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.

And I bet you welcomed him back without even questioning who the stripper was that he was up all night *******. He'll probably walk all over you for the rest of your life.

does anyone realize that this is just like the plot from That 70s Show!? Donna and Eric liked each other as kids started dating at 16, and then went to get married but eric bailed and then showed up in her room the night after! i call fake on this one!

Thank you for telling everyone this. This episode was on ******* yesterday. I watched it and an hour later i read this. I hate these ***** who make this shit up. Its so damn annoying.

Some lame flowers and candy picked up from the grocery store is nowhere NEAR enough to make up for leaving you at the altar, heartbroken and confused, in front of family and friends. Try, like, a baby tiger with a ribbon around its neck or something. But in all seriousness, if my husband hadn't shown up for our wedding, I simply wouldn't have married him. It's obviously not that important. OP, don't take back your fiance.

Maybe one of them went to grad school or had an important internship. Or perhaps they were saving money to pay for their own wedding. A two year engagement isn't completely ridiculous. My parents were engaged for two years while mother finished her degree, my dad got his masters, and they saved money to pay for the wedding themselves.

I would have been devastated. Just picturing my husband not showing up at my wedding absolutely kills. If you're going to take him back, better make him catch a fallen star before you do. Seriously. That requires some big-time sucking up.

WRONG! 'Yesterday' was the DATE you set for your wedding. Wedding DAY did NOT happen. He must have had a really lame excuse for you to be posting this here. I don't really care how long you liked, dated, etc... His reason for skipping out is what makes it a FML or not. And since you didn't post that, I gotta deduce you deserved it and aren't admiting it. Just another self-centered princess douche.
