Today, on my 21st birthday, a relative asked me if I was still engaged to the love of my life. The man I spent several years with, gave my virginity to, moved across the country for, who promised to marry me before my 21st, and who swore he was over his ex for good. No, but thanks for asking. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my ex, who I'm still love with, told me he's engaged. We weren't together for long because he didn't want a committed relationship. Guess it was just me. 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, 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
Today, my boyfriend asked me to marry him. When I happily told my dad, he kept asking if I'd consider taking back my ex. FML
Today, it's been two years since my fiancé proposed, drunk, and with no ring. Recently, I overheard him on a Zoom call with a work colleague who'd not talked to him since he was with his last girlfriend, who was much more attractive than I am. The colleague asked if they were still together and he lied and said yes. FML
Today, my fiancé told me that after 7 years together, he is no longer in love with me. Shocked and appalled, I asked him if he had anything else to add. "Happy Birthday." FML
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
Today, I celebrated my 21st birthday. My boyfriend of almost 3 years gave me a big pink vibrator. Thinking it was a joke I said: "I won't need this as long as I have you!" His reply: "That's what I wanted to talk to you about." 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 got engaged to my boyfriend of three years. I made the announcement on my status on facebook so people would congratulate me. The only response I got about my engagement was from a girl I knew saying; "Umm, he didn't tell you he was cheating on you for three years with me?" FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I'm sure your relative regretted asking you this and wished they had just asked the real question they wanted to pose in the first place: "Would you please pass the potato salad?" Single at 21? BFD! You've got about 14 good years to find a good man. If you want kids, you should get a bit panicky at around age 35 and then settle for any douchebag that can produce viable sperm.

You're only twenty one, you'll find someone, OP. That really is a rough situation.

well try to get over him and as said before, you'll find another guy, and hopefully the next one will be a real man and keep his word. Next time you see him, maybe you will also rub his face in what he gave up when he called it quits too.

21 and you're worried about marriage? Honey, you're young. Live a little before you chain yourself down!

Agreed!

Maybe being chained is what she's after? Not just everyone has the appropriate eyelets mounted in their walls and roof of their apartment.

I know how you feel. I'm sorry, but I also recently learned that life goes on without him. :-).

I know, right? If I'm still single at 35 and want kids, I'm just going to go used condom hunting out the back of my nearest 7/11.

hahahahhaha ^^ love how you look at things

You could do that, but if you are willing to lower your standards far enough, you should be able find some male humanoid to marry and impregnate you. The wedding pictures might look hideous, but you hopefully will have someone who can contribute financially to your child-rearing project.

LOL! Child rearing project. Key word, project. Keep up the humor my friend :)

True, but I kind of like the idea of a 'lucky dip' baby. Who knows what kind of baby I would find in those condoms!? I like to live life on the edge, man.

LOL this conversation is great

I respect that, HappyGo, but I'll bet you'll end up with the same mouth-breathing, knuckle-dragging Neanderthal ape-child you would have had with the moron you'd settle for without the benefit of his cash infusion and his ability to unclog toilets (even if he is the source of most of the clogs.)

Alright, I'm sold. Where do I sign up for one of those men? Any takers?

Right here fucky. As long as you're over 300 lbs with four or fewer teeth I'm in. I just have to make sure my sweaty body slip'n'slide fetish won't go unfulfilled.

Oh, head down to your nearest college strip around closing time, and I'm sure you'll find some willing young stud who'd just love to brag to his bros about how he banged a cougar. Just buy a few of the pitchers of Miller Lite for their beer pong. Sing along to some "Don't Stop Believing." Select a few prime candidates at the end of the night and order a round or two of Jager bombs. "You're like, on the pill or something, right?" BAM! Baby.
