I'm not worthy

By dracer - 04/02/2010 02:17 - United States

Today, my boyfriend of three years who I helped through drug rehab and find employment in my office left me for someone else. His explanation was that now that his "head is not clouded with chemicals" and he "makes decent money", he wants to settle down with someone worthy of him. FML

The old "It's not you, it's me"

By WhoopsIDidItAgain - 14/07/2022 01:00 - United States - Fremont

Today, my boyfriend of 3 months decided to end our long-distance relationship out of the blue, because he "lost interest" and "our families don't approve" and "you deserve better than me" and "I'm holding you back." He took my heart and shattered against the wall. FML

If u think about it for a minute that's actually more of a compliment than an insult. I "settled" with my wife because I don't believe I'll ever find anyone "better" than her; no one sweeter, no one funnier, no one more perfect for me. If u really think he can find someone "better" then u should tell him to do so. YDI

It could mean that but it could also mean he 'settled' as in, he wanted better but 'settled' for what he's got since no one else wants him. Meaning, he thinks she is not good enough for him, but he is accepting that since he can't get the one he really wants. It depends on how he said it or how you think about it. It could be a compliment if you think about it your way but it could also be an insult.

Then you didn't settle for your wife. To settle for someone means that they didn't meat all of your complete desires. From what you describe your wife does all that and more. :)

I hope she didn't "meat" all your desires. That would be weird. Doh. :)

Today, my girlfriend and I broke up. When I got home from work, I came home to glitter. EVERYWHERE. Guess who forgot to get the key to his apartment back from his ex-girlfriend. The guy who's having his family over for dinner tonight. FML

Today, I never know who’s going to have my kids during their dad’s weekend. He drops them off with just anyone as he goes partying, but calls the cops if I pick them up early. Last week they were with his girlfriend’s brother; before that it was her uncle, and before that her cousin. All total strangers to the kids. FML

Today, my boyfriend asked me to talk dirty in bed for him, but my brain went blank and I panicked. I couldn't think of what to say, so I suddenly blurted out, "Do whatever you want with my body. Treat it like a corpse." He laughed and I died a little inside. FML
