Today, at exactly midnight, I get a text from my boyfriend saying we were done. I had just seen him 4 hours ago when we were out celebrating my birthday, and asked why he didnt just tell me then. He replies 'I couldn't break up with you on your birthday but i wanted it to be over ASAP' FML

Break-ups happen, be glad he didnt do it on your birthday! /care

#15 Yes, it does. To my mind, 'proceeded' is for when the action is the last of a series of actions towards a same goal. It's what makes the most sense to me.

sorry to hear it :( but at least he was somewhat nice about it, personally i would've waited until later in the week to do it in person...

It may not seem like it now, but you are way better off without him. What a jackass. A few men give all the rest a bad rep. I'm not saying he is a jackass for this one stunt. I'm guessing he's always been one if he'd stoop so low. Maybe now that he's out of your life it won't be so ******.

That's low, he's obviously been thinking about breaking up for a while, i doubt he came to the conclusion over night. He should have broken up sooner as to not ruin your birthday- waiting till midnight? Talk about a Cinderella Man. When something ends, it only leads to new beginnings. Happy Belated Birthday!

don't worry, OP, I'll vote FYL to cancel out #2's retardation.

its 'sweet' of him not wanting to break up with you on your bday, but he could have at least waited until the next morning or week or whenever when he saw you in person again. breaking up over the phone is pretty rude.

Consider it a post-birthday present. There are plenty of fish in the sea. :)

So you wanted him to break up with you on your birthday and ruin your celebrations, or did you want him to stay in a relationship he didn't want to be in?
