Today, my boyfriend, and best friend, had baked a cake, and wouldnt tell anyone who it was for. When I asked he said I'd know soon. He met me after class to break up with me and offered me the cake to make me feel better. FML

Kinda sweet

Today, my boyfriend invited me over, so I went, not thinking anything of it. To my surprise, he broke up with me. I was pretty upset, and as I was leaving his mom handed me a box. When I got home, I opened it. His mom had baked me a break-up cake. FML

Today, someone brought cake to class. Trying to get some attention from the guy I have a crush on, I asked if he wanted my piece of cake. He accepted it, and then offered it to another girl. FML

Today, my boyfriend told me to stay home, because he wanted to come by to give me a birthday surprise. Later on, he came by, posted a note, rung the bell and left. The note was a break up note. FML

Deception

By Anonymous - 12/09/2009 16:21 - United States

Today, I threw an elaborate surprise birthday party for my boyfriend of four years. He thought we were going to a quiet dinner but when we arrived, thirty of his friends jumped out and surprised him. Instead of kissing me to thank me, he broke up with me because of how easily I had lied to him. FML

Today, I had my sweet sixteen party. All my best friends came to the microphone to make a little speech. When my boyfriend came to do his, he broke up with me. FML

Today, my boyfriend gave me the best birthday ever, then promptly broke up with me at midnight to get back with his ex, because he "didn't want to ruin my special day." FML

The gift that keeps on giving

Today, I broke up with my boyfriend, since we weren't getting along. When I got home, I remembered that today is his birthday. Him and all our friends now think I'm a total bitch. FML

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, it was my birthday. My boyfriend made me breakfast in bed, then we went out shopping, had a picnic, watched a good romcom, had a fancy dinner, and ended the day with great sex. And when the clock struck twelve, he dumped me. FML

Today, I went to the doctor, only to find out I can no longer eat chocolate, my favorite food. When I got home, my boyfriend took the chocolate cake I'd been eating from the fridge, sat down in front of me, and ate the whole thing without breaking eye contact. FML

Why do women (in the comments) act like a guy breaking up with you means he's a douchebag. Nowhere does it say that he was an asshole, or broke up with her to **** her best friend. All it says is he broke with her and made her a cake to help her feel better. SO WHAT! Would you rather him stayed with her until he was so unhappy that he did resort to ******* her best friend?!

How is this an FML? Do you not like cake or something?

Is a nice enough thing, but I would te;l him to take the cake, he is the one that obviously equates junk food as an emotional replacement. Better him than you :)

59...that's why it's incorrect. the boyfriend and the best friend are the SAME person, thus the second two commas are unneccessary.

Guys...the commas are there for a reason. Its her boyfriend who's her best friend as well. She could've said my boyfriend and (my) best friend without comma. Why would he need help baking a cake. He's not a jerk, though I agree with the smushing cake in his cake tehee.

Wow you people are unbelieveably shallow and stupid. He breaks up with her, but because he cares enough to not want to hurt her, he bakes her a cake. Honestly, that's a great way to break up if it's inevitable. As far as break ups go, it's definitely one of the better ways to do it. Would you perfer if the boyfriend said something like, "it's because you're fat" or "I'm ******* your best friend" or "I realized I'm too good for you"? Seriously, not all relations work out, you people act like every couple in the world should stay as a couple for the rest of their lives, even if one of them is suffering because of it.

#55, the boyfriend and best friend are the same person. Enjoy being a smug asshole.

I think it's nice that he baked you a cake. It shows he cares about you as a friend, or at least cares enough about your feelings to try and soften the blow. Most guys aren't that nice. I'm sorry it didn't work out, but there are much worse ways to be dumped by someone.

If you think about it, it's not that bad. My boyfriend recently broke up with me by text saying "I don't want to have a girlfriend right now." Then going out with my bestfriend the next day.

Breakups happen. At least he was nice enough to bake you a cake, rather than text you or leave you a voicemail.

That was really thoughtful of him to show that he does care about you, just not in the same way and so I did something for you to expreess his appology for hurting you. So I'm sorry it didn't work out, but it wasn't meant to be.
