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

Wow... Is that maybe a compliment gone wrong? "I could never find a woman better than you." - see without context it's really mushy! ;) but less offensive.

I think it has more to do with theunfortunate choice of words used by the boyfriend that upset the OP. ie "settled" not "chose" etc. Personally i think he was trying to give the Op a compliment but the words came out wrong.

You should say "well that just you. I know I can do better dumb ass. See ya" and leave

I think I'm gonna favourite this FML because it can be taken two ways: 1) OP's boyfriend settled for her because he was maybe too shy or insecure to go/wait for someone "better" than OP. 2) OP's boyfriend is trying to say she is the best he'll ever have, but it just didn't come across well and OP misunderstood. So rather more of a compliment than insult.

I was trying to say that she was the best I'll ever have. And yeah, it was my gf that posted the shit.

Every one should be with someone who cherishes them and apreciates them. If he doesn't, you should leave and find someone who does.

Today, my wife told me I’m not worth the trouble. She’d rather overextend herself for complete strangers than spend any time with me. I should've seen this coming. Even before we got married, her favourite line was, “You already had children with someone else, we’ll never be a family.” I tried for nothing. FML
