Love: Today, my boyfriend asked me out to dinner, which we never do....

Today, my boyfriend asked me out to dinner, which we never do. While at the restaurant he gets down on his knees, looks me in the eyes, and pulls out a little box. He opens it and inside is a note that says 'We're Done.' He then leaves me at the restaurant with the bill and the $2.00 box. FML

Today, my boyfriend took me out to a fancy dinner. Halfway through, he said he wanted to break up. I started crying, but the whole restaurant thought he'd proposed, and started clapping. FML

Today, my boyfriend took me on a surprise date to an expensive restaurant. After the meal, he got down on his knee and proposed. We've only been dating for two weeks, so I said no. He just silently kept staring me in the eyes, no matter what I said or did. I ended up having to walk home. FML

Today, I went to a restaurant with my boyfriend. After dessert, he went to the bathroom so I quickly called the waiter over and paid the bill, thinking it was a nice gesture. When he returned, he broke up with me for "emasculating" him. FML

The old switcheroo

Today, my fiance's divorce was finalized and we went out to dinner to celebrate. I stepped away to use the bathroom, then came back to a note on the table saying, "I'm going to enjoy single life, thanks!" He left me with the bill. FML

Today, my boyfriend took me to dinner. As we waited for our food he took my hand and said, "I think we should break up." When I got outside, my tire was flat. FML

Today, I went on a date with a guy that I have been crushing on for 2 years. At the end of the date he tells me that he is moving away and as his going away present, I could pay for dinner. 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

Why would he try that hard to be mean? Did you cheat on him?

Woooooooowww... Honestly, If i were you, i woulda keyed his car and forked his house by now. :D Haha! But seriously, you're better off without him. Send him and his punk self to tool academy and let the next chick deal with him. (If there happens to be another one willing to tolerate his crap) God bless you honey!

He has no life if he did it so extravagantly. You are so much better off without his idiotic ass. You should make it up to yourself with a wild drunken night of sexual orgies.

I would have expected a bit more sympathy, especially since most people on this site shed more sympathy for a dog crapping on a wedding cake (not sure if that is an actual FML) than they do for a person who not only is the epitome of embarrassment but also got stuck with the bill. Personally, I am kind of crossed on this one. On one hand, it sounds like the OP's now ex-boyfriend is a complete DB and seriously needs to be hung by his wrists and drained of his blood so he dies. On the other hand, Newton's Third Law of Motion states that "for every action there is an equal or opposite reaction" and that the OP may have omitted to having cheated on the now ex-boyfriend or worse. F**k this. I'm gonna go watch some hockey.

I love that you brought Newton's Third Law of Motion into that.

You're well rid of him, he's quite an ass. Concentrate on finding someone worthier. It seems that you may have low self-esteem if you "never go out to dinner with your boyfriend." Find someone who will treat you better, spend money on you and treat you right. If after date number three the dude seems like an asshole, dump him. I don't think your ex is too much of a brain trust, though, he seems like a bit of a sadistic narcissist actually. I'm sure it won't be hard to come up with a list of reasons not to miss him. I would also block his phone number because this type of idiot will call you up for a booty call (trust me, I've dated them all - this one is best hung up on and call blocked).
