Love: Today, I was stuck home with a cold when my boyfriend's best...

Today, I was stuck home with a cold when my boyfriend's best friend sent me a text saying, "You doing alright?" I replied, thinking he was talking about my health. He replied, "I'm surprised you're taking the breakup so well." What breakup? Mine. He was ten minutes too soon. FML

Today, I got the flu. Feeling really sick and depressed, I called my boyfriend to get some comfort. When he didn't answer his phone, I called his house, only to hear his mother telling me, "He was so sad that you guys broke up." I didn't know. FML

Today, I came home sick. After a while I received a text message. I thought it was a sweet 'how are you baby?' from my boyfriend. It wasn't. He sent: 'Hey, I'm going to work now. Please do not disturb. Thank you!' FML

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, I broke up with my boyfriend. I had only been dating him for about a month. Thinking he wouldn't take it very hard, I invited him over so I could tell him in person. Little did I know he was going to start crying on my couch and not leave for 5 hours. FML

Today, I woke up feeling awful, having caught the same illness my boyfriend had last night. When he was sick, I skipped my friend's baby shower to take care of him. Now that I'm sick, he goes to a friend's place, says to call if I need him, then turns his phone off. Seriously. FML

Today, my boyfriend called me to break up with me. Immediately after we hung up, I started crying hysterically. I thought I dialed my best friend, and as soon as the line picked up, I yelled, "That motherfucker broke up with me!" My now ex-boyfriend replied, "Yeah, I know I did." FML

His best friend seems to care more about you than he does

It was orchestrated so your (ex)BF wouldn't be the one to break up with you.

Early bird (friend) trying to get the worm (newly exed girlfriend). But still rather sweet to check on you!

You do realize you just completely contradicted yourself, right? If he's just trying to get with her, as you said, then it's not sweet of him to check on her, it's just part of the plan to get what he wants. And if he was really trying to be nice and make sure she's okay, then he wouldn't be trying to get in her pants right after she's been dumped. It's one or the other, not both.

Looks like the bf cared about you more op..

Why would HIS bestfriend ask how you were about the break-up ? Guy is trying to creep I see. I am just assuming. Get better soon OP , on both situations.

Yeah...sounds like his best friend wanted to be the first to 'comfort' you. But still fyl, being sick and hearing that kind of news, though sounds like your boyfriend was a jerk anyways if he couldn't wait for a better time to do that.

A better time? She just had a cold. Colds don't kill you. Come to the Netherlands, and you'll always have some sort of cold. And when someone breaks up with someone, doesn't always mean they don't care. Maybe he isn't in love with that person anymore, and it's sad to let the person believe that he still is.

You should date him -- he's psychic! With that kind of power, you can play the lottery and the stock market and clean up! You can try to dump him, but he'll see that coming a mile away.
