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.

So his real reason is to stick his dick in another girl.

atleast you can't yell at him for not planning ahead(:

your ex was probably in it for the sex. he found someone who can do it better. eff your life op, your ex boys a dick.

suck em and things will turn out perfectly.

wow anyone ever think..... he broke up w her cause he didn't want.to hurt her or make her cry... what if the spark went away..... maybe he found someone different or better for him.... or maybe he is preparing himself for college and doesn't want any distractions... do if you say he is a jerk for nothing... good chance you are a ass.

that actually makes sense. he is ethir cheating on you or way more likly just didn't want you to miss him.

So the two of you should just waste time in a relationship you both know isn't lasting? Sound plan you have there.

Which is better; Ending the relationship now when you know you'll have to end it eventually or ending it later while going through all the motions of a relationship even if you don't love the other person anymore? I think he made the better choice even if it does suck. Why waste a year of your life?

If your boyfriend knows that at the time he moves away that he'll want to end the relationship and focus on himself and being single [as many people do] it's better to end it early than to wait another year developing feelings/emotions that aren't going to stick.
