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

You should have walked away. Now you'll never be able to leave.

That mask reminds me of jack of blades.

Te mask has nothing to do with the comment haha wtf

If OP was my girlfriend, she wouldn't be my girlfriend anymore.

good imagery, really? "ribbon of embarrassment" just makes me think of a ribbon covered in neon pink cocks, not, you know, being embarrassed.

It appears as though, when you broke up with him, his balls dropped off and his penis inverted into his body. Or he's just really ******* upset. How long were you dating?

the way this is worded is painful. stay in school, kids. otherwise, you end up writing fmls in purple prose to try and make internet strangers think you're intelligent.

This is from Asia/Pacific. I have a feeling from the vocab' and grammar that OP's first language is not English, which makes it a damn good attempt in my book. How's your Chinese?

Irrelevant. Even a word-for-word Google Translate of a half-decent Chinese poem would would read better than this dross. "Ribbon of embarrasment?" How about "Bouquet of flatulence?" Pee-yew!

nothing wrong with dramatic imagery. she'll make tons of money writing harlequin novels, or the next twilight series.... *runs from mob with pitch forks*

This is just overdone. If this were a Creative Writing 101 critique and not FML, I think I'd say the language is more showy than expressive.

My two cents -- I've met people that aren't from English-speaking countries that know more about our language than we do. The OP seems to have a very good command of the language, and it's actually well written, but it does come off a bit stuffy. |the kid|

okay, now I'm not a grammar nazi but... this fml is fillex with contradicting input (from an english aspect) op uses big words in complex sentences. but it comes out as making sorta sense....

After reading what 30 said, you still had the impression he/she was on earth?

This is the most badly written FML I've ever seen.
