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.

Are you stupid? YOU'RE the one who dumped him, not the other way around. If you're over your 7 year relationship with him, why isn't he allowed to be over it too? Especially since you're the one who took initiative and dumped him.

People deal with things differently, I'll bet you that as soon as he was alone he started to cry/ get drunk or even both...

I think he was just tying to mask a major breakdown . Not that he didn't value the relationship .

I just broke up from a 6 year relationship. When it first happened, I was on my lunch break and I just went back to work. A week later when we talked about it again and officially broke up. Then I broke down.

He would have acted differently if you two were in a good relationship, but if you were breaking up with him obviously there was already problems in your relationship...he acted like he should have : unsurprised

I don't think op meant she wanted to see him get on his knees and beg or break down and cry. What I do think she means is that she expected him to at least looked like he cared, especially being together for 7 years.

Well what the **** did you want him to do get on his knees a beg for you back

It's kind of odd you wanted a certain response from him, I can see why he's not phased by you breaking up with him.
