Today, I finally got up the nerve to leave my boyfriend. We have no spark and quite honestly, it's been really awkward. I planned to tell him when he came in, and I did. After all was said and done, he handed me the roses and new puppy he had bought for me, a puppy that I had been saving up to get. FML

Today, I finally worked up the courage to tell my boyfriend that I wanted to go separate ways. Before I could say anything, he proposed. FML

Today, I had finally summoned the courage to break up with my boyfriend, something I've needed to do for a long time. Right before my speech, he presented me with tickets to my favorite band a month from now. FML

Today, after laying down to sleep, my boyfriend seemed like he was having trouble trying to say something. After asking what was wrong a couple of times, he said, "I don't want to do this anymore" and got up and left. I had planned on telling him I love him. Saved myself some embarrassment I guess. FML

Today, my boyfriend sent me a bouquet of roses with a message attached. The message said, "Ever since your dog died you've stopped putting out, so I think we should break up." FML

Today, I finally worked up the courage to break up with my boyfriend. His parents weren't able to pick him up for 5 hours. I ended up taking him to a movie to kill time and end on a positive note, but now he thinks we're cool and back on track. FML

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 got an email saying the gift I'd ordered for my boyfriend of three years had been sent. I ordered it a couple of days ago because I thought he needed cheering up. I guess he found a better way of doing so himself; he broke up with me yesterday. FML

Today, I went to go meet my boyfriend at a restaurant to tell him it just wasn't working out. Before I could do so, he proposed. I had to tell him no, so he started to cry and ran out. Everyone looked at me like some kind of monster. FML

When he came in, you told him this? You didn't notice that he had a bouquet of roses and a freakin' <i>live puppy</i> with him?

Guess it’s not puppy love then? Sounds ruff. Bet you felt a little hot under the collar but at least you are not leading him on. Sorry for the paw jokes.

ADOPT, don't buy. The best dog you'll ever have is a rescue.

While I agree, a lot of rescues have health problems, are dealing with neglect, or are incredibly old. In a lot of situations I’d really prefer to bond with a puppy and forge a relationship with that rather than adopt a rescue and be encumbered with issues I didn’t sign up for.

Reimburse him for the puppy by giving him the savings for it and the money you were going to continue to put towards it.

What's the FML here? I mean, sounds more like HIS FML. You dumped someone you weren't interested in and still got rewarded for it.

Because it made her feel guilty?

I literally had to join this sign so I could make a comment and then scroll all the way down to do it. That SUCKS for both you and him. He’s probably a great guy and you are a great gal but at least something good came of this? Tbh my buddy had a similar thing happen and my heart reaches to how snotty you feel but at least you are an awesome enough person to make him KNOW you will be good to that puppy and that he liked you enough to do you a solid. And good on you for being direct!

I'm guessing he knew it was coming, and thought he could change your mind.

I know I'm late, but here is an update. He and I worked through it, and managed to talk things over and remain close friends. He and I are seeing other people, but there are no hard feelings and we see each other very often.
