Today, I got an acceptance later to a great boarding school in India for my senior year of high school. I sent them a letter telling them I wouldn't go, because I just got back with my ex-boyfriend. I just got a text from my boyfriend. Guess who's my ex again? FML

Today, my boyfriend informed me that he'd resolved all the issues with his ex and is getting back together with her. Normally I could tolerate this if it weren't for the fact that I just moved to a different country to live with him, and turned down a university and a scholarship. FML

Today, I was accepted to college and received a scholarship equal to almost half the tuition. After sharing this news with my parents, I spent the next 35 minutes getting yelled at about how I wasn't allowed to go there because my boyfriend might go there. FML

Today, I was chilling with my best friend and suddenly I got a text from my ex saying he wanted me back. My best friend saw the text and said, "Don't go back with him, you deserve better." I wanted to go back with him but I didn't. Later, I saw them hanging out and turns out they're dating. FML

Today, I found out that the girl I've been in love with for a long while got back together with her ex boyfriend because he had confessed his true feelings to her through a note in her locker. It was my note. FML

Today, I asked my boyfriend what would happen if I didn’t get into the same school as him. He replied, "Then we’ll just break up." We broke up. I still don’t know what school I’m going to. FML

Today, my mom called me to tell me she'd got in touch with my ex for his birthday, and that the two of them had made a plan for us to get back together. My new boyfriend was in the process of proposing to me. FML

Today, I got a large envelope from a college I applied to earlier. My mom, expecting big news, made my family gather round as I opened it. It ended up being a letter of rejection from not just that school, but all three campuses of the state college. FML

NEVER EVER limit your great opportunities because of a relationship. If the relationship is stable, he'll agree and you'll try to work it out. It *might* not work, but you don't know, right? And if it isn't stable, it will break up over smaller things than going abroad...

first off that you limit yourself because of your relationship, especially when you had already been 'ex's' before. second that you were accepted to a boarding school and you cant even type a decent sentence or check it. good one.

Goddammit people, SHE'S NOT FROM ******* INDIA!!! First of all, it is highly unlikely that she would go to a boarding school within her own country. Secondly (and most importantly) she wouldn't mention that the school is in India if she were already living there! Like I would not say "I got accepted to a great college in America," when I already live here.

It's twice as funny because I can see her seeing the criticism and thinking "omg you guys don't understand, you can't understand, it's special I really love him!". lol high schoolers

If you really had the relationship you think you had with this person, then wouldn't your boyfriend have known about your boarding school opportunity? What I mean is, wouldn't you have had a conversation together about how you plan to stay because of him BEFORE you sent the letter? At that point he would have a) told you he was oh-so-happy that you were staying, and you two would have planned your future after high school together, or b) told you kindly that he really thinks you should seize this amazing opportunity because you're in HIGH SCHOOL and he realized that you're too young to be making those sort of life-altering concessions for one another. Don't dwell on this, just learn from it and the next time a big opportunity comes your way, seize it!!
