Today, I went to my girlfriend's house to celebrate our 4-year anniversary with a shadow box I had made for her of our memories over the years. I left her house single, with a small bag of "breakup candy." FML

hey guys, OP here. I would like to say thanks for the support on this post. So as for breaking up, it went as smoothly as I could hope for. She was kind enough to answer all of my "but why" questions and the candy was some of our shared favorites. I guess I should have seen the breakup coming but I was in serious denial for a few months. We are still on talking terms and are separating peacefully but it doesn't suck or hurt any less.. As for why it happened on our anniversary? It wasn't really planned in any way to be on that day. it just... played out like that. I know this sounds dumb but it was the first time we had gotten to speak at length in over a month. I hope this clears up any questions.. Thanks again for the support ya'll show

She either went out and bought you candy (to cheer you up?!??) or she just gave you some leftover pity candy Either way that is harsh.

That's horrid she could've at least waited a little longer or done it sooner

After 4 years I think you deserve more than than a little candy as a break up "gift".

It's sad, but at least you know now and you're aware of how she was feeling.

She could have waited for another day, one that didn't have so much significance.

I'm truly sorry, OP. I feel really bad for you. I know how much this hurts.

I feel like it's better to do it on the same day. Then there's only one day a year that you spend remembering and getting sad until you're completely over it and moved on.

Doesn't really clear up anything. You make a shadow box and she broke up with u. Why

#40 That's actually a really smart idea!!

Chin up, brov. Breakups are painful, but that's a silly circumstance.

That breaks my heart. I can't imagine what it did to yours. fyl
