Today, my ex came back into my life, professing his love and begging for another chance. This begging act ended rather suddenly once he remembered I have a daughter. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I came back home from an errand and found my ex in bed, embracing my 20 year-old daughter. They said that nothing has been going on. Glad he's an ex. FML
Today, after several years spent hung up on my ex, I was finally moving on. I was on a date with my new boyfriend when my ex walked past us. He broke down crying, got on his knees, and begged me to come back. FML
Today, my ex-husband introduced our daughter to her "new mommy". That's the third time this year. FML
Today, I took my kids to the park. I saw my daughter playing with a kid who looked familiar. Turns out he was my ex’s son, whom I haven’t seen in years. I thought it was cute they played so well together, until my ex’s new girlfriend came over, screaming that I was trying to use my kid to get to her man. FML
Today, I was picking up my daughter from my ex-husband's house and his new girlfriend was there. I said to my daughter that it was time to leave and she clung to his girlfriend and said, "Mommy, I don't want to leave." She wasn't talking to me. FML
Today, my ex started dating the girl he kept telling me not to worry about. We broke up three hours ago. FML
Today, I found out that my ex-girlfriend, the girl I completely love, is now dating my father. She tried giving me the, "I know I'm not your mother…" speech. FML
Today, my ex-wife confessed to me that she's in love with my father and broke down crying because he's never approved of her. FML
Today, I broke my own no contact rule with my ex, begging him to come back. He simply replied, "Stop begging. It's over." FML
Today I gently tried to break the news to my now ex-fiance's daughter that her Daddy and I weren't going to get married after all (he cheated), but that I still loved her with all my heart. She responded by punching me in the face. FML

How the hell did he manage to forget about that though? 'Oh, I miss her, I can't live my life without her, I can't wait until we move in together and have child- ah damn it, I KNEW I was forgetting about something!'

At least you won't have to worry about him again! Unless he forgets again...

What a douche. Sounds like you dodged a bullet.

I assumed it was her daughter from a relationship after him, seeing as she said "I have a daughter" and not "I had his daughter".

Well yeah, it's pretty clear it's not HIS kid, or OP would've written 'we have a daughter'. However, he clearly knew about the child already or he would've found out about it, not remembered. So... how the hell do you forget about that? Or did he assume she'd somehow gotten rid of her daughter by now? 'Oh man - you STILL have that thing? I mean, how long do those things LIVE?! You should really think about giving it to a shelter, this is getting ridiculous.'

Another reason to keep him on the "nope" list. He either loves all of you or not at all.

Your daughter saved you a lot of trouble with just her existence. You deserve better anyway.

Your life doesn't suck. You just need a real man that's all. Those aren't easy to find, but worth he wait ;) hang in there. This is coming from a single mom in her 20s who's been single for 7 years.

He obviously doesn't care and love you that much if he forgot you had a kid. Seriously, who does that?
