Today, I broke up with my boyfriend of seven years. He stared at me, then said, "Yeah, okay then. I'm gonna watch TV now." He then turned on the TV and watched Top Gun. Not quite the response I was hoping for. FML

What were you hoping for exactly? To see him break down in tears for your satisfaction? The poor guy was probably devastated and trying to hold it together.

He cruised through a potentially brutal break-up fight like atrue maverick.

I'm sorry, but you broke up with him. You're not "entitled" to any sort of reaction. He's his own person and will deal with the break up in the best way for him. Don't expect him to break down in tears and beg you not to leave.

That's cause you'll probably be back with him soon.. That's what always happens

What did you want, tears? You sound more upset about it than he is

I guess you crashed and burned on the first try...

I guess the OP crashed and burned on this one...

Wow, what were you expecting? Him to grovel on his knees and ask for you back? Or maybe for him to break down crying so you got your gratification? Sounds like he handled it by trying to distract himself so he didn't break down and embarrass himself in front of you, but nobody feels so casual after hearing that their relationship of seven years just ended.

you wanted him to break down on ya?? what kind of girl are u?? I would be devastated just doing that.. u should be happy it didn't completely break him..

you wanted him to be upset? that's kinda a dick move. people handle bad news differently. don't get pissed over a reaction.

You dumped him. Now your getting upset that he's not going to cry over it??

That wasn't the response you were hoping for? Did you expect him to be begging you to stay or something? Stop being so self important.
