernames 7
If it's possible that news of your engagement got around to your ex within a couple of hours then maybe he's just saying that out of spite and jealousy?

Good luck you cheating ****

Well, it is her ex, not just some random stranger she had sex with

Abstinence is the key!

What if you're disappointed when you finally have sex with the guy you marry? "Gotta take the car for a test drive before you buy it".

JoshTheMaggot 8
Oh that's right I forgot, marriage protects you from stds
Awsumuzzie 12
I don't see why this comment is being attacked. Because she wants to wait until she gets married? She's 14 and saying this, this is refreshing, and congrats to her. How can she be disappointed with sex from her husband if it's going to be the only sex she experiences? I'm sure she'll talk to her husband about pleasure, like any couple do. As far as STD's go, I'm sure she'll know her husband well enough before they get married to find out if he has anything.
auriane_fml 19
Did anyone else notice that she is only 14. That is probably the reason why she doesn't know that you can use protection to avoid std's. I also hope that you have another reason for staying a virgin until your married besides this one, because that reason is kind of stupid. @19. My guess would be that it's "cool" to type like that.
MCRaddict15 15
That's a good goal at age 14. Might change your mind later on in life, but that's all on you.
meihua 19
14 year olds are not that ignorant or sheltered, usually
mrszane93 5
She's 14 and people didn't realize this because it's a "17 and older" app!
cathyfang1533 12
I'm 14 and I'm also waiting until marriage to have sex. It's not because I don't know about safe sex, I just chose to abstain from sex. It's a personal thing and it has nothing to do with others. I'm not going to call you a **** if you think otherwise so don't call me a prude :P
Spiral_Thoughts 19
She's not just typing with misplaced capital letters, people! She's typing out an acronym! It's our first clue! A.T.W.I.W.I.M.H.S! Now to get out my handy dandy NOTEBOOK! I think it means: Attention Teamsters With Infected Wieners, I Might Hit Someone! . . . But what does it mean? I guess we need to look for more clues!
alex1432 9
no
DontModMeDammit 10
No one cares, this is just as annoying as when people preach religion or political views, just stfu and let people live their lives.
Spiral_Thoughts 19
By the way, I do support your pledge of abstinence, Tammie, but I don't think it fair to state it in the manner that you did. :)
auriane_fml 19
@ 98 I never called her a prude or told her that staying a virgin until you're married is wrong. I don't think that anyone did that. I was just saying that she is only 14 years old. I only mentioned her age, because there are still alot of 14 year olds who don't know about safe sex. The other reason I mentioned it is, because alot can change when you get older. You also shouldn't assume things. According to your logic you think that i'm a ****, because I don't agree with you. I hate to dissapoint you there, but I'm also a virgin and planning to stay one untill i get married. I know alot of people who aren't virgins anymore, but that doesn't make the *****. To each his own.

biggestfan23 11
Oh lol I didn't check her profile
BeaterOfTheDrums 15
Search it In google images. That should tell you all you need to know.
Drigr 9
17, Thats why FML does (or should) have an age limit...
MindFreakazoid 10
I found out what it is...thanks... That's really awful though!
Rowdey 10
Didn't it used to? Like back in its heyday?
xStaciexLynnx 15
When you download the app a message comes up about inappropriate content and you have to confirm that you're 18.
OhDearBetrayal 25
Yeah and it's not like anyone could just press the button confirming they're 18 without actually being 18! That would be unrealistic. We all know that ninjas attack when lies are made.
onlychildFTW 34
52- it's 17
Shrike 24
You do realize FML isn't an app, right? It's 13 years old for the website, 17 to download pretty much any app on iTunes.
starflyer59 17
I'm not on iTunes and I have the app. good rule of thumb: don't speak if you don't know what you're talking about.

Jesus should probably take the wheel on this one.

