Today, I broke up with my boyfriend of 2 years because I was tired of his childishness and anger, so he decided to send me 540 random text messages of scrambled letters in order to mess up my phone as well, as make me pay 20 cents for each message. FML

Today, I got a text from my girlfriend saying she needed more phone credit, so I bought her more and got another message saying "Great, now I have enough credit for this..." as she spelled out a three page message breaking up with me. Yes, I paid for her to break up with me via text. FML

Today, my boyfriend broke up with me via text message. Every 20 minutes or so, I'll get a notification that I have a new message, and I check it just to find that same message sitting there. I'm being trolled by my own phone. FML

Nice victim blaming, dude

Today, I had to tell my boyfriend his dad was sending me inappropriate texts that made me feel uncomfortable. I tried to make him stop, but he kept going until I felt like I needed to tell my boyfriend. Who's now broken up with me because of it. FML

Today, I received a text from my boyfriend breaking up with me. Not only was this a bit cowardly but he'd also sent it in a reply to our last interaction on our phones, a group chat with some of our friends, who started commenting with sad face emojis before I had even had the chance to see it.

Today, my boyfriend was such a coward that instead of breaking up with me, he changed his phone number. FML

Today, my boyfriend came over and dropped off my phone, which I'd left at his place the night before. He immediately left in a sulk. As I looked through my texts, I discovered he was only so moody because I hadn't answered any of his calls or messages. I'm dating an idiot. FML

Today, this guy I was seeing dumped me for "bombarding" him with text messages. I'd sent him one text asking if he was okay, after he stood me up 2 nights in a row. FML

Today, I confronted my boyfriend after he received a text with a bunch of hearts on it. After arguing, turns out it was from me. FML

Today, I sent out a Happy Snow Day text to 20 of my closest friends. My boyfriend, who doesn't have an iPhone, didn't realize it was a group text. He sent back a text breaking up with me. To all the people in the group message. FML

Making the receiver pay for SMS is totally weak.

You have to pay to recieve texts?! Dear god. That's ridiculous, in the UK they are free to recieve and like 10p to send.

At least you know you made the right decision! I really hope you didn't open all of the messages he sent you! But why don't you have a texting plan? It's alot cheaper...

That's what you get for using text messaging in the first place. The device you have it on is made for TALKING to someone. Everyone who texts deserves to get charged up the ass for it...

Except you don't have a choice, its an included feature, and even if you never send you still get charged for receiving. What you can do (OP) is report the message as spam, which it really is, and then they'll credit you back (probably)

They probably did hoping one will be a "I'm so sorry, I have just realized what a horrible childish jerk I've been. To show that I'm grown up, I'll pay for the previous 539 messages and have started seeing someone about my issue. Please take me back."

That happened to me; the ex used a website to spam me with SMS and MMS messages. I got over 2500 before I could get my carrier to block the number. :(
