Today, I noticed this guy crying in the park. I went up to him to see what was wrong. Apparently his girlfriend broke up with him, and he also said he wanted to kill himself. My first response was, "Don't, you'll regret it later." FML

Today, I went to go meet my boyfriend at a restaurant to tell him it just wasn't working out. Before I could do so, he proposed. I had to tell him no, so he started to cry and ran out. Everyone looked at me like some kind of monster. FML

Today, I was texting my friend. He has a history of depression, which we were talking about, and somehow, he turned the conversation to, "If we ever broke up, I would kill myself." I didn't even know we were even going out. FML

Today, I had a mental breakdown. Many things have been going completely wrong in my life, and I finally decided to let my boyfriend know about it. After about an hour of explaining and pouring my heart out, his response was, "I think we were better off as friends." FML

Today, I came home crying after my boyfriend dumped me for another girl. My dad told me to come tell him what was wrong. I sat down and let it all out, after which he looked up from his book, into my eyes, and gave me his loving advice: "Just cry about it and move on to another bastard." FML

Today, the cops had to be called while my boyfriend and I were hanging out with some friends of ours. It all started when one of them said that he would kill himself if I didn't "just end your fucking relationship already, and date me instead." FML

o.o *insert facepalm here* Next time, if there is one, try saying the good old fashioned, "she didn't deserve you, there are better women out there." Maybe it will have more soothing effect.

I think it was a nice gesture of you to see if he was alright. Maybe that helped him a little to talk to someone

Don't worry about it, I'm sure he understood what you were trying to say. It's the intention that counts! I bet he was happy to hear someone cared. Perhaps it even makes him smile when he thinks about it later. You're a good person that's what matters.

I'm sure it wasn't so bad. It's an automatic response that we really can't control. It's ALMOST the same as someone saying, "Hey! I'm gonna drop out for absolutely no valid reason (I know there are sometimes valid reasons for dropping out of school) and get a job at McDonald's (not bashing on any fast food workers. We need you :) ). Your first response would be, "Don't do that. You'll regret it later in life." Anytime someone thinks about making a bad decision, we think about the long run. You were just trying to help, OP.

I always felt like it's babyish to want to kill yourself over a breakup. It sucks, but it's not the end of the world. So I say, suck it up guy in the park.

You obviously never been in a serious relationship then. :S

I agree, crying and feeling down, yes, but no female is worth ending your own life. The guy in the park probably wanted attention.. and if u think about it it worked, he got his own FML posting lol "99 problems but a bitch ain't one"

So you want to kill yourself after every serious relationship ends? You obviously overreact just like OP.

no he probably has its just honestly it's not worth killing your self over I mean the dude in the park must have really loved her but he needs to move on and there is some one out there that can care for him as much as he did for her.

Considering ending his life is a bit extreme :(. But very upset and depressed is understandable :P :(

I agree. It is depressing, but all I'm saying is killing yourself is ridiculous.

Killing yourself over a break up is an overreaction, but it does happen. Sometimes it hints at deeper problems, sometimes it's a release of anger. It could not and should not be determined on whether a relationship was serious or not, because rarely is that true.

That is what I was thinking. Why would you end your life over someone that didn't care enough to stay with you? I agree that if he was serious that something deeper must have been going on.

Relationships shouldn't be based on the obligation to stay with someone for fear that they might kill themselves. If the girl didn't return feelings for the boy, then she has every right to break up with him. Leading him on only would do more damage. It doesn't mean she doesn't care about him. If anything, you could argue that she cares a lot for him because breaking up with someone can be very hard, painful work. If he cannot see past his own loss and move on with his life, it is he who is being selfish.
