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.

my sisters boyfriend did the same)-;

Why spend a year getting attached just for it to end?

That's true, I never thought of it that way. :s

Sounds like you got away to me. Better sooner rather than when you're more attached.

my ex girlfriend did the same thing to me. it's not cause he doesn't want to hurt you or anything like that. it's because he wants to get with as many chicks as he can before he leaves. sorry about your luck. I'm sure you will find someone real nice soon.

um there's no way for you to know his motives, so dont pretend to know exactly why he did it.

eh follow him there and ruin his life or just move on with yours there are many more wonderful men/boys that will appreciate you and will want to be with you forever but that doesnt matter because either way you are still you and bad things happen its life

he wants too be free his senior year and do whatever the **** he wants because its his last year of high school. he wants too live a little and have some fun. you should do the same. senior year is the greatest year of most peoples lives.

if you peaked in high school then i hate to tell you, but thats pretty sad. most people dont consider it the best year of their lives at all...unless theyre under 21.

peaked? im a sophomore in college. all im saying is its normally the last year with everybody you grew up with. your childhood friends. well for me it was anyway. yeah college is great, the frat parties, the smoking hot chicks, taking classes that interest you, hey im not complaining but id love to re live my senior year. it was great.

your comment does not suggest that at all. "senior year is the greatest year of most peoples lives" infers that this is the year most people will look back on and say this is the greatest year of my life, thus the peak of your life. it doesnt get much simpler than that. getting married, having children, the year you became a respected member of your business/started a business, made it big, travelled the world, helped save a life, helped improve someones life, achieved independence, moved out and supported yourself...these things and others are usually the period in which people look back and go "that was the best year of my life"
