Love: Breakdown

Breakdown

By Gullible - 25/02/2013 06:10 - United States - Cleveland

Today, my boyfriend of three years told me he was thinking about us taking a break. After an hour of crying and him saying it would be okay, I accepted it. When I asked when the break would start, he replied, "What are you talking about? I only said I'd thought about it" and then laughed. FML

Same thing different taste

Today, I broke up with my boyfriend. I had only been dating him for about a month. Thinking he wouldn't take it very hard, I invited him over so I could tell him in person. Little did I know he was going to start crying on my couch and not leave for 5 hours. FML

Today, I broke up with my boyfriend. After three long weeks of him ignoring me and cancelling out on time we were supposed to spend with each other. He looked at me with the most confused look on his face. Then he says ''Are you serious? I was planning the perfect day to ask you to marry me'' FML

Mixed signals

Today, my boyfriend took me out to a fancy dinner. Halfway through, he said he wanted to break up. I started crying, but the whole restaurant thought he'd proposed, and started clapping. FML

Off the top of my head…

Today, my boyfriend called and said he was stopping by to talk. I didn't understand why he would stop by, so I asked if he was going to break up with me, he said no. Half an hour later, he knocked on my door to break up with me. FML

Supportive

By Schmolly - 13/10/2009 05:01 - United States

Today, I had a mental breakdown. Many things have been going completely wrong in my life, and I finally decided to let my boyfriend know about it. After about an hour of explaining and pouring my heart out, his response was, "I think we were better off as friends." FML

The GOAT

By stunned - 15/03/2010 15:27 - United States

Today, my boyfriend of almost a year and a half broke up with me when he decided he wasn't in love with me anymore. We gave our stuff back, he was joking and happy the whole time until I told him I was taking back my cat. At that point he burst into tears. FML

Crossed purposes

By knee2tak - 14/03/2009 09:46 - United States

Today, I told my boyfriend, "We need to talk." He said, "I know". So we met after school, and he said he was OK with me breaking up with him, that he wasn't that into me either. He said all that before I could tell him that my parents wanted to meet him. FML

Explain yourself!

By Anonymous - 26/09/2024 11:00 - United Kingdom - Tamworth

Today, my boyfriend of four years proposed, and I said yes! Not even three hours later, I got a text message asking if we could just be friends instead. He won't tell me what changed, and doesn't feel like he owes me any explanation. FML

Its not very cool or nice of him to let you cry for an hour over this. he sounds like he just wanted to show how in control he is of the relationship. Not acceptable. Maybe you should think about starting the break.

Haha. Sounds like he was just trying to be funny, not realizing it would hurt you. I think it's time for you to move on and be with someone more mature than that.

Sounds unnecessarily cruel. Either that or he's very thick-headed.

Telling your other if you're thinking about a break isn't that bad...but the laughing at you after crying? Why would you stick around for that? Sounds kinda like my ex in a way...trust me when I say that you will be happier after leaving that relationship

Yes, because him being honest about his thoughts and telling you what he was thinking is really bad. Him laughing at the end was obviously because he didnt know that you had missunderstood him, and he found it a bit funny. i would probably laugh a little aswell. lighten the mood.

It shouldn't have taken an hour to clear up the misunderstanding.

If he was laughing at her misunderstanding, surely he laughed before saying he was only thinking about it, instead of after? Personally, it sounds like he was trying to mindfuck her.

What a jerk. He is mind ******* you. Dump him. He just wanted to bring you down to his low level, and it worked by hurting you and making you cry. He's a child.
