Today, my boyfriend of eleven months broke up with me, but adamantly insisted I didn't move out of our apartment, because he can't pay the rent alone. FML

Today, my boyfriend broke up with me, claiming moving in was a bad idea and he is the type who needs his privacy. It was his idea to move in, he had to convince me. Now we are stuck, under lease together for the next 6 months. FML

Surprise!

By Anonymous - 13/12/2021 01:58

Today, my boyfriend told me he’d have a surprise for me when I got home. The surprise was he’d moved out, dumped me, and cut me off from his share of the bills, because he’s not interested in marriage and babies. I can’t afford the rent by myself so I’m going to have to move back to my mother's. FML

Today, my boyfriend admitted that he never thought we had a future together. He just wanted to move in together so he could get "cheaper rent for a while." FML

Time to move on

Today, my boyfriend of 4 years, whom I just signed a year lease, broke up with me, exactly a week after my best friend's funeral in my last year of college. I can't afford to live in our apartment alone. I'm going to have to drop out and move in with my sister states away. FML

Today, I went to my boyfriend's apartment to break up with him since he's always busy, and I haven't seen or spoke to him in almost 2 months. I arrived to find out from his landlord that he'd moved out 3 weeks ago, leaving a note saying that we were over. FML

Great boyfriend

Today, I'm 37 years-old and recently out of a job. As my boyfriend refuses to pay more than half the rent as long as I live here, I have no choice but to move back in with my mom, 8 hours away. My boyfriend is quite happy to pay the entire rent as soon as I'm gone. FML

Today, my boyfriend of one year broke up with me. He's been in jail for the last four months. I paid for his very expensive lawyer. FML

That's what you get for moving in together so soon. FYI- you don't have to listen to him... unless you are locked in on a lease or rental contract. Then FYL.

Hey she made a commitment when she moved in. She should at least put up with him till the lease is up. At the same time make him suffer by having new guy friends over for a slumber party.

Wait until he is at work, then get a bunch of your friends to move you out, including taking everything you bought together (furnitur, bed, tv, ect). If you can't use the bigger stuff where your moving, leave them outside for him to put back... if their not taken by others.

Simple. Move out anyway. Why would you care that he can't afford the rent? His problems are no longer your problems.

But you don't understand. He was adamant! How is she supposed to move out in the face of that?

I don't care what sort of pirate shirt wearing late 70s rock star he was, she should still move out!

Are you on the lease? If not, who cares about his rent problems? Get out of there. What a jerk.

FML? FML for what? FHL I'd say. YOU tell HIM to move out, or you simply move out by yourself. He's the screwed up one in here.

You were together for 11 months. I am unimpressed by the gravity of his impact on your life. It's obvious to me that you moved in together much too soon. Have you even had the flu together yet? Sometimes even after that couples need more time. Why are you moaning the loss of this guy? His financial situation is obviously lacking- to the point without any other redeeming qualities I think you need to write him off. Pay whatever it takes to break the lease. You got off cheap.
