Preemptive strike

By youngblood - This FML is from back in 2011 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, my boyfriend broke up with me. His reason was because he's moving away for college. That won't be for another year. FML

I see it as being kind of thoughtful. If he knew he was going to break up with you in a year anyway, maybe he was trying to spare your feelings. Usually the longer a couple is together, the closer they are. It's possible he just didn't want you to become more attached then you already are. I don't really understand why he would break up with you just because he was going to college. It seems like you will be better off without him. You'll find the right guy soon.

Jerk. On the other hand, maybe he didn't like dating a vampire. Young blood? Not good.

yeah what a douche for breaking up now, when he could just stayed with her one more year and hurt her feelings later....it was smart of him to do that now when it was gonna happen anyway. Now OP and her bf can move on faster.

It's okay OP ! Time to move on to another guy that will love you ! Good luck with love OP (:

well at least you won't have to see him...

not at all, quite the opposite. it's an honest excuse, if your are going to move away, and you don't have that strong of feelings for the girl, why linger? probably saved her a even worse heartbreak in the end
