Don't do this to me

Today, I broke up with my boyfriend. Devastated, he withered onto the floor into an inconsolable wreck in front of dozens of people. The ribbon of embarrassment that went down my spine was too much for me to handle, so I had to tell him I was "only joking." FML

Yikes. That's why you should break up with someone in private

YDI for acting like it was a joke, if he wants to act like a child, let him, u should have just walked away

Honestly, though I know I shouldn't be laughing, I need to remark that this is the funniest post I ever read on FML.com. Catharsis broke out when I got to the part saying "only joking".

Perhaps you should attempt to grow a heart? -.- Good guys are hard to find. I know people who would kill to be you and have a Guy who cares -.- #Heartless

And how do we know this was a good guy? Just from the FML, he sounds spineless and manipulative. Furthermore, even if he was a "good guy," OP would not be obligated to continue dating him. Being a "good guy" doesn't entitle you to the affection of whatever girl you choose, and in fact, believing so conclusively proves that you are NOT a good guy at all.

You shouldn't call her heartless just because she broke up with him and he cried about it. Crying does not make him a good guy. My ex boyfriend lied, cheated, and yelled at me almost every single day, but he still cried every time we broke up. It's called manipulation.

YDI for a) dating such a clingy loser in the first place, b) doing the breakup in public (why on earth do people ever do this?), and c) not having the spine to tell him the truth.

You're being manipulated, whether intentional or not. Stop giving him what he wants.
