Today, my girlfriend had a complete breakdown. I was trying to calm her down and reassure her that she will accomplish all of her dreams. Her response: "Then why am I even with you?" FML

Today, I decided to break up with my girlfriend. I sat her down and gave her the speech. She broke down in tears and said, “Why does every guy always abandon me? Why am I never good enough?” I felt so bad for her that I took back the breakup and we’re still together now. FML

Today, I told to my girlfriend of 5 years that I'm depressed about having no friends, no job and a difficult family life. I told her that she's the one constant that keeps me going. She decided this was a good time to break up with me to "find" herself, since I was being so mopey. FML

Today, my girlfriend broke up with me telling me I have problems communicating and that I didn't understand her. When I asked her why she didn't talk to me about this before she said "I didn't want to talk about it." FML

Today, I was diagnosed with depression. My girlfriend's idea of consoling me was to break up with me because she can't date a "psycho". FML

Today, my girlfriend's mom pulled me aside and started telling me about how her daughter was extremely depressed and suicidal before she met me, and how happy her family is because of me. I was planning on breaking up with her within the next week. FML

Well, let's not read too far into it since she was under emotional duress.

Wow, ouch, I'm sure she didn't mean it. I know I've said hurtful things when super upset. Hopefully you guys can make up when she calms down.

There is something I have given serious thought to in recent times. People tend to speak the truth when angry at someone or if inebriated. I can say that it's true in this particular scenario, as it could be affected by some outside factor, but signs point to her words being true. If I were OP, I would have a serious talk with her about what she REALLY wants. (what she really, really wants...)

That is very true. Yet I also feel we say these hurtful things to people when mad because we want to hurt them too. Misery loves company after all. Yet at the same time, it's things you overlook normally because you love a person. Not in the abusive way, but in a normal relationship there are things that bother you or aren't the best things about your spouse, but you love them despite them. But when you're angry you sling those negative things about them. It's a tough call, but I agree 100% with you on OP needing to sit his girlfriend down and talking about what she wants and if she really is happy with him.

So in her lowest point the truth came out I would reconsider being with someone that doesn't feel the same way that I feel for them

women like that arent worth your time. If she says something like that then just forget about her and have a plate of lasagna, that always cheers me up.

The truth always comes out when people are under emotional stress that should tell you everything you need to know. Still though I'm sorry you're having to go through this. Also maybe it's time for you to find someone who will make you apart of their dreams.
