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.

that means you're like a junior in high school? whatever - try again. when you're done with college you can start taking your relationships seriously. for now think of it as practice

I feel your, pain my friend. The love of my life just did the same to me. And she wasn't originally going to move either. It gets better for us I assure you.

LOL, OP, are you me, or? My ex did the same thing. That, and he wanted me to have every chance that came along (in regards to other romantic relationships). Even though I'd made it clear that I was happy with him. Oy. Men.

he doesn't want to lead you on or make you think about moving with him since he's not serious. He's trying to spare your feelings, and I'm sure he'd keep you on if you were ok with being not serious, but you're probably not ok with that. Most girls aren't. He's trying to think ahead and perhaps try to get over the difficult break up before he has to suffer home sickness as well (most frosh get this really bad first semester, but won't admit it)

That does suck and you definitely don't deserve it. I don't think he was being an asshole though. I broke up with somebody before going to university about six months in advance of going because I didn't want to leave things on bad terms and I really care about them as a friend. We both knew that a long distance relationship wouldn't work for us. Because we had those extra few months to get over the break up, we're now really close friends again. If you know you're going to break up with somebody, don't drag it out. That's not fair on anybody.

it would've been better if you two would've broken up a year later? before moving to college overseas, i made sure i didn't have anything serious for a year before. give him some credit- he was probably being considerate.
