Today, my ex showed up at my door with chocolates and flowers. I've liked him since I was 13, starting dating him when I was 15. He proposed when I was 22. I am now 24, and yesterday was our wedding day. He didn't show. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my ex-girlfriend proposed to me, at my wedding. FML
Today, my long-term boyfriend took me to my favorite restaurant. After the main course, he knelt down and finally proposed to me. I was so happy, I almost cried. Until an old woman came over and said I was way too old for him. I'm three years younger than my fiancé. 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, my family surprised me for my birthday by showing up with a chocolate cake and my ex-boyfriend from back home. They all forgot I'm allergic to chocolate, that I broke up with him about a year ago, and that he’s been trying to win me back ever since. FML
Today, a guy that I've been friends with for almost 20 years, and for whom I have never shown even the slightest bit of romantic interest in, confessed his love for me. In front of everyone we know, at mine and my fiancé's engagement party. FML
Today, my boyfriend brought me home flowers and candy for the first time in our one-year relationship. Thinking he was going to finally propose, I got excited. I asked why he was being so sweet, and he responded with, "I thought you'd take the breakup better this way." FML
Today, an ex-boyfriend of mine came to the jewelry store I work at to pick out an engagement ring for his girlfriend. The same guy who just a few months earlier ended our 8-year relationship because I wanted marriage and he didn't. FML
Today, at my ex's wedding, I had to listen to his joyful recounting of how he met his bride and how they fell instantly in love and he knew she was perfect for him. All this happened while we were still dating. FML
Today, my ex-boyfriend announced he was engaged. We broke up last night. FML
Today, I got proposed to. I have been dating my boyfriend for 3 years and we have 2 kids. It was perfect, except it was my ex-boyfriend who proposed to me. FML

he's not really your ex. he's just your fiancee that forgot to marry you.

He probably got cold feet. A lot of grooms do.

How does anyone interpret this as a 'love story'? He is a total idiot. And if you're smart, he's staying your ex.

When I see stories like this, all I can think about is how unlucky you are and how utterly STUPID the groom is. Unless he got in a car accident or there was a tragedy involving his loved ones that he needed to see right away, there's no excuse whatsoever. After all that planning, all that hard work, all those people who took the time to show up... God, I would have never spoken to him again unless he had a real excuse if I was you. FYL

I agree. This the most awful kind of FML there is. I hope you two work things out and that he had a legitimate reason for not being there.

You know, I can see this story being made into a movie. Girl falls in love at 13, dates him at 15, they've been together ever since they were allowed to date, at 22 she gets proposed to. After 2 years of planning the wedding, at 24, the groom just doesn't show up. FYL OP!

That really sucks. He would have A LOT of explaining to do, and he'd have to do more than bring you some flowers and chocolate for missing your wedding. To all the people saying "Oh he got cold feet so it's okay", no it's not okay. People get engaged and get married a few months later, for the most part, and they go through at least one rehearsal and such. If he really loved her and got nervous to be getting married to her, it would have been glaringly obvious the moment they did the rehearsal and he should have said something then. Or he should have been a man and gone through with it anyway. Either way, he deserves a good hard kick.

I always needed a girl that could wait for me. They are rare.
