Today, I went to my girlfriend's house to celebrate our 4-year anniversary with a shadow box I had made for her of our memories over the years. I left her house single, with a small bag of "breakup candy." FML

hey guys, OP here. I would like to say thanks for the support on this post. So as for breaking up, it went as smoothly as I could hope for. She was kind enough to answer all of my "but why" questions and the candy was some of our shared favorites. I guess I should have seen the breakup coming but I was in serious denial for a few months. We are still on talking terms and are separating peacefully but it doesn't suck or hurt any less.. As for why it happened on our anniversary? It wasn't really planned in any way to be on that day. it just... played out like that. I know this sounds dumb but it was the first time we had gotten to speak at length in over a month. I hope this clears up any questions.. Thanks again for the support ya'll show

She either went out and bought you candy (to cheer you up?!??) or she just gave you some leftover pity candy Either way that is harsh.

That's horrid she could've at least waited a little longer or done it sooner

Another breakup is just another step closer to someone who will make you a happier better person.

what I more curious in this story is how come you don't have any idea she going to break up with you when you the only one still "enjoy" in your relationship? any sign? nothing? or maybe she really good at it.

The final straw might've been the fact that after 4 years you got her a shadow box....

You don't know her or their relationship. Even though it obviously didn't work, she probably would have really enjoyed the gift under different circumstances. No need to kick the guy while he's down.

Break up candy NEEDS to be a thing. I know I'd look back at my past relationships in a more positive light, yeah she dumped me but damn she gave me some great breakup candy. Hallmark should stop selling card and only sell break up candy baskets.

I hope at least there were some Reese's peanut butter cups in the bag.

At least your tears will be hitting the seats of that i8 in your profile pic, if it's really yours.
