Break-ups and Love: Standards

Standards

Today, my boyfriend dumped me because he said he needed to be with someone smart so that he could impress his parents. I just got accepted into medical school. When I pointed that out to him, he added that he needed to be with someone attractive. FML

Backhanded insult?

Today, my boyfriend and I were talking about our past relationships. He told me that he broke up with his last girlfriend because she was smart and he suited someone who was quite stupid. He then went on to say that I was perfect for him. FML

Today, my boyfriend and I talked about our past relationships. He said he broke up with his last girlfriend because she was "too smart" for him, and that he felt better being with someone who "doesn't have too many lights on upstairs, if you know what I mean." FML

Today, I found out the reason my boyfriend dumped me was because his parents don't like the fact that I go to a prestigious university. However, they're completely accepting of the drunken slob who's dating their daughter. FML

Today, my boyfriend got rejected by his dream college. In an effort to comfort him, I told him that he is incredibly smart and that it's their loss. He replied, "Of course you think so, you're an idiot!" FML

I'm not worthy

By dracer - 04/02/2010 02:17 - United States

Today, my boyfriend of three years who I helped through drug rehab and find employment in my office left me for someone else. His explanation was that now that his "head is not clouded with chemicals" and he "makes decent money", he wants to settle down with someone worthy of him. FML

You are going to be a doctor. You do not need a guy like that distracting you from getting or belittling your degree.

Brains are the sexy part of a woman.... that and legs are a close second. And when you walk into the drug store one day and he is working the counter and new hot gf is a hooters girls, you will see that your much better off as you walk out to your Lexus.

Well. Clearly he was just trying for ANY excuse to break up with you. That's why he failed with the 'smart' one. Don't let it get to you. He's just a loser who was trying to hurt you.

I agree that brains are more important than attractiveness. But. For someone as smart as you are, you deserved it because you couldn't take 'no' for an answer the first time and you tried to argue with him.

props to you for getting into med school. and trust me, you deserve someone better than that. and #25, of course she's going to object to what he said the first time. he was basically calling her stupid when she's obviously not. standing up for herself at that point was the right thing to do, regardless of if he was breaking up with her or not.