Maybe OPs ex had sex with another girl and got it and was diagnosed
ManBroSkiGirl 10
I love that movie.
ArielTheMermaid 17
Now at your age, you're going to be having a lot of urges. You're gonna want to take off your clothes, and touch each other. If you do touch each other, you will get chlamydia. And die. Chlamydia; K-L-A......
SpicyDuck 22
How close were those relationships exactly..and how quickly did you get engaged?!
your_ma 27
Chlamydia is quite often symptom free. You could have it for years and be none the wiser..
LouisianaBob 9
Chlamydia often does not have any visible symptoms for women and can be undetected for months or even years. For men though it can show up in a number of months so if she got a call from an ex it seems there may have been some over lap in the relationships or a rather short courting period.
blanccamaro74 6
My question exactly and also did this girl cheat with ex
westcoastkp 13
YDI for not getting checked before getting in a serious relationship.
downtime 13
She may have been checked, not everything shows up straight away in a screening. Usually you're told to have a second check up 6 months later for this very reason...
gman90210 18
Well she be giving it out to who else knows she should tell her fiancé about her having it. Unless she is going into this marriage lying and keeping secrets from her soon to be husband.
jwebster 8
Why did you agree to marry someone so soon after sleeping with an ex? YDI. That disease's incubation isn't long enough for a stable relationship to form in between exposure and diagnosis.
gemsweater 4
Sometimes chlamydia does not show any of it traits. You do not feel sick, nothing, but the infection may prolong inside of your body making you sterile without you ever knowing it. So the ex's confession tells you absolutely nothing about how long since they had sex. Could be even years.
downtime 13
75, I think your doctor may be misinformed. More commonly showing symptoms - yes, this doesn't mean the majority of men will show symptoms. This is simply an unfortunate circumstance, why the hell are there so many people saying she deserves it?
Harpy20 24
Well he obviously got it from an ex before OP, seeing as he's JUST NOW calling her because he himself just found out. So she would have had it during the duration of their relationship as well as her current relationship. So clearly there were no symptoms.
DocBastard 40
1) He's your ex 2) He has an STD 3) He could have given it to you while you were together It seems pretty damned easy to explain unless I'm missing a step... 4) You're still sleeping with him
your_ma 27
It's easy to explain and I'm sure her fiancé will be fine with it. Still it's not a fun conversation to have, "Hey babe you know how you gave me a diamond? Well I might have given you an STI!!" hence the FML..
igive 29
i wouldn't be fine with it.
thatKidzmOm 10
If he truly loves her, and she wasn't cheating on him, they should be able to work through it together. A strong commitment to someone can withstand this situation...as long as it was contracted before the relationship started.
blcksocks 19
I think her fiancé would be more worried that she might also have chlamydia and might have passed it to him. "When" or "how" she got the disease (if it turns out she did) wouldn't be the first of his worries. So yes, it's a difficult conversation to have.
downtime 13
Easily explained, not easily received.
iHeartRKO 5
183-- I see what you did there
music_woman1 11
Get yourself checked and tell your fiancé, there is no need for an explanation - if you caught it, it was from when you and your ex were together. The only problem I see is if you've told your fiancé that you're a virgin
TheSnakeDoctor20 17
23- they could also be sleeping together, you can't assume anything.
TheSnakeDoctor20 17
Or 73, you could assume that she's still sleeping with her ex and caught it from him.
BeThePanda 1
Seriously, 62? Don't assume? What do you think you're doing? You are ASSUMING she's a cheater.
TheSnakeDoctor20 17
161- I was doing that because of 73's comment...
283leis 8
Or he got it before that and just got an inspection/appointment.
downtime 13
Reality check people, men don't always show symptoms, and if the last time he was tested was back before they were together and this was found through a random screening he needs to tell all potential carriers. This means she gets notified by default. It doesn't mean she gave it to him, it doesn't mean he gave it to her, it means they're doing the right thing by ensuring the infection doesn't spread. ******* hell, its not complicated.
nicrulezdood 5
Chalmydia is very curable. Its an STI, go to the doctor.
lucyinthesky420 10
Oh man, I thought chlamydia was an imaginary majestic animal, not an STI..
SqueakyChipmunk 22
I don't see the problem, unless op is still sleeping with her ex, or JUST broke up with her ex for a guy who immediately proposed.
