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

Today, I got my phone fixed and the lady who was working on it somehow resent all the old text messages in my outbox. One was to my ex saying, "I love you." FML

Sorry, OP, that sounds more clingy and annoying than cute. Ever wonder why he broke up with you?

SHE DID IT AT 12 AM DIPSHIT! How would you like to wake up every night at midnight to see the same AUTOMATED text everyday for a month!

Yeah, to everyone going on about it waking him, not everyone has a pre-midnight bedtime their mummy and daddys make them stick to.

#88 - And then again, some people just like getting a normal amount of sleep, and waking up feeling well-rested in the morning so they can be on time to work and class.

Yeah, and some people don't need as much sleep or start work later. Pretty stupid to assume everyone is just like you.

I turned on automated alerts to remind myself of something every day. After 3 days I had to put an end to it. If I annoyed myself, I can only imagine how bothersome it must be to him for so long. Lesson learned. Stop the insanity.

It was prolly cute in the beginning but after a few days of it, it will get annoying and he prolly resented it after a while.

He probably broke up with you because your damned text kept waking him up at midnight.

I am a girl, and it would annoy ME to get the same message every time. So it's not only guys who would be annoyed by texts. OP tried to look sweet, but it shows her laziness and lack of imagination.
