Today, my boyfriend rekindled the romance with his ex, at my 21st birthday party. One of the few reasons I'd invited her was to show that I trusted him, and I no longer felt threatened by their continued friendship. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I went to an old boyfriend's birthday party. An annoying friend suggested that we should try dating again. We were both with our new partners, who were standing nearby when she said that. FML
Today, I went to a party and saw my current boyfriend making out with my ex-boyfriend. FML
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
Today, I was invited out to a date by my ex-boyfriend. He seemed really excited to reconnect and kept holding my hand and complimenting how I looked. Out of nowhere a girl runs up to him screaming. It was his current girlfriend, he was using me to make her jealous. FML
Today, It was my fiancé's 21st birthday party. It ended with him too drunk to walk and wailing about how much he misses an ex girlfriend of his that he dumped 4 years ago. FML
Today, in the middle of our one year anniversary dinner, my boyfriend's ex-girlfriend showed up declaring her love for him. They left together and I had to take the bus home. FML
Today, I was meeting my husband's old friends at his 20 year high school reunion. He introduced me as his 'friend from work' to his ex girlfriend. FML
Today, I was invited to a party to celebrate my ex-fiancée's recent engagement. The party is at work, because my ex is also my boss. Her new fiancée is some guy she met while on a "business trip" that happened while we were still engaged. FML
Today, my ex, for whom I still have feelings, introduced me to his new girlfriend. To make things "less awkward," he invited a mutual friend of ours. However, the last time I'd seen this friend, it was a week after my ex and I had broke up, and we hooked up. Awkward doesn't cover it. FML
Today, I was at a party and spent the whole night bragging to my friends about how I thought this girl was totally into me. As we were leaving, we saw the same girl making out with my ex. FML

Yikes that's rough, best of luck in the future. We don't all do things like this.

+1. There ARE still decent people in the world. I will rarely, if ever, continue communication with a serious ex, much less be friends with her. I don't understand why people think you can go from the feeling of being soulmates and in love to being platonic friends without those feelings coming back. They will, every time. Period.

I'm sorry but you deserved this..... WHY on earth would you invite her to your party? The issue of trust isn't a good enough reason. He should have turned down the offer of her being there. He obviously wanted this to happen. What if the tables were turned, would you want your ex invited? I would hope not. Well, Happy 21st! And your present? The chance to start a new relationship with a new guy. Next time, leave the exes out of it....

I have to agree. This seems kind of childish. In a situation like this, if they had been broken up long enough there would be no reason for either party to be insecure. What does OP have to prove? Don't invite your partners ex, to prove something! Invite her if your friends.

There is very little that hurts as much as showing that kind of trust and then being betrayed. I've been there and it sucks. You'll find someone better though.

I guess your birthday present was the gift of wisdom...and the ability to legally buy and drink all the alcohol it takes to drown your regret over your stupidity. Happy Birthday!! Cheers!

Drowning your regret is not wisdom #30.

I agree. Wisdom is not getting your stupid ass in the position to have to drown your sorrows. Drinking yourself into oblivion should only be done for fun.

32 - Read the text!. You just made yourself sound stupid by trying to sound smart. P.s - don't try to correct perdix, he clearly has nothing better to do then provide amusement for the rest of us :)

Who invites their boyfriend's ex to anything?

More like what kind of idiot invites their bf/gf's ex to anything? Oh wait... I answered my own question.
