Today, I found out I have an option on my phone to postpone the sending of my text messages. I thought it would be cute to send my boyfriend texts saying, "I love you and sweet dreams" every night at midnight for a month. He broke up with me and now I can't figure out how to stop the texts. 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

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 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

Spineless

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, at exactly midnight, I get a text from my boyfriend saying we were done. I had just seen him 4 hours ago when we were out celebrating my birthday, and asked why he didnt just tell me then. He replies 'I couldn't break up with you on your birthday but i wanted it to be over ASAP' FML

Guilt trip

By annoyed - 11/05/2016 11:40 - Netherlands - Maastricht

Today, I sent my boyfriend a sweet text message, since he recently complained that I'm rarely romantic. Instead of being happy, he decided that since it's so out of character for me, I must be cheating on him and must have only sent it out of guilt. 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

maybe thats why he brokeup with you to begin with, but idk that im just guessing. i know if i got the same message the same time everyday i would be annoyed and think "cant they send it to me randomly?" its not as heartfelt if your expecting the same message the same time everyday.

It's not the message that is supposed to be sweet you idiots. It's the thought that it should have shown his stupid ass that she wanted to let him know she was thinking of him. What if she got her fone taken away? It's still send and he'd still get her little surprise. He doesn't have to check it anyways. Not like she calling and harrasing him for the hell of it!!

My boyfriend would just find it funny and sweet if I found the automated text thing, because he knows me too well and knows if I find something new to play with I hve t try it out. As it is he gets a text almost every night that I'm not with him waying good night and that I miss him. It's generally something along the same lines because it's normally the last thing I do before I pass out.
