Today, the boy who loved me and left me literally became the poster boy for my college. His picture is on the home page of the college website and on a banner in the cafeteria where I eat every day. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I learned that there's a billboard-sized photo of me and my ex hanging in the airport advertising my college. Travelers from all over the world have now seen me smiling at graduation with the guy who cheated on me after 3 years together. FML
Today, I ran into my ex-girlfriend, the love of my life. Actually I ran into a billboard for her college, where apparently she is the new "poster girl" for their advertising campaign. I have now seen her on 2 billboards, a newspaper ad and a bus. FML
Today, my school's yearbook awarded "Cutest Couple" to my boyfriend and me. We broke up yesterday. FML
Today, I ran into my ex-boyfriend on campus. Upset, I decided to go to McDonald's to eat my painful memories away. While in the drive-thru line, I realized my ex was right in front of me. It looked like I'd followed him all the way from campus. He thinks I'm a stalker now. FML
Today, I ended things with my hometown, on-and-off-again ex-boyfriend. I leave for college soon and felt other things took priority over him (selfish, I know). I met practically every single one of his family members in the street, heard his name being screamed in a department store, and had an overall shitty day. FML
Today, my boyfriend introduced me to his best friend. Who just so happened to be the guy who made my high school years a living hell. FML
Today, looking on the internet, I came across my ex's Facebook page. Most of the posts were about me, and his profile picture was still of me and him. We broke up over a year ago. FML
Today, we had a school reunion. The guy who bullied me throughout my high school career is now rich and married. I'm broke and single, and he specifically came up to me to point it out. FML
Today, riding the bus home from my domestic violence group therapy, I saw a billboard with the face of my ex-boyfriend’s new girlfriend on it. FML
Today, the girl my boyfriend cheated on me with posted pics of them kissing on Facebook, and tagged me in them. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

What a small, strange world.

The more you look at it, the more you'll be desensitized to it. Especially if it's the same exact picture every single time you have to see it. Trust me

Time to find a man, OP.

I'm sorry to hear that, OP. I had something happen to me very similar to this a few years back; my advise is to just try and ignore it as best as you can. It's really hard, but you will eventually get used to it.

It's probably best if you don't have him, OP. A guy getting that much attention is bound to have girls swooning over him and might be more inclined to cheat. I bet after his face day after day will get old after a while and you'll be like, "Ugh, why did I even date him?"

OP here. Thanks for the comments, especially the nice ones. I really should be more like a man and be like: "Hey, I tapped that!" every time I walk by that stupid banner. Hah! That said, you guys are amazingly on the mark about a lot of this. He was a handsome football player. I was the smart (but not fat, thank you very much!) girl helping him with his shit. I loved him and he knew it. We did have sex once; then he disappeared out of my life. I'm still trying to wrap my head around this/untangle my heart. He's graduated now, but his ******* face is everywhere. FML.
