Relationships, Relatable, Awkward and Love: Misguided

Misguided

By lovelesslonely - 12/10/2010 17:48 - United States

Today, my boyfriend brought me home flowers and candy for the first time in our one-year relationship. Thinking he was going to finally propose, I got excited. I asked why he was being so sweet, and he responded with, "I thought you'd take the breakup better this way." FML

Same thing different taste

Today, I received a bouquet of flowers from my boyfriend, which is something he's never done before. Unfortunately, this was his way of apologizing for cheating on me. FML

Today, my boyfriend sent me so many nice texts that he made me fall in love with him that little bit more. It turns out he was sweetening me up before telling me he cheated on me the night before. FML

Today, on the way out to buy groceries, my boyfriend asked if I'd like him to buy some of my favourite flowers. Happy with his rare show of affection, I said yes. When he returned, he gave me a bag of our usual brand of flour and laughed hysterically in my face. FML

Make your mind up

Today, my boyfriend of over a year broke up with me. Completely crushed, I spent an hour gathering up everything he ever gave me. Then he calls back to say how stupid he was and how he wanted me back. I was ecstatic. An hour later he figured out he was okay with his first decision. FML

Today, I brought my girlfriend flowers. All she managed to do was to say, "It’s been a year since you brought me flowers." FML

Today, my boyfriend of three years sent me several flowers and chocolate boxes to my office. It ends up that he cheated on me with my sister and tried to break the news to me after all the presents he sent. I thought he actually remembered our anniversary this year. 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, my boyfriend took me to dinner. There was a beautifully decorated table with rose petals and a huge bouquet and he told me he had ordered all this for me. I'd never felt so special. That is, until I had to get up for the couple whose table it actually was. FML

Awkward small talk

By I Feel Horrible - 20/07/2014 17:59 - United States - San Francisco

Today, I went to my boyfriend's house, intending to break up with him. Instead, I was greeted by his whole family throwing me a surprise party. I had to sit and listen to his whole family talk about what a great couple we are and how we're going to last forever. FML

I'm sorry, but "finally propose" and "1 year relationship"?

He should have got down on one knee when he said it. That would have been the best breakup of all time.

"Finally" propose after a whole year, huh? Ummmmmmmm... Okay.

It's interesting that people are saying negative things about the guy for trying to end the relationship with a positive gesture. Break ups are rarely great or easy, but is it his fault that she assumed that he was going to "finally" propose after a year? Unless there's more to the story, it seems that he tried to be a lot nicer about the break-up than many other people are...

ok, he was a douche. but seriously. you had only been together one year and you thought he was *finally* going to propose? even if you knew him before you dated that's not really a very long time to be dating. especially when you're saying you're hoping he "finally" proposes.

My parents dated for 10 years before they got married and still got a divorce in the end. If you wait only a year, don't expect much

What the hell do you mean by finally? You had been dating for 1 year. If you got married after one year you would divorce no doubt. People can't know enough about each other to get married after only one year.

Finally? WTF is wrong with you. You should never ever even think of getting married after 1 year. Good for him that he broke up with you. You are crazy.
