Today, I finally summed up the courage to break up with my abusively controlling girlfriend. I don't know what I was thinking, but instead of leaving as a free man, I left as an engaged one. FML

Today, I finally got the courage to leave my controlling and manipulative ex. He took it well. And by "took it well", I mean he camped out my doorstep, held some of my belongings hostage, and tried to blackmail me into staying with him. FML

Today, my girlfriend confessed that she was scared that she was more in love with me than I was in her, and that she was afraid I would leave her. So she left me instead. I'd been thinking about proposing. FML

Wrong end of the stick

Today, I went to my girlfriend's house to break up with her. It was a hard decision and both of us became quite emotionally overwhelmed at the time. We began to hug as a final goodbye, then her mum burst in the room and yelled, "HE FINALLY PROPOSED!" FML

Today, after weeks of my crazy girlfriend avoiding me because she knew I wanted to break up with her, I had no option but to do it by text. She told all my friends, who now think I'm a coward who isn't man enough to break up in person. They didn't even ask for my side of the story. FML

Today, after weeks of doubt and pondering the pros and cons, I finally broke up with my girlfriend, and she burst into tears. Feeling guilty, I tried to console her by saying, "Don't worry, we can still be cousins." FML

Today, after months of arguing and conflict, I broke up wIth my fiancé. Or at least, I tried to. The wedding's off, but only until he can convince me to want to marry him again. FML

Today, I finally worked up the courage to break up with my boyfriend. His parents weren't able to pick him up for 5 hours. I ended up taking him to a movie to kill time and end on a positive note, but now he thinks we're cool and back on track. FML

Fake your own death and escape to a tropical island. It's clearly the only option left.

You need to get out NOW. Don't let her manipulate you anymore. My brother has been with a girl just like that for a year and a half. Every time he's tried to break up with her, she convinces him not to. You deserve SO much better! That is NOT love.

I'm sorry, but I can't find sympathy for you. If someone recognizes that they're in an unhealthy relationship of any form and still sticks around, that becomes their stupidity. There's plenty of help and resources to break free. If you won't truly step up and decide to leave her, you can't expect empathy of any kind.

I had an abusive partner once. You have to try again, stand your ground, and most importantly if you want this to end immediately: Stop having sex with her!! If you don't you'll never win. This is the rest of your life you're talking about!

No more YOLO s***. That got old after every person in the world made it their catchphrase.

Stop saying YOLO! It's the ******* stupid version of "Carpe Diem"

I don't actually give a shit about YOLO, it's a stupid thing stupid people say to justify doing stupid things. I was just making a ******* joke, society should learn to calm down and be a little less over sensitive
