Today, while talking with my ex, I mentioned I was depressed about turning 40. He said he'd been depressed about turning 40 as well, until he started screwing hot 20-somethings. We were still together when he turned 40. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I found out my husband has been messaging younger girls on Tinder and trying to meet up. I asked him why he would do such a thing when we have a healthy sex life. His response was ,“They’re just hotter, just like that senior football player you cheated on me with in sophomore year high school.” We’re 40 now. FML
Today, I was texting my friend. He has a history of depression, which we were talking about, and somehow, he turned the conversation to, "If we ever broke up, I would kill myself." I didn't even know we were even going out. FML
Today, I learned that my ex married the girl he cheated on me with and started a family. I’m still single at 30 years old - Five years after that relationship ended. I still live at home and I’ve gained so much weight from the depression that guys find me repulsive. Glad to know my ex did so much better. FML
Today, I found out the boyfriend of 2 years is actually 22 years-old instead of the 28 that he told me. I'm turning 39 this year and I'm very pregnant. FML
Today, after looking back at our high school photos, I told my fiancée I’ve been scared lately that I’m getting uglier with age, and that I was much prettier back then. He got really quiet, and then agreed with me.. I’m only 24. FML
Today, my ex said I had a lot in common with his new girlfriend. His new, grossly overweight, college drop-out, clinically depressed, constantly pot-smoking girlfriend. FML
Today, I found out the 28-year-old I am dating is actually 48. FML
Today, I was in the store when a man started chatting me up. He was good looking and charming. He asked, “So, what are you, 22-23?” I saw him visibly recoil in disgust when I told him my real age. I’m only 35, he was about 50, but he acted like he couldn’t runaway fast enough. FML
Today, my friends were criticizing me, a 36 year-old man hitting on a 22 year-old I met at a bar. I brought up that she’s a consenting adult. One of them responded, “Dude, the year she was born, you were old enough to jerk off and your voice was dropping… isn’t that a turnoff for you?” FML
Today, the new guy at work - who is probably at least ten years older than I am - admired the photo on my desk of myself with my husband and teenage daughters and asked, "Are those your grandchildren?" I'm in my 40's. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I know it's hard to look on the bright side when crappy things happen like this but this is a blessing that he's not with you any more. Just remember that you've kept your integrity, whereas he will always be a cheating, untrustworthy person with no morals.

I've seen this fml from someone else recently...

He's an ex for a reason.

Good thing he's an ex now! Wow. Head up, OP. Obviously you deserve better than that and it's a good thing you guys aren't together anymore.

how do you know if they deserve better? You don't know either of them. They could be jailhouse butt buddies for all anyone knows. No one else seemed to notice it's a man talking about a man either.

If they get cheated on, yes OP does deserve better. Also- what does whether it was a man/man or man/woman relationship have to do with it anyways? the point is the cheating not sexuality.

and what if op had cheated their entire relationship as well? My point is that no one knows who these people are, so stop saying "omg you deserve so much better" and things like that.

"No one else seemed to notice it's a man talking about a man either"... no, because it's irrelevant.

I guess you can't trust anyone. He is your ex for a reason.

Ah yes, screwing twinks does make you feel better. Still sucks for you, though.

The correct response to that would have been, "20 year olds must be great for your self esteem, as long as they are too young and inexperienced to know how bad you are in bed."

hope you find a better 40-something :)

Am I the only one who sees that it is entirely possible that he didn't cheat but that he was just saying he had been depressed about being old until he screwed 20 year olds which could have been after they broke up. He didn't say he screwed them when he turned 40. I'm not saying that he didn't cheat either though, as I don't know the whole situation.

the way the fml was worded i could agree with you

Yeah I initially thought 'wait that could've meant any time after he turned 40' too, but I assume there was other stuff that clarified it in their conversation!

First thing I thought as well, dunno why everybody jumped to the worst conclusion so quickly.

Maybe because this is FML.
