Today, my boyfriend of five years got me a ring for Christmas. When I opened it, I was speechless and overjoyed. He then said, "It's just a ring. It doesn't mean anything." FML

Today, I got a card from the jewelry store thanking me for purchasing an engagement ring a year ago and wishing me and my fiancée a long and everlasting marriage. Too bad my fiancée took off with the pizza delivery boy 6 months ago. FML

Today, I wrote a long, loving and emotional Christmas letter to my girlfriend, leaving it for her to read when she woke up. Halfway through the day, I received a text stating that she saw my "breakup letter" and threw out all my stuff. I can't even contact her now. FML

Today, my boyfriend of five years finally gave me a ring. Oh no, not an engagement ring. He gave me a ring "to apologize for sleeping with his married coworker." FML

Today, I found out that my girlfriend of almost four years was breaking up with me when she captioned an Instagram post saying, "Who else besides me is going into 2018 single?" I had already bought an engagement ring. FML

Today, I got home early from work at 2am to find my girlfriend of 5 years missing. Upon further inspection, I caught the "other man" dropping her off out front. So much for the engagement ring I bought for her. FML

Yeah I agree with whomever said at least you got your stuff back. My ex broke up with me and refuses to give me my cat, my clothes and a few really special sentimental things I used to own, back. Consider yourself lucky.

I wonder why people use the "It's not you, it's me" thing? If I break up with someone it is because I have a problem with them because of something they are... "It's you, not me!" Then of course, that is always open for debate...

I guess they would feel more guilty if they said it's your fault. Honestly I'd rather hear "you're an ass" and a list of the real reasons why she wants to break up. "It's not you, it's me" is just f**king pathetic and childish. I just don't believe anyone can truly mean it. Like it's really their fault, and they don't want to be a burden or whatever.

You'd better believe there are people like that. Some people will let you walk all over them, and then turn around and apologize.

Today, I came home from a four-day trip. Apparently, my cat thought I was gone for good and is now very unhappy that I'm home. I know this because she's been positioning herself between me and my husband all night, and hisses every time I try to touch him. He thinks it's hilarious. FML
